I have a 2005 Toyota Camry and I just put in the following into it. Oil - Royal Purple 51530 API-Licensed SAE 5W-30 High Performance Synthetic Motor Oil - 5 qt. [image] Amazon.com: Royal Purple 51530 API-Licensed SAE 5W-30 High Performance Synthetic... Buy Royal Purple 51530 API-License…

You know that the Camry of that vintage was known for oil-related problems with both engines right? The 2.4L ( 2AZ-FE) was known to burn oil due to faulty piston rings and the V6 ( 1MZ-FE) was known for engine producing prodigious amount of sludge, and more frequent oil changes are recommended in o…

A colleague had a 2001 Camry with the 1MZ-FE V6 . . . definitely part of the sludge years, as far as I know . . . and he used synthetic oil and changed it every 3K He never had the sludge problem

Cars that have 10k mile or longer oil change intervals generally (maybe exclusively, I don’t know) have synthetic oil as the recommended oil. Like my 2013 highlander. Oil spec is 0w20, which is only available in synthetic, and the recommended interval is 10k. So…this would lead me to believe that y…

Scrapyard_John: Oil spec is 0w20, which is only available in synthetic I 95% agree with you I can’t agree 100% because Honda markets a 0W-20 synthetic blend . . . or at least they used to Scrapyard_John: So…this would lead me to believe that you’d be fine changing the oil in that 2005…

I’d partial quote you back, but I don’t know how on this I phone. When I say “you’d be fine”, I meant the owner. Not sure on which engine. I was thinking the newer series, but I really don’t know. We had a 99 4 cyl Camry and didn’t have any problems until 208k miles, but we didn’t use a long oil c…

The latest classification for motor oil is SP Tester

Thanks. I still remember when SE was as good as it got.

To the original poster’s point, and what I was trying to get at, I believe the only real benefit to using synthetic is to extend the oil change interval (barring racing or extreme duty). Whether you’re comfortable or not extending the interval (I’m not) is another story. Like Mustangman mentioned, y…

Right is it seems that I would benefit from synthetic because it gets in the single digits during the winter time where I live. And per the article, the different type of oil is negligible. Some might prevent less wear, but the difference is insignificant. Just follow the manufacturers instructions …

Theoretically, if you use the cheapest oil that meets the API grade specified by the manufacturer (usually SN) at the viscosity specified by the manufacturer, you will gain no benefit from using a more expensive product. You can verify this by googling “Blackstone Oil Analysis” and having them analyze your used oil.
