Recently drove a Ford Fusion and liked it so I took wife to test drive and she didn't like. We bought a new Camry to replace a 2003 Camry. Don't like that tranny is not easily serviceable but drives great and I'll bet it still works fine at 200,000 miles. When momma is happy...

I had a 96 corolla with a 5 speed that i bought with 220k. I drove it for a year and sold it to a friend down the street. His daughter ran it out of oil at 310k. still had the original clutch. regularly got 38-39 mpg. also had a 88 accord that had 252k when i sold. tranny slipped until car...

I was til I had a filter start to plug after 8 or 9k. Amsoil oil and filter in 03 camry. The oil pressure light was taking several seconds to go out. Back to normal after OC. Will now do semiannual changes to keep OCI 5-6k on 2011 camry and abt 7k on 03 camry. better safe than sorry.

Watch your oil pressure light when you start your car and made sure you are getting quick oil pressure. I had a prob with my o3 camry and amsoil filter with only 8 or 9k. It was taking several seconds...maybe 4... for light to go off. Did an oil change and all was well again. Light went off...

I left a union job in Iowa for a nonunion job because I got a raise, better benefits, better working relationships with mgt, and better equipment. Many have followed in my footsteps. I can do this job til retirement age but the other was beating me up physically. and if Toyota is gonna treat you...

I will probably use Toy oil and filter due to the fact that I have a Toyota credit card and earn cash back. That's what I always use to buy things at the dealer instead of cash.

I thought I was doing the right thing buying Mich X's from Costco. 80k tire went just over 40k but had to be replaced cuz they weren't safe for Iowa winter with 4/32nds. I'm going to be more budget minded when buying tires as there will always be a wasted portion at the end of the tire life...

Like the color a lot. Have a dirty black one in the driveway with 1200 miles on it. That's what my wife wanted. It's very sharp when clean but what a pain. I'm going with 2 oc's per year and I'm the only guy who puts a wrench on the oil plug.

I'm very glad I caught this. Yes, it was the 25k filter. I changed the spark plugs at the time of the oil change so car was running fine. Would low tension piston rings add to the blowby when engine is not up to op temp? Once again this car had a lot of in town miles for the first 6k after oil...

When I started to experience problems was at the 8 month/ 8 or 9k mark. This was my wife's car up until 2 months ago when she got a new camry. It got a lot of in town miles while she was driving it... probably a factor.

THe issue with these filters is they didn't have the capacity for the 25k claim... at least for my application. After 8 or 9k my filter was full to the point of affecting oil pressure. 03 Camry with 92k 4 cyl.

I drive an 03 Camry and have used Amsoil with annual changes for abt 3 yrs.1st yr oil analysis was good. didn't do after 2nd year. After abt 8k in the 3rd year oil light began to stay on longer when starting car. Went to Amsoil dealer store and found out abt bulletin.This car was getting abt 10k...
