CHECKING THE CORROSION ON MY TOYOTA HILUX |S2EP4|
I’m driving Rafiki, my Toyota Hilux, for a first service check in Africa!
Bear in mind that Rafiki drove 10,000 km across Europe and Turkey and that it was time for a check up.
And thanks to the amazing and united overland community in South Africa, and through a friend (Roland) of friend (Morne), El Motor Workshop offered me a service for free!!
The owner of El Motors is, in fact, the brother of my dear friend Morne: Renier.
During 78 hours, Renier and his dedicated team worked on Rafiki nonstop.
Thanks to Terrain Tamer, I could get new spare parts as well. I felt very blessed and I couldn’t started the solo expedition across Africa the best way!
Many thanks again to my friends Roland, Morne and Renier. And a GIANT thanks to the whole staff of El Motor Workshop for the care, the dedication, the positive mood, and mind blowing professionalism!
I more than recommend El Motors, a small but very pro and human workshop in Cape Town.

Thanks so much my Anil 💙
if you didn't know, you can put brand new oil into most diesels and if you then drain it without running the engine it's pretty much black. certainly if you run for a day, it'll come out black as that is. it's all the particulates that are flushed around the engine. Nothinng to worry about. the feel of the oil is more important, it should not feel gritty and if you rub it between your fingers it should slide smoothly. 🙂look pretty good other than the normal wear and tear parts.

A free service? That's so nice! (I laughed at all the sand that fell out of the holes when the skid plate was removed!) "Oh no! He's stealing my car!" 😂

Not to be negative, It is fantastic that you got a free service on your car cudo's to the guys that gave it to you.. But the oils being used was the cheapest most horrible stuff on the market. unless you going to change it out soon then it will be Ok, but if you are going to keep it in the gearbox's and diffs for a long time, I would advise to get it changed to something much better especially if you want a long term hastle free Rafiki. Remember good quality oils with maintance will ensure you trouble free driving. Was awsome to see the small little upgrades they did for you..
