Thank you my brother. In the current crazy used car market, fixing and driving our cars untill the wheels fall off is certainly a smart financial decision!

Hi my brother! This has been a very intriguing topic for me. I spent some time looking at my past oil change receipts last week. I've been changing my oil every 5000 miles since brand new and oil consumption started at 130K miles regardless. For me, the main culprit feels like stop-and-go traffic and the added one hour of idling during lunch hour every single day. I often debate in my mind now if I should have done 3000 mile oil changes from the start to combat this abuse!

@driverman9528 Same here brother! My 2012 Camry has been my bread and butter. She may be boring to drive but she has never let me stranded anywhere in the last 10 years.

@rj.parker Believe it or not. My doctor drives a Lexus ES350 and he said he would drive them untill the wheels fall off.

@JAMESWUERTELE I'll give them a try! Thanks! I tried liquimoly once in the past and it was good for next 2500 miles. Will lookup marvel and BG products.

@wimschoenmakers5463 Sounds awesome! Do hybrids have enough get up and go? I'm usually too late with catching up with tech 🙂. Also how long/miles do the batteries last in hybrids?

@wimschoenmakers5463 Great! How is the electric torque from stop?, is it punchy enough?

@TheCarCareNut Hi brother! I tried liquimoly engine flush once for 15 minutes right before an oil change. It didn't resolve the issue. Is it a good idea to use a flush before every oil change for a good cleaning?

@wimschoenmakers5463 Got it! Toyota for reliability!

@Hopeless_and_Forlorn That's great to know. Thank you for sharing your experience. I always wondered about the power in hybrids. Good to hear this from someone switching from a punchy V6!
