Engine reliability and common problems:
The NZ engine series was specifically developed by Toyota for compact cars. First introduced in 1997, these engines are still in production today, proving their longevity and reliability. With proper maintenance, this engine is known to be exceptionally durable, as it continues to be used in new vehicle models.One of its key advantages is fuel efficiency relative to its power output. However, some weaknesses exist, including increased oil consumption, which often begins around 100,000 km. The timing chain has a relatively limited lifespan, requiring attention earlier than some other designs. Additionally, in cold weather, the engine takes longer than usual to reach optimal operating temperature.
If serviced according to the recommended schedule, the NZ engine can last up to 500,000 km, making it one of the most durable options in its class.
Overall, this engine can last around 270,000 to 450,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.

| Timing chain change interval | 150,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur. |
