Dazed and Confused
Hello everyone,
Great forum and members. I'm joining from Nashville, Tennessee in the states.
Just bought a Japanese market '91 Safari with the 4.2L diesel and approximately 173,000KM. Runs great and in good shape from what I can tell. Primary issue is getting information, especially with a 12-digit VIN and everything in Japanese. My expectation when purchasing is that this is identical to the equivalent Patrol besides all of the Safari badging (not a huge fan, but will keep it original for now). This is going to be my son's driver in a year or so.
Interesting how easy it is to get conflicting info. Have a Haynes manual that says it holds 9.2L of oil (including filters), but I'm almost certain it's 11L (just an example). So, I've come to the experts. First time posting/using a forum of any type, so thanks in advance for your patience.
Cheers,
Brian

Welcome, my 4.2 ('06, GU) holds 10.5 litres of oil according to the books, but depending upon it's mood at the time will accept between 10.5 & 11 litres.
