Yes, many Hilux owners experience sputtering more frequently in colder temperatures. This can be due to a weak battery, thickened engine oil, faulty glow plugs for diesel engines, o r condensation in the fuel lines. Some drivers have resolved the issue by using winter-grade fuel, ensuring the battery is fully charged, and allowing the engine to warm up properly before driving. Have you noticed a similar pattern, and what solutions worked for you?
