Hello, Im new to the forum. So please forgive me, if Im doing it wrong.
I have a 2002 Camry LE with a 4 cyl.
My brother has a 2003 Camry XLE with a 4 cyl.
Both Automatics. Both have just shy of 200,000 miles on them.
Need advice for oils. Both have been fed Supertech 10w-30 regularly for years. Maybe the occassional Pennzoil.
My brothers Camry went down 2 quarts from a gasket leak before he caught it. That's been repaired but now he's consuming oil badly since. Like a quart on a tank (500 miles).
My Camry is down about a 1/2 to 1 quart every 5000 miles or so.
I got some Valvoline Maxlife 10w-40 for his vehicle. See if that slows it up a bit. Dunno. We changed it last Sunday. Havent heard back from him yet on any results
What say you?
And Thanks!
I was thinking about going to a 40 weight myself. It gets hot around these parts during the summer, Charleston SC. Never gets much below 32 degrees Farenheit in the winter.
Maybe some Rotella T6 5w-40 or Mobil 1 0w-40. Pennzoil High Mileage 10w-40? Or should I just stick with 30 weights.
