- 2004 VY2 Executive sedan
G’day all
Recently purchased a 2005 VZ One Tonner that is unfortunately powered by the infamous chain rattler 3600 to replace my VY Commodore as a daily driver. Doing my research online into these vehicles having not had much to do with the One Tonners previously, I’ve been led to believe the 3.6 L Tonners had a 4L65E auto behind them, but the plate says it has an M30 which I’ve always associated with the 4L60E. Which trans is my vehicle meant to have in it? Also, what fuel consumption do people get out of these things? In my VY V6 sedan I can get 6.5-7.5L per 100 on a highway, and don’t get above 9.0L per 100 around town. In the Ute, I can’t get below 12L per 100 anywhere, are they really this thirsty? It seems to run well enough and I’ve already replaced the PCV hoses, canister purge hose, spark plugs, air filter and engine oil and filter.
