This 2002 Toyota Camry hasn't had an oil change in 5 years.

I think I'd change it again after about 500 miles.

Especially since you used full synthetic. I wouldn't recommend switching to synthetic at that mileage but fresh anything is better than what it had!

That is very clean oil for 30k. Changed out oil after 30k miles on relative’s 1993 camry and that had a layer of sediment on the bottom of the oil pain. I just used the cheapest wally world oil available and did another change after 500 miles to get most of the rest of the gunk out. Car still runs now but barely passes smog.

This oil may have less than 30k... sometimes you just forget to change the sticker and the fiilter.

Might be that it burns enough oil to make it a rolling oil change.

A guy at work didn’t change his oil in his 2009 Ford Focus diesel for 60,000 miles and somehow it was still working. Sounds a bit tappy now and the oil was still liquid !

Great job man! The engine thanks you! Did you start it up and then recheck the level?

I brought my vehicle to an auto repair a few months back. It’s a 2017 Honda odyssey with 200k miles that I took in for an engine misfire and transmission grind and shudder. I was given the awful news that I’m better off replacing the engine and the transmission. He added that the engine oil hasn’t been changed for over 6k miles and that was the direct result of my engine problem. He told me to stop changing the oil completely, That it’s so worn that the sludge is actually what’s keeping my engine’s intact. Fast forward 2 months later, It’s now 20k miles overdue with a continuous misfire. It has poor acceleration as even the slightest over rev will cause the transmission to get stuck in gear and shudder hard. I haven’t thought much of getting a second opinion because I’m always out of money and diagnostics are expensive, It’s too much of a gamble!😕

Do you really think it was 30,000 over due?

@TheFoMoCo1903 Жыл бұрын

I doubt that it has more than 20k on that oil

You can run a cleaner through the engine to get the Sludge out and open the oil passages to the top end. I did it on a 2016 kia sorento that went 20k over due and it was turbo put fresh oil in and the cleaner ran it for 30 mins at idle and when i dropped the drain bolt she was about that dark that came out but after that she ran alot better and turbo seemed to spool faster and stop burning oil.

@em4703 Жыл бұрын

That can work, but it can also clog the tiny oil passages inside the turbo and kill it completely. Aspirated engines, it's fine, wouldn't do it with a turbo. Just do 3-4 2-3k mile oil changes and the additives in the oil slowly clean the sludge themselves with less risk.

@@em4703 yeah agree but i have found some turbos to burn up from oil flow so figured it wasnt going to hurt it as bad

@markjou9799 Жыл бұрын

I once went 50k on mine but then got rid of it. I did add oil from time to time keeping it at the full mark. It was a beater though and the dealer only gave me 750 for it when I traded it in.

Oh, FYI, there is a special funnel made just for Toyotas that screws into the oil fill hole. Because you can't stick a regular funnel in there due to a design flaw on those engines. I think I got mine for like $5 or something but it makes changing the oil a breeze on any Toyota. Not that your grandfather is actually concerned about that though LOL

Yeah, I also thought so. The oil doesn't look so bad for a 30k and I've seen a lot worse. They must've not updated the oil mileage sticker prior to this.
