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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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 brought my vehicle to an auto repair a few months back. It’s a 2017 Honda odyssey with 200k miles that I took in for an engine misfire and transmission grind and shudder. I was given the awful news that I’m better off replacing the engine and the transmission. He added that the engine oil hasn’t been changed for over 6k miles and that was the direct result of my engine problem. He told me to stop changing the oil completely, That it’s so worn that the sludge is actually what’s keeping my engine’s intact. Fast forward 2 months later, It’s now 20k miles overdue with a continuous misfire. It has poor acceleration as even the slightest over rev will cause the transmission to get stuck in gear and shudder hard. I haven’t thought much of getting a second opinion because I’m always out of money and diagnostics are expensive, It’s too much of a gamble!😕
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!

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 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

@@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

any particular name on that part?

Do you really think it was 30,000 over due?
Great job man! The engine thanks you! Did you start it up and then recheck the level?
GOOD! Grandson! I have the same relationship with my G-sons. But, I am not going 30,000 for a new O-C.
Have Grandpa buy you some disposable latex gloves!
I doubt that it has more than 20k on that oil
Change the oil hot so the sludge will drain out
I dont think that Oil is 10yrs and 30k kms old.

Oil went from a 5w-30 to 5w-50 💀
45w50😂
The rust is more cause for concern
Wow I’m surprised that thing still ran
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.

You were given awful advice and that now destroyed your car engine repair. It was nothing to do with 6k oil changes lol
Dang half a decade on the same oil.
you must live in the rust belt
Hoovie? Is that you???
It could handle it lol
I guess the additives in that oil are gone😂
That's 46k
later he found evidence for 85000...
Dump in some diesel fuel and let it run for15 min and drain again. It will clean up the engine.
Don't think that oil went for 30000 miles. Maybe 15000
Nothing wrong with that oil. Quit being dramatic
Won't want that car
Not 30k oil dude
Use gloves buddy
