Replying to: imidazol97 (Aug 22, 2009 5:48 am) I stand by what I said about Blake also -- I think she's claimed every car she has ever owned to be a lemon, and she's owned different makes. Talk about a gadfly! |

Replying to: djm2 (Aug 22, 2009 5:48 am) Since Toyota doesn't recommend any additives for the oil (and modern oil doesn't need any additives, that's just something for the dealer to make money on), it would be interesting to know how that might affect your warranty. Fyi, the oil on my dipstick looks clean after 5000 miles. I think you are just wasting your money with 2500 mile oil change intervals especially since you bought the extended warranty. |

Replying to: lmacmil (Aug 22, 2009 2:46 pm) I just returned from an 800+ mile sales trip. The Camry was outstanding on the highway. I averaged 30+mpg on 87 octane fuel. A NOTE ABOUT THE BG ADDITIVE: My selling dealer recommends this oil additive because it prevents thicking of the engine oil under "high temperature driving conditions!" (This sound like "sludge prevention" to me!!!!!!!!!!!) ---- Most of my driving is highway driving at high speeds, except when I get into cities, where as we all know it is bumper to bumper! ---- During this last trip in New York State, I was cruising at 70 mph, and I did this for seven hours one way! The only time I stopped was for fuel & food. I had a chance to hit the casino on route 17E. Yes, the food was great! I think we are going to see "sludge issues" hitting the Toyota engines event though the oil change intervals have been lowered to 5,000 miles. Only time will tell! Best regards. Dwayne
