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.

these are so funny.

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.
