Re: Oil for 2.4 GD-6
Any good quality multigrade diesel oil will work. I have not had to service my 2.8 GD6 but only used Caltex Delo 400 on my D4D. I serviced my bakkie from 100 000 kilos till 310 000. The guy who bought it is now servicing it and it has done in excess of 450 000 kilos.

Re: 2007 Hilux 4WD problem
The function of the B/R wire is to provide a signal to the ABS or VSC/TRC control module (depending on the model - my older D4D did not have VSC) to disable the ABS or VSC/TRC. I sold my D4D some years ago but if memory serves this happens when the rear diff-lock is engaged. This is only possible in...

Sorry for only responding now. Check all the fuses etc. related to the ABS. Something is causing the voltage drop. Bad connection or something similar. I would only disconnect (cut) wires with the view of isolating a fault and reconnecting later.

Do you get the green 4x4 flashing light coming on periodically when driving in 2WD? You are correct. The moment you shift to 4WD H the ADD should activate and lock the front diff. Did you install a new ADD?
When you engage 4WD, does the 4x4 light keep on blinking?
