2005 Lexus ES330 (made in japan)
Mileage: 200,000 and change
Seems to have been well cared for.
You always advise not to switch between synthetic and regular oil. Is there a way to find out which the previous owner used?
Thanks,
Mad Brad

You would need to send a sample of the oil to a lab for testing. Check with Hertz or Avis to see who they use. They check the oil in their rental cars frequently. When the lab reports a certain amount of metal particles in the oil, they sell the cars to unsuspecting consumers.

No, you can't.
If the engine runs well, doesn't leak, doesn't burn oil then I wouldn't worry about it
