Replying to: lmacmil (Aug 22, 2009 2:46 pm) Good Morning (Imacmil):          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 Replies to this message: 210delray (Aug 27, 2009 4:45 am) djm2 (Aug 27, 2009 4:53 pm)

Replying to: djm2 (Aug 27, 2009 3:45 am) BG additive = extra profit for the dealer. The owner's manual says no additives are needed. Who knows more about your car than the people who built it?   Running your car at highway speeds for extended periods is easier on your engine than other modes. I know I can't convince you, but IMO 2500-mile oil changes are overkill in your case. Replies to this message: djm2 (Aug 27, 2009 4:53 pm)
