This video shows the current oil consumption for 2013 Camry SE (2AR-FE) and 2006 Lexus GS300 (3GF-FSE) engine cars, and why I’ve started doing 5,000 mile oil change on all my cars instead of 10,000 miles to prevent carbon and oil sludge build-up on piston’s oil ring.

You put 0W-20 in the GS300? Doesn't it call for 5W-30?
I used to use regular oil and change all my cars every 3k-5k miles, my most recent '11GS I got synthetic in there while I got a CV joint replaced at the shop (was slightly cracked when I bought the car). I'm probably gonna get next oil change 5k-7k miles. I was wondering, it's completely ok to go back to regular after using synthetic right? (the price sometimes can be quite a bit to gulp)
I was wondering if you could make a video on gas mileage: on my 101k miles '11 GS350 AWD I barely gets 18mpg highway. It hasn't gotten any big servicing since it reached 100k (talking about trans drain & fill, & differential drain). Researching a little bit told me get get my spark plugs & Ignition coils replaced, I kinda got scared after seeing how much those ignition coils go for, plus I don't own a torque wrench.
Thanks for your input & love a simple, easy to follow video as always.
