My 2000 Toyota has 282,000 km on it. The front valve cover has started to leak so I decided to pull the cover and have a look. The last 7 oil changes have been PP 5W30 at about 8000 km OCI. Prior to that I used brand name (PYB, GTX, QS, etc) dino 5W30 changed at 10,000 km on average. I have changed out the PCV valve 3 times. The Cam lobes still look very good!
