12K internals That was 3 oil changes in year on down road driving which puts around 80 to 90% or less wear on engine so, your Toyota actually had less than 100K wear on engine. Probably closer to 60K with oil change internals. Extreme conditions like start and go, stop and go driving, pulling heavy loads, or extreme dusty conditions like in desert states require different oil change internals. Not me saying this it’s the industry.
