a Toyota V6 Engine completely blew up because of a failed rubber oil line which is common on the 2GR-FE 3.5L V6 Toyota\Lexus Engine.
This problem with the V6 engine is a common one. The oil cooler line in certain years were made of rubber and can rupture at any moment which is what happened to this highlander and cost it it’s engine at only 144k miles.
This engine is one of the greatest engines Toyota made however the early examples with an oil cooler could suffer an early end because of it.
The owner of this car opted to go with a used engine which we discuss some of the risks associated with it.

Loved the Moment of Silence with music 😀
Interesting that you could put that 2013 engine into a 2008.
My wife drives our 2013 Highlander. It’s her baby.
Maintained regularly. It now has 145,000 miles. Still gets a combined 21 MPG per tank.
Hello AMD, great video! Does the 2ZR-FE 4 cylinder have a "rubber oil hose" equivalent that should be preemptively changed?
May the LORD bless & keep you also man! You are a great teacher!
now I wanna be a mechanic…thats how interesting and educational your videos are.
Im glad I found your channel. Thank you for the amazing content 🙂
if you have ever been to a salvage yard you would know how much of a gamble a used engine is. between the alcoholic mechanics to the tractort/ransport drug addict driver the engine is not exactly treated with white gloves.
Great video. Thanks for the detail and honesty. You do a great job.
You’re telling me it’s meant to blow up later?
Well it's not a 1gr-fe
Are catch cans worth it in your opinion I own a 14 Tacoma
