1FZ-FE FUEL ECONOMY - MY EXPERIENCE

In this Episode of LC80 Revival, I give you my thoughts on fuel consumption in the big 6 cylinder 1FZ-FE

[vytas]

I had my trans oil replaced at 350, 000km because it was malfunctioning. After that it was perfect, like a new car. I recommend it.

Here in Australia, I use Penrite 20W-60 every 3000-5000km in my 1FZ-FE. She loves it.

Great video! I have an 80 series 1FZ, 100 series v8, and a 200 series v8. The 200 series gets the worst gas mileage out of all of them. The 80 series actually does the best out of all 3. They are all great trucks. Thanks for a great video, and sharing your experience!

I have an 80 with the 1FZ-FE. It is a thirsty engine I guess around 18 mpg on a long motorway run, around town it definitely half that. It’s difficult to give real costing due to fluctuating fuel prices in the U.K. I get around 350 miles to a full tank if used on the motorway at motorway speeds (70mph).
5/30 is the correct oil which does need to be changed regularly but fully synthetic. I use Castrol Magnatec which seems to be very good. I find changing the ignition timing from factory to around 9 degrees and tire pressures of 40psi definitely helps performance and economy. Oh, I had to replace both cats. I chose cheaper ones off eBay and coincidentally these made a huge difference to performance, definitely beneficial albeit a bit noisier.
So, figures, well roughly timed 0-60mph of just under 10 seconds on flat road. Not bad for the type of vehicle, its abilities and 27 years old with only regular servicing. Oh, it’s my daily driver.

I have a 1996 FZJ80, automatic. Average 16.5 to 17L/100km on 91 octane.

[nudibanches]

I get under 15L/100km on the highway, around 20L/100km around town. Roof rack, awning, bull bar, 33s, winch, fridge, rear drawers. Back off on the right foot (mine is right hand drive) and it's okay. As you say, you are hauling a big heavy brick around and the 1FZ was never designed as a frugal engine. I run 10w/40 semi in mine, located in Canberra, Australia. 373, 000 on the clock. Engine never been opened, running great.

[arseniosapatinha]

I still love that 80 series. Good work bro...

[polacoevolution]

💯 agree, I have 4 1fz at home me my son and my wife 🙃 fzj 79 105x2 and 80 series always using 10w50 penrite full synthetic with P.T.F.E additive, the ute have 450k kms never been open and still going strong, thanks for the video bro 👍

[RonaldChapman-jgxu]

I love my 97, 80 series! Thanks mate.

[NKPGarage]

Great video with a lot of relevant details from real world experience!

[TheKennedy]

Any 80 series was never made with frugality in perspective . Just keep it efficient and it runs great. i don't know how fast it is, have driven Gwagon, range rover p38 in Nairobi and they are fair not great.

[kevinmaina]

Considering I’ve seen some Toyota Crowns doing a range of 7. That’s some decent number.

[gunnarmoeller]

See, just the way you look at it. I get happy when I get under 20l/100km and I drive my car mostly recreational, so fair enough.

[badermohammed]

Plus swap your automatic with 5 speed manual and 225/95/16 Dunlop tires. you will see how torquey and power improvements plus more fuel efficiency you will get. My experience with j80 goes back to 28 years with extreme desert driving. Stick to this game plans plus oil change every 5000km then it is forever machine.

[lftyzy]

I'm getting 28L/100ks, highway ks, need to try and configure .

[badermohammed]

Try semi synthetic 20 50 krxxx the Korean oil company, you will be impressed on the power

[Richardharrison]

I got 168 with a quarter tank 🥲 i used 10w30 ams oil. Any suggestions people? Motors rebuilt has 70K kms in it

[hrstolive]

Is this engine reliable? Looking at a 1992 land cruiser with 78k miles on it and trying to figure out what to expect

[ananthakrishnanh]

1:30 Its the first time I have seen a 20 litre reserve tank

[dommonte]

105 series same engine has 390, 000km, still going
