TWELVE THOUSAND MILES?!?!?!?!
And you have the balls to lecture *ME* on 'proper oil changes'?
I am pretty sure the manual indicates something much less than 12,000
miles!!!
And, all the people that came in with sludged Camry and Sienna engines?
Guess how often they changed their oil? Gee, it was 12,000 miles (or
more)! And the manual said 7,500. Luckily for them, Toyota footed the bill
for their negligence.
People who followed the maintenance schedule had minimal (accetable)
sludge levels, and the ones smart enough to change every 3,000 miles had
no build-up at all.
Honda's Owner's Manula for a 2001 Accord says:
Replace Engine Oil Replace every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or 12
months.
