A MECHANIC with 55 years' of experience has said a car firm is making a mistake by changing a popular motor.<\/p>\n

Car veteran Scotty Kilmer took to\u00a0social media\u00a0to warn drivers that Toyota has replaced V6 engines in its Highlander with a four-cylinder turbo engine.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Scotty claimed the change would mean the engine would need higher revolutions per minute to tow things.<\/p>\n

The vehicle would therefore have worse miles to the gallon.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0YouTube\u00a0video, Scotty said: "I personally think Toyota is making a big mistake. People are towing boats and stuff with them.<\/p>\n

"When you put these four-cylinder turbos in, you have to rev up higher with them.<\/p>\n
