So Should you buy Toyota's new V6 engine? In this video I'll take you on a Tour of the updated 2GR-FKS engine, We'll cover some common problems then I'll give you my opinion on what's better and what's worse.
First we'll cover the mechanical changes including the plastic valve covers, the changes in the cylinder head and Variable valve timing.
Then we'll cover the lubrication system and the cooling system which included more plastic parts than before.
We'll take a look at the D4S Direct injection system and how it takes care of the carbon build up issues.
Lastly I'll share with you some of the common problems that i've seen working on this engine from oil leaks, coolant leaks and the trending thermostat issues.
See this video for the spark plug replacement for this engine:

See this video for the cooling bleeding for the previous version of this engine:

Been a tech for 38yrs pretty proud to see there's still good and honest guys out there
-
I’m a tech and car care nut is beyond the best I tune to to learn about Toyota engines. He is the man and a legend in my opinion.
-
Love this channel. Whether they know it or not, Toyota owed you a debt of gratitude. I know the online Tacoma users do!
-
As cars have got more complex, Toyota's focus on robust engineering is of prime importance to car buyers.
-
I’ve had Toyota’s since 1985 and everyone of them were reliable, it’s nice to feel comfortable driving around for hundreds of thousands of miles and not worried of a break down; seams like I’ve been doing R&D for Toyota for over 35 years.

I have 2GR-FSE on my 2015 IS350, I never had an issue with oil leak or oil consumption, even after 250k its still running very smoothly, I just used cheap walmart oil and oil filter every 5k miles. Very reliable engine, decent power, decent fuel economy, very easy to maintain.
-
I like the 2gr-fks in my Tacoma. I'm a huge fan of the dual fuel injection, no more carbon build up for intake valves. Genius.

I own a 2008 4Runner Limited V8 w/ 140k & a 2019 Avalon XLE w/ 21K. This channel is GOLD!!!

The more I watch your videos, the more I love your content. You get to the point, show examples, easy to understand, and it's very obvious you like what you do. I also appreciate the transparency and honesty. Thank you so much for the helpful videos!
-
This is a Top Notch Mechanic. Very articulate. Very well spoken. I enjoy listening to his advice. 😉👍👍👍😎
-
Simply my favorite channel on YouTube, thanks for what you do AMD!
-
The “common problems” portions of your videos are priceless!
-
Videos are great haven’t been able to stop watching them, very well put together. Taking your advice and getting my break in oil change on my 2022 Highlander tomorrow morning at my local Toyota dealership where I purchased the vehicle. I put in the notes “ I realize my vehicle is new and only has 1000 miles but it is my preference to perform an break in oil change” hopefully I won’t need to explain more once I arrive 🤷🏽♂️
-
You are the only one in YouTube land who’s explained my engine. It’s refreshing and Thankyou for the beloved Tacoma.
-
I love it! “Were not going to have any problems with the plastic parts inside because they are well made not like other manufacturers.” ***Flashes BMW***, just like Scotty Kilmer does. You are by far my favorite channel when I have questions regarding my 16’ Toyota Camry Hybrid Le.
-
Love the fantastic information you provide on this engine and the 4cyl on the Rav4. Have had two cars with the 2GR-FE and they were/are great workhorses. Great info for DIYers like me!!
-
Hey Mr. Car care. I wanted to mention how much I appreciate your channel in keeping the DIY mechanics like myself informed and keeping things sincere when it comes to being transparent in what job are out of our realm and what we should done by a professional mechanic. With that said I am considering the newly released TX line. Specifically the plug-in hybrid with the 3.5 L 2GR-FXS V6. Like this video is it possible to get your professional opinion on the engine and your likes and dislikes. Thank you 🙏🏾. Again I appreciate you and your channel and their members on the great and detailed informational videos you’ve provided for your viewers.

As a proud owner of a Toyota Aurion with the 2GR-FE. Its really nice to see a in depth video about these engines. 👍🏼
-
Your videos are incredible! What a blessing to all of us driving Toyotas with this engine! Thank you!

The host is a master mechanical expert level Toyota ninja, such a pleasing voice, really explains how the engine works and the changes
