1-year OCI (from August 4, 2012 to July 27, 2013)--actually 8 days shy of 1 year.
Toyota OEM (Denso) air filter and oversized Mobil 1 M1-209 oil filter were used.
57,860 total car miles on Camry.
8,330 miles on oil.
This was my first fill with Pennzoil Ultra. I had previously used Amsoil SSO, RLI BioSyn 0w-30, Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30, Mobil 1 5w-30, and Valvoline Dino.
Easy to moderate driving on roads in St. Louis, Missouri. The highest RPM this oil might have seen was probably somewhere between 2,600 and 3,200 rpm. I'm not sure I even drove once at 3,200 RPM or above so if I did, it was a rare, rare occurrence.
Probably 80 percent or more was city driving with most trips averaging somewhere around 10, 15, and 20 city miles in length. Some city trips may have been longer, maybe up to about 30 miles. Occasional highway drives but much less frequent than city driving. No stop-and-go city driving.
Highway speeds usually were between 55 mph and 70 mph. On very, very rare occasion 80 mph.
On the actual day of the oil change, in order to get the oil hot just before changing the oil, I drove the car about 50 miles, much of it on the highway.
Although my manual calls for 4 quarts of oil when also changing the Denso OEM oil filter, I have always put in 4.25 quarts with that filter. Right now I'm probably adding a little more than 4.25 quarts because I now use the oversized Mobil 1 filter and I place some oil inside the oil filter itself before attaching the filter to the car (thanks for that tip). I estimate there is about 4.4 or 4.5 quarts of oil in the sump and filter.
This is Toyota's 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine, an inline 4 cylinder.
