If everyone used full synthetic, Toyota would have left the interval at 7500 miles, which is the official interval specified for my Toyota vehicle. I would not recommend going beyond that. If the car is still under warranty, I always recommend following the manufacturer change intervals. If using a conventional oil, I would recommend changing it every 3000 miles.
Would I pay more for a used car if the owner had used a good full synthetic oil from the first or second oil change and changed the oil at least every
7500 miles? Yes I would, and I think a lot of people would also.The engine on my 98 V6 Camry runs as good as new. I was just as skeptical as everyone else at first, but after 9 1/2 years I am convinced. I can afford to buy a new car, but I don't have much of a justification considering the condition of my 98 Camry. I have driven hundreds of new rental cars over the years, and none of them have engines that run better than my 98 Camry.
