We had a customer once who came in with his new Rav4, with about 38,000 miles on it, not running. They put it in the air and tried to drain the oil and nothing came out. So they dropped the oil pan. They had to scoop the oil out, because it had become a super thick pudding. We put it in a cut off gal jug and stood pencil up in it. The pencil stood up for about 6 months. The customer insisted that he changed the oil a couple times. It still had the oil filter with the orange o-ring on it. LoL. Denied warranty.
Once had a doctor who swore he'd never buy another Toyota after is Celica engine blew up. He we about 70,000 miles without changing the oil, amazingly. People don't realize this is the key to longevity.
