  • A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician goes over Toyota's new engine technical review in simple and easy to understand terms.
    The new A25A-FKS and A25A-FXS engine from Toyota is widely popular engine in 2020 across multiple Toyota models both gasoline only and toyota hybrid models.
    This engine is a marvel of engineering with so many advancements in technology. It is possibly one of the most advanced and efficient Toyota engine ever made.
    In this series I will go over it's key features that makes it different than other engines.
    In this part of the series I will go over the following systems of the engine :
    1- Cooling system : With an electric water pump this engine gets a rapid warm up thanks to it's priority cooling system using valves to direct coolant where needed.
    2-Lubrication system : Variable pressure oil pump makes load on the engine low while optimizing pressure for continuous engine lubrication at all engine speeds. The use of 0W16 oil is a must in this engine.
    3-Direct injection system D4S is a genius system using both Direct and Port injectors therefore resolving the issues with direct injection carbon build up common on direct injection only engines.
    4-Exhaust Gas recirculation : The system is back on gasoline only models.

    The port injection allows fuel flow over the intake valves to remove carbon, it’s also makes better low rpm torque using port vs direct. The other thing it allows is for the engine to go through a direct injection self cleaning cycle during hot idle. The direct injectors actually have the ability to blow the carbon off of their tips and sides while the engine runs on the port injectors. Genius system.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the wind noise inside the cabin when driving in the freeway. The car is really comfortable and well made. I have the XLE trim. I recommend getting that trim if you can. It has a few options that are worth having. If you can afford the XSE, then go for it. There are more color and rim options.

      @@usercoimbar You made a great choice, it's absolutely an amazing car. From the styling, comfort and Lexus quality/reliability. I have never been a turbo lover and always avoided buying cars with them. Turbos create to much heat and pressure and with modern engines with all the plastic, you are just asking for trouble not to mention turbos don't last. Toyota/Lexus uses a bigger engine with a smaller turbo, so it should be more reliable compared to say German cars where they put large and sometimes two turbos in the worst location like on the top of the engine above the manifold. One thing people don't know who own vehicles with turbos, is that you can't just shut off your after driving, you need to idle it for a few minutes for the turbo and oil to cool off for a bit. I think the NX 350 uses a 2.4L with turbo. Congrats on your purchase.

    In regards to the EGR cooler. My coworker has a '15 Prius C and the EGR is fed post-cat. She uses her vehicle to commute 45 mins on the highway each way to go to and from work.
    Car has 120k on it and is serviced at the dealer. She was experiencing rattling and loss of power under low load (think stop and go traffic), every once in a while when the car would start up (Prius death rattle), and when the ICE would turn on after switching between electric and mixed us (middle of the eco bar).
    She went to 2 dealerships and 1 independent shop and they all told her nothing was wrong with her car because there was no codes stored or pending and they couldn't reproduce the issue. I called a 4th shop that are Toyota specialists and they told me they wouldn't be able to diagnose it unless it threw a code or had one stored or reproduced the issue while a scan tool was hooked up to the OBDII port. I contacted my buddy who owns an independent shop and I told him what it probably was, but to also run some other diagnostics just to rule out a bad coil, etc.
    Well, her EGR cooler was clogged solid. Once it was replaced, it runs fine. The passages are too small on the EGR cooler as designed.
    This EGR will clog, it 's just a matter of time. The only improvement that I see is that there is now a separate plenum that feeds the exhaust gas into the head / intake manifold.

    Heated thermostat can be used during warming phase as described but it also allows much reduced HP load for coolant flow. With the coolant flow valves and variable speed electric water pump there is no need for thermostat to have any temp control function other than speeding initial engine warm up. Once engine reaches temp the water pump speed becomes the main control of heat energy rejection. Low load creates low heat and low pump speed is all that is needed. The pump can run and move all the coolant needed with only 250-300 mA, maybe less. The mechanical water pumps oversupplied greatly and thermostat would reduce opening to keep coolant temp higher. Pushing water through the reduced opening takes fuel for that extra work.

    • @JuniorBetch

    Hi AMD, you are excellent at making the extremely complicated explanations simple. After having watched your channel over the past 3 years I purchased the same exact car(2023CamryHybridXSE)as you except in silver,without the black top.I traded in my 2017 Audi A8l 3.0 w/ 32k miles. I had previously owned over 20+ years only BMW’s.,from a 2006 750li ,to my last a 2015 X4. I truly loved the technology of the German cars, but found them to be finicky and problematic (not all of them). What I felt was that the technology was forced into the car because of trying to always one up the competition, either in the engineering and or entertainment/safety. Which brings me to this video and how you describe the Toyota 2.5 and the painstakingly thought out process they took to design this motor. I have always been a big Toyota fan from my very early 20’s . My first one I owned was a 1977 white Corolla,then 1979 Celica hatchback. The last Toyota I owned till now was a 1985 Toyota Celica ST that my brother bought brand new. He gave me the car with 150k miles, which I took to 210K , and sold with the original clutch and NEVER 1 issue. I went to the Toyota dealer this past Dec , and when I drove the 2023 Camry Hybrid I was blown away impressed(your descriptions were spot on). I really like the looks, and even acceleration was good , making me impressed enough to buy it. I would just like to thank you and your wife for making the channel and staying with it. I do actually have a question on the use of the paddle shifters. If I use them to downshift in trying to slow the car (charging/save on the brakes) am I putting a lot on strain, or doing damage to the transmission? An why do I see in certain blogs that they say the brakes last a lot longer on this particular hybrid? Thank you for sharing your talents . God Bless you and your family. 🙏Eddie S

    On the engine oil, the owners manual for the Australian A25A-FKS states that it can run 0w16, 0w20, 5w20 and 5w30 reliably and can even handle 10w30. I would posit that CAFE/EPA make it so stringent that the auto mfg has to recommend the thinnest oil to meet the EPA MPG requirements at the detriment to the rotating assembly. You make it a point to talk about how smart Toyota engineers are, and I bet they’re smart enough to configure the electronic oil pump to put out the correct pressure in a whole range of engine oil viscosities. Please stop with the kool-aide and shoot everyone straight. 0W16 is government juice, just like DEF in a diesel after treatment system.
