That would be a correct assumption, but we all know Toyota's engines don't actually wear. They are just thrown away after one too many accidents with the DVDO they experience.

On the subject I'm about to hit 10k on 0w-16 while towing a 1000lb quite a bit. How much y'all wanna see the results?

Also the car has 150k
