anyway, the VVTi engines i think are very prone to sludging. Honda oil changes are still at 10,000km, while Toyotas are at 5,000km.

Not true Toyota calls for 8000km oil changes in Canada and after 2016 most models call for 16000km oil changes.

sorry i meant here in the manila, and for regular oil. This is (relatively) a very polluted city, so mineral/regular oil when changed at more than 5-7k km tend to show sludges. synthetic oils are changed at 10000km, with a little topup as necessary.

On the opposite side of the sludge spectrum I recently ran across an 08 Yaris with 108K km at a local junkyard that had been in an front end collision. Somebody had already taken the valve cover off and I was very impressed how clean the engine was inside. Usually even in a well maintained engine there is some yellowing of the cast parts from blowby getting pushing up to the top of the engine but that engine looked like it could of rolled of the factory floor a couple months earlier.
