Re: Tyre Sizing On Spare Wheel

The problem is that you can't run different size tyres over a diff. The one wheel is then constant running faster than the other one which will damage the diff at high speed. Also using the diff lock is not an option. Better stick to the same size and manufacturer all round

Re: New to the Hilux side of things

Welcome Bain. Oil: Caltex Delo Gold 15W40 is my preference on both petrol and diesel. Not a big fan of synthetic oil.

Just a question regarding the rest of the parts, you are saving a lot of money by servicing it yourself so why not use OEM (original Toyota) parts?
