First owner (Doctor lol) 80K KM genuine mileage and everything. The engine had a bit of sludge when I bought. Pretty common to Toyota 1NZ engine but due to Covid lockdown it didn't run much.  I did periodical oil changes at 6 months at the agent (Toyota 10W30) but the earlier owner hasn't done so. At cold starts, car started giving a sound similar to banging metal inside the engine as if oil is not flowing. The sound will come up to 5-10 minutes and then all good. Looks like the sludge problem has got worsen. Low usage might have accelerated the problem. Sold it but I informed the new owner about it and he was a mechanic so he took it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
