I do a lot of short trip driving. Most trips are less than three miles, and the engine, much less the oil, doesn't come up to full operating temperature.
About every two-three weeks I take a long highway drive, about 30 miles or so, with the intent of bringing everything up to full operating temp and driving off water and contaminants from the oil. My car doesn't have a real temp gauge, so I'm only guessing that this is adequate for the purpose.
The vehicle in question is a 2011 Camry 4-cylinder. Oil right now is Edge EP.
Any thoughts on how far, how long, or how often I should drive to accomplish the task? Thanks!
