Today I replaced the valve cover gasket on my 2000 Camry that I just bought. It has almost 195k miles and I logged into the Toyota Owners website and found all the dealer service records. It was maintained at the dealer for a long time, oil changes every 3-4,000 miles. This is one of Toyota's "Sludger" engines, the second one I have had, neither are even close to having a bit of sludge.
Written in there is some numbers, hand written, (3,4,5 etc.) so is this engine rebuilt or maybe had the head off or some engine work? Or are those number there from the factory?
I didn't change the oil yet. I'll be doing that tomorrow with Chevron Supreme HM 5w30 from my stash and a Fram Ultra.
Sorry for the bad pictures, it was very bright outside and they were the best I could get.
