[quote=”daneli” post=106620] I’m wondering what you think about their 75,000 mile recommendation for the switch to high mileage oil. Do you agree?[/quote]
Personally, I don’t agree with them for two reasons. (1) I think there is a difference between a Toyota engine at 75k miles and a GM engine (2) highway miles are different from short trips.
However, we use HM oil on our two Camrys….145K and 170K.

Two of my kids have I4 Camrys (97& 99). These are great cars and I highly recommend. Yes, the interiors are cheap plastic but the engines and transmissions are very reliable, parts are cheap and the cars are easy to work on.
We brought the 99 for $2600 this year and have put about a $1000 into it (all round struts, new steering wheel, brake pads, all new fluids, new steering wheel, tie rods and alignments) & resprayed a stone chipped hood. The cars drives superbly and I would drive it across country tomorrow. Unless my daughter has an accident I am sure this will see her through college.
Avalon are great, I just wanted my kids restricted to I4s for a few years.

Being an old guy it was interesting to see yesterdays technology over again. Boy have we come a long way.
Looking forward to future installments and seeing how this pans out. A V8 in that thing is going to be great. And you just cant beat the V8 sound.
