hi, guys. another thought: what if I do an oil change between each dealer visit(6mon/5k mi, toyota factory dino) with a good quality dino oil like chevron or penzoil 10w30? or just bring M1 to the dealer and ask them to do it every 6mon/5k mi? thanks.

Thanks for all your guys warm replies. I heard Toyota was notorious on warranty denial. I'll try 5w30 in the first 5yr/60k mi period and then switch to 10w30. Thanks again.

John, mine is an automatic one. My wife didn't want a manual one. Glad to know you'll do some Mod on your camry. I myself also prefer 10w30. My '89 honda prelude and '95 chevy corsica use 10w30 dino. So far I'm very satisfied with it. If there's no warranty issue, I'll definately go for 10w30...

thanks for your reply. However, 5w30 is the only grade written in owner's manual. I sort of concern about warrenty issue. Any recommendation among 5w30s?

Hi, there. Finally retired my '89 lude with about 210k miles. Now i get this new baby from local dealer. I worry about warrenty issue so that I probably won't do the OC myself. Toyota asks 5kmiles or 6 months as OC interval. I'm thinking to use M1 5w30. However read many negative posts about M1...

Great suggestions! So bad i'm late to read ur guys replies. :-( have to wait for next oil change. i'd better slightly increase the weight. chevron delo sounds good to me. Thanks again!

Okey, enough reading for me. The more I read, The more confused i feel. It seems hard for me to digest those great posts in this forum. :-( This is my case: I have an '89 honda prelude with 199k miles on it. According to the service receipts i have, the first owner put 20w50 mobile drive clean...

hi, i could not find similar topic about life of engine oil. my question is, how long can engine oil be stored before pouring into engine? i just bought two boxes of engine oil.maybe enough for two years use.
