my lara v6 SE is at 128,000 miles now, i switched to mobile 1 5w-30 at about 118,000 miles because i was afraid of sludge built up on the 97 to 2001 1mz engines.
i have changed oil twice, and i do see some dark spot on both sides of the front valve cover gasket area. it is not even a minor leak, just some brown oil now dryout by dust, but it is clearly visible, but i already anticipated it will have some sort of leak before i put the mobile 1 in.
