That is very clean oil for 30k. Changed out oil after 30k miles on relative’s 1993 camry and that had a layer of sediment on the bottom of the oil pain. I just used the cheapest wally world oil available and did another change after 500 miles to get most of the rest of the gunk out. Car still runs now but barely passes smog.
A guy at work didn’t change his oil in his 2009 Ford Focus diesel for 60,000 miles and somehow it was still working. Sounds a bit tappy now and the oil was still liquid !
I once went 50k on mine but then got rid of it. I did add oil from time to time keeping it at the full mark. It was a beater though and the dealer only gave me 750 for it when I traded it in.
You can run a cleaner through the engine to get the Sludge out and open the oil passages to the top end. I did it on a 2016 kia sorento that went 20k over due and it was turbo put fresh oil in and the cleaner ran it for 30 mins at idle and when i dropped the drain bolt she was about that dark that came out but after that she ran alot better and turbo seemed to spool faster and stop burning oil.
That can work, but it can also clog the tiny oil passages inside the turbo and kill it completely. Aspirated engines, it's fine, wouldn't do it with a turbo. Just do 3-4 2-3k mile oil changes and the additives in the oil slowly clean the sludge themselves with less risk.
Oh, FYI, there is a special funnel made just for Toyotas that screws into the oil fill hole. Because you can't stick a regular funnel in there due to a design flaw on those engines. I think I got mine for like $5 or something but it makes changing the oil a breeze on any Toyota. Not that your grandfather is actually concerned about that though LOL
@@mikem.2078 Google "Toyota oil funnel" or something like that and you will see several brands, most look alike with blue top and clear bottom tube. They are very common and make oil changes with Toyota easier.
Yeah, I also thought so. The oil doesn't look so bad for a 30k and I've seen a lot worse. They must've not updated the oil mileage sticker prior to this.
I think I'd change it again after about 500 miles.
Especially since you used full synthetic. I wouldn't recommend switching to synthetic at that mileage but fresh anything is better than what it had!
thats a shame, these are great cars, should be maintained
I wouldn't get that crap on your hands dude, wear gloves.

This oil may have less than 30k... sometimes you just forget to change the sticker and the fiilter.
Might be that it burns enough oil to make it a rolling oil change.
02 camry was the pinnacle of reliable internal combustion engines.
No it wasn't.
I love Toyotas but this engine had severe oil burning issues.
These engines were not without their problems
Great job man! The engine thanks you! Did you start it up and then recheck the level?

Do you really think it was 30,000 over due?

@@em4703 yeah agree but i have found some turbos to burn up from oil flow so figured it wasnt going to hurt it as bad
Have Grandpa buy you some disposable latex gloves!

any particular name on that part?

Wow I’m surprised that thing still ran
I doubt that it has more than 20k on that oil
Dang half a decade on the same oil.
Oil went from a 5w-30 to 5w-50 💀
45w50😂
Change the oil hot so the sludge will drain out
Is the car still working and is your grandpa also ok?
Car still runs and grandpa is doing good. 👍
It could handle it lol
That would be 48K miles not 30 and there’s no way that oil is that old they just forgot to remove the sticker.
At 3:38 the mount is in really bad shape!
yeah, that sub frame is rusted out
@@BenState Time for granpa to buy a new car.
I dont think that Oil is 10yrs and 30k kms old.

Hoovie? Is that you???
GOOD! Grandson! I have the same relationship with my G-sons. But, I am not going 30,000 for a new O-C.
Great cars but known oil burners.
glenbo2464…this extended oil change may make it consume oil even more! 😮
Any lesser car would probably be in the crapper by now.
I guess the additives in that oil are gone😂
The rust is more cause for concern
Don't think that oil went for 30000 miles. Maybe 15000
That's 46k
later he found evidence for 85000...
Won't want that car
Not 30k oil dude
Use gloves buddy
