not sure how significant those stats are relative to the real engine longevity. While it is a different engine, my friend changed oil (dino) every 15-16k on his Camry and have no oil related engine issues at over 250k miles.

And I believe it. But do a compression test and dyno it. This is why motors lose power over time. I bet it's no where near stock.

I am sure there were tests done by the independent labs in a control environment. I would really like to see the results myself.

I'm intetested in that engine compression test that one day I want to take it.

1) I saw a youtube about how to do the self engine compression test, but I don't think I can do that. Where can I get the test then?

2) How much usually it costs?, I mean the compression test.

3) Sometimes I feel like it showes a bit slower response on my full-acceleration than before. Do you think the test result can answer to that feeling? Even now I'm not sure whether it really goes slower or just it's by my subjective.

That's a Toyota. That's made by people who know how to build cars. They fix themselves

So this quickly devolved into our 10001st oil thread as expected.

Regarding diff types of oil synth vs Dino. If here talking about a dd car, even the z, IMO it doesn't matter and as long as you change the oil at regular intervals, you should be able to get 250k miles no problem assuming no manufacturing defects.

If you track, then that's when oil types, diff weights of oil etc start to matter IMO.
