I have a 2013 Camry se 4 cylinder with 17,000 miles. The service department says I need to have the oil changed every year, even though I have only driven about 750 miles this year. Realistically how often do I really need to change it?

    I’d bet that motor oil never had a chance to get hot long enough, to burn off moisture in it’s 750mi life (i.e. driven a good distance on fwy/hwy). If the year is up, I’d definitely change it.

    For a 2013 with only 17k miles…is this motor oil with this mileage age repeated yearly? Driven only on short trips?
