I just got back from a visit to my mother. I found out she hasn't changed the oil on my dad's car since he passed away three years ago. She drives his 02 Camry V-6 in the winter (her car is a convertible with regular dealer oil changes). Mostly short trips, less than 20 miles round trip, often 10 or less. Three years and 11,000 miles on the oil and filter.
It was last serviced by the dealer in Dec 06 with a Toyota Denso 08922-02011 and bulk 5w30. I put in a Supertech filter, a quart of MMO, and Valvoline 5w30 dino. I plan on changing it out in the spring regardless of mileage.
The oil looked pretty good, still clear with a brownish tint. Oil filter autopsy looked no worse than a 3-5K run on one of my cars. Denso looks to make a fine filter.
Any damage done, or suggestions?
