Scotty I followed your advice...I got a 2001 Toyota Camry Le I purchased 4 months ago from the original owner that was garage kept (grandpa driven) with 144,000 miles for $2000. It ran rough in the beginning and kept shutting off at the stoplight. So I had to invest a little money into it! I put a new battery,alternator, egr valve, radiator, thermostat, crankshaft sensor, spark plugs and wires. Cleaned out all the carbon on the throttle body and used Gumout tune up in a can. It runs like a dream now!!! But I really wanna keep this Toyota running like a clock. Right now I’m running a synthetic blend of valvoline maxlife no leaks...should I switch to a high milage full synthetic? Will this cause any leaks? And do you have any advice getting another 100,000 miles on this Camry?
No, stick with the blend, and change you PCV valve.
Synthetic blend is just fine for that car. Treat it right and it will run practically forever. Don't forget to change your other fluids (transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid) at regular intervals as well.
