dagling Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was really surprised when I spoke and saw the car (owned by foreigner) ... a friend has an Isuzu MU 7 which has incredible 835.000 km and is still in very good condition. Only had normal services every 10.000 km. Must be a very reliable engine ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Isuzu makes good engines. 400 km/day on average...seems like a delivery truck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Many diesel engines makes are good and 520,000 miles on a diesel is doable but what's the full service history, must have had some further work carried out on it apart from the normal 10,000 km service record. ?

Can't believe that some kind engine work has not been done, not necessary major but something apart from steering joints etc etc. The history would interesting to know on a high kilos engine like this to me that's all.

Perhaps full syn oil from new, no timing belt to worry about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullcave Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Normally the locals change the motor out at around 400k. No big deal, just slap one in. Cheap and plentiful here in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
