Castrol Professional notes that the fuel-specific gap in average mileage widens once more as cars get slightly older. In the 5-6 year bracket, diesel-powered cars travel an average 11,132 miles between two oil changes â 19.4% further than their petrol counterparts, travelling 9,322 miles.
Typically, if you have such an indicator, your car will run somewhere around 7,500 miles between oil changes. Short commutes, lots of traffic, etc. will typically make more frequent changes necessary. That said, changing oil more often just because is pointless. These are manufacturer designed and built indicator systems. They are not lowballing the need for new oil. I checked some dealer sites and they say to change the Camry's oil every 5,000 miles, though some say you can go 10,000 if you use synthetic oil.
