I own a 2005 Camry SE 5 speed manual 4 cyl bought new. Very well maintained w/a 4000 mi oil change interval. Always used
Toyota 5w-30 ( Which I believe is Mobil Special ) and the last
15,000 miles or so have moved up to Mobil Super 5000 5W-30. Car
has always used about 1/3 qt between 4,000 mile changes and now at 90,000 miles runs great. My question is there any reason to start using H.M. oil if not actually experiencing consumption or leaking issues or should I wait for a while longer? Also once the switch is made to H M oil must that be a permanent switch
because of the seal additives? I intend to use Mobil Super H.M.
because I've always liked their products and I know they package
Toyota's oil anyway. I tow a 1,000 lb fishing boat on occasion
(car is rated for 2,000 lbs towing) but have not used synthetic
oil due to my 4,000 drain interval.
Thanks in advance Coastal guy
