Still have not spent much time reading through the board and learned anything?

Nothing new to learn. Dino is not nearly as good as synthetic. This is why synthetic is made; it's better. You don't really hear too much if anything about synthetic causing sludge/varnish unless it has been ran WAY too long. Of course that is dino's problem as well except it cannot go as long as synthetic. So, in a nutshell, use synthetic, change it every 7500-10,000 miles or 1 year (whichever comes first), use an OEM or Wix/Purolator oil filter, and be happy.


Thanks for proving my point!

If I don't find it for you disregard it. I know what read though. U do know that toyota has indeed listed engines that are prone to sludging right?? I will search over this week for it. If I cant list the article here on bonistheoilguy then forget it, but be aware of the problem.


I am FULLY aware of the letter that Toyota sent out identifying the engines and the models of the "sludge" engines. They ALSO stated in that letter to FOLLOW the RECOMMENDED OCI stated in the manual. Nothing about syn oil.

Most people operate in severe service and in the manual that OCI was 3,000 miles. The normal service was 7,500. In 2005 it went to 5,000 miles no matter what service you do with conventional oil.

Most people (like the member here who bought a Focus with "5k ocis which were more likely 7,500) don't follow the manual. Many of the vehicles brought into Toyota had 20 some odd thousand with the FACTORY FITLER STILL ON! They swore up and down that they changed their oil every 7,500 miles. Toyota still took care of them.

Don't worry about it. I've been here many years and seen a lot between the site and in real life. But hey, what do we know. We have members who have just shown up and they know it all.

Thanks for the reply. I do not in anyway say I know everything, and far from it at the very least. As stated, I will do my best to find the article that states to use synthetic. If I dont come up with it, call it [censored] if you must. It is a fact that there is 3.2million cars affected with this engine prone sludge engines e. Go to google, type in toyota engine sludge. Read all about really. Pennz platinum is in camry now. As stated it has run perfect so far.

Not sure what that is suppose to mean. Anyway, your original post was about running synthetic to prevent sludge/varnish to which YES run it.

To be honest, I am not sure what the engine size of my uncle's Camry was, but I am pretty sure it was a 4 banger.

Synthetic vs. Dino... Synthetic wins every time.

pp is a great oil but i might as well go with their best...8$ xtra isnt much for a oil nutjob like me...i spent 45 minutes idling my car with a/c on this w/e knowing my engine has best oil sopus has to offer protecting it, normally i would not do that but really any SM oil is very good going by how much abuse engines can take...ferraris must rev very high and so i guess i buy the hype...to me exxon and shell products (gas, oil, ATF) are what i want in my car if my life depended on going 3000 miles...BP would be last on list

Okay, looks like this thread is ending.

But first of all since your new. LEARN to see what/who members are talking to. It WILL make your time here MUCH easier. You are NOT the one who I was speaking about. It was the other members.

So your less than a few days PP has run perfect so far? I would hope so...

So someone NEEDS to OWN the SAME vehicle before their opinion is valid to you. Wow... In the many years I've been here I have not had a new member go there....

And for you, even though someone went overboard just hit the notify icon and let the mods take care of him. Do NOT go into vacation land with him.

With that, if you have ANY comments, PM me.
