Changing your oil more often than recommended is not going to hurt your car. Yes it may cost you a few more dollars per year as you change your oil a bit more often, but this is still cheaper than expensive engine repairs.
I drive a Hyundai i10 1.25, i have owned it since brand new in 2013. I change oil on it every 9000 miles round about 15000 km’s. I have only used Total Quartz 5W30 Ineo MC3 which is a full synthetic oil. My engine runs absolutely perfect, i have 175 000 miles on the clock and i have no oil leaks and never need to top up any oil between service intervals. This is a daily drive and sometimes cover 9500 miles in less than 6 months. I have not replaced the timing chain, or water pump because i am very strict with maintenance on these two things. The notion that an oil change is necessary every 5000 miles just isn’t necessary if you’re using the correct oil for your engine. I have proved it with many other cars I’ve owned. I use the same oil on my Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDi. The car has about 200 000 miles on the clock and still runs perfectly with oil changes every 12500 miles. I use low sulphur Diesel and together with the oil is perfect for keeping my DPF in good condition.
Never Ever go over 5K miles between oil changes { unless you are leasing or getting a new car every two years or so, then F it, let it be someone's problem}
I got 2016 Camry that recommended 5W30 oil and 2023 one recommended 0W16 oil. If I compare both side by side why the older Camry has quiter engine noise than the new one? Is it because of oil viscosity?
The difference in engine noise between the 2016 and 2023 Camry could partially be due to the oil viscosity. The 2016 Camry uses 5W-30 oil, which is thicker at high temperatures, potentially providing better damping of engine noise. On the other hand, the 2023 Camry is designed for 0W-16 oil, which is thinner to improve fuel efficiency and meet modern emissions standards. Thinner oil might not absorb vibrations and noise as effectively. However, other factors like engine design, materials, and soundproofing changes could also contribute to the difference in noise levels. Both oils are suitable for their respective engines, so always stick to the recommended oil for your car to ensure optimal performance
@YourEverydaySolutions fuel efficiency and meet emissions standard? How about durability using thinner oil? I live in a hot tropical island in Indonesia. When I take a long drive with my 2023 Camry on a sunny hot day, the engine ticking noise worsening. Is it safe to have this Camry in a long time? So I prefer use the older Camry to long drive. Engine is so quite and smooth

The proof is in the pudding:
If the wear is down by 2~10x then whatever you're doing must be working.
