Hey Guys, Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the format as Hiro said it’s an iPhone picture. I’ve done a full oil drain and replaced my oil with 10w-40 and a new oil filter. I will now monitor the change in oil and report back. Thanks for the advise. cheers

Hi Ian, yes it was checked when the engine was cold.

Thanks a bunch Ashley, makes sense. I will go ahead with the oil change. Cheers

Hi Mate, thank you for your response, I shall watch it. I will be doing a service today for my car and my mechanic recommended to use the 10w40 oil. Is it better than 5w40 or does it not matter? Also, from the pictures, do you reckon the engine is burning oil? Cheers.

Hi Everyone, I have recently bought a used 2004 Toyota Camry Altise with 180,000 miles on it. Mechanically sound and no oil leaks at all. I have recently completed a 600 km journey today and have noted down my before and after oil level on my dipstick. Due to bad experience in the past with other vehicles concerning oil, i have some questions. I have attached two pictures of my before and after journey oil level in my dipstick. There has been some oil consumption, my question is if this level of oil consumption normal or if there is any problem with it? Journey details: Majorly 110 kmph on cruise model No oil leaks No blue tint smoke No oil burn smell Any advise/opinions is highly appreciated! Cheers. After Journey.HEIC Before Journey.HEIC
