The resource of the power plant directly depends on the quality of the oil being poured and the intervals for its replacement. Toyota Camry 40. Even the most gentle driving mode will not save the engine from excessive wear if the rubbing surfaces work without sufficient lubrication.
Therefore, during the operation of the machine, it is important to monitor the oil level, observe the change intervals and use only well-proven products for filling.
Toyota branded oil review
Toyota Motor Corporation produces a line of motor oils for its cars. They differ in price, viscosity, base, amount of additives and their properties.
One of the most suitable for Camry 40 is synthetic oil Toyota 08880-10705. This lubricant is used all year round. It has good antioxidant and detergent properties. The oil showed itself perfectly when operating at low temperatures. It perfectly performs the functions assigned to it, regardless of external factors. This oil is most suitable for Camry with a 3.5-liter engine.
Motorists involved in forcing their cars also speak charmingly of Toyota 08880-10705. It perfectly lubricates rubbing surfaces in engines experiencing excessive loads.
Semi-synthetic oil from Toyota Motor Corporation has a lower cost, but is not much inferior in its characteristics to a synthetic-based lubricant. It is also all season. Car owners note that the use Toyota oils 08880-10605 is most optimal in 2.4 liter engines.
Oil with a low viscosity is more suitable for cars with low mileage. Car owners note that on the Camry 40, whose odometer shows more than 150 thousand kilometers, the Toyota 08880-10505 bay leads to a large oil tank. In general, the oil is good and fully performs the functions assigned to it.
In the case of engines with solid mileage, it is recommended to use mineral oil. Toyota 08880-10805 performs well only on engines that are to be overhauled in the near future. Otherwise, car owners do not recommend using it, because:
- oil consumption increases;
- the engine starts more difficult, especially in the cold season;
- the relubrication interval must be halved.
Synthetic oil Toyota "Engine Oil 5W-40" is focused on use in Europeans. His bay in American and Arab women will not end in anything bad, but the expense can be significant.
Toyota "Engine Oil 5W-40"
Toyota "Engine Oil" synthetic oil, shown in the photo below, was developed, unlike the previous oil, primarily for cars manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation. It has fewer certificates, so the price is not lower. The performance properties of Toyota "Engine Oil" are at a fairly high level
Toyota "Engine Oil"
Price per original oil Toyota Motor Corporation starts from 1600 rubles for 5 liters of mineral water, from 1800 for 5 liters of semi-synthetics and from 2500 rubles for a similar canister of synthetics.
Engine oil Camry 40 from other manufacturers
Reviews about branded oil Toyota Motor Corporation is quite controversial. Some car owners use only the recommended oil, but there are drivers who believe that there is a better lubricant. Toyota does not prohibit the use of third party fluids.
According to the reviews of motorists, a table has been compiled the best analogues native oil. A selection of lubricants takes into account not only manufacturers, but also the year of manufacture, as well as other operational parameters.
The cost of oil from the above companies ranges from 1000 to 3000 rubles per five-liter canister.
Oil change schedule
- for mineral - every 5 thousand kilometers;
- for semi-synthetics and synthetics - 10 thousand km.
If the car has not covered this distance in two years, it is necessary to change the lubricant regardless of the mileage.
According to the recommendations of car owners, oil changes should be halved. This is especially true for cars that are often in urban traffic jams or off-road. A sporty driving style also requires more frequent maintenance.
In some cases, for example, after overheating or water ingress into the lubricant, the oil needs to be changed ahead of time. To diagnose the condition of the lubricant, it is recommended to drop the oil on a napkin. By the shape of the blurred spot, you can determine its condition.
Determining the condition of the oil on a stain on a napkin
When diagnosing the condition of an oil, there are four control zones to consider, as shown in the image below.
Refueling volumes of Toyota Camry 40 are shown in the table below.
The manufacturer allows oil consumption up to 1 liter per 1000 kilometers. Most car owners do not think that this tolerance is too high and the engine should be repaired if a 2.4-liter engine consumes more than 200 grams of oil per 100 km, and a 3.5-liter unit consumes more than 350 grams for a similar distance.
Do-it-yourself oil change process for Camry 40
Engine oil is changed according to the instructions below:
- Remove crankcase protection.
- unscrew drain plug. Old grease poured into the internal combustion engine will pour out of the hole.
- Wait until the oil drains.
- Replace filter.
- Screw in the drain plug.
- Pour fresh oil into the engine.
- Start the motor. A signal that the oil pressure is below normal should not be after a couple of minutes of operation power unit.
- Check its level. The oil must be within the tolerances between the top and bottom marks on the dipstick.
Automobile manufacturers pay great attention to consumables; in the operating instructions they indicate all the necessary lubrication parameters. Motorists, when choosing oils for summer or winter, must take into account the requirements of car manufacturers, otherwise the engine can quickly fail. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the parameters of the recommended engine oil for Toyota Camry.

Conclusion
Applying the recommended motor oil for Toyota Camry, you can increase the life of the engine and lubrication system. The fact is that the lubricant creates a protective film on the surface of the internal elements of the motor, the properties of which depend on the quality parameters of the lubricant. The thicker the oil, the thicker the protective film will be, such oils should be used for the summer, more liquid lubricants are used in the winter, they provide a cold start of the engine. When using an oil that does not match the parameters, the film may break, the engine will start to run “dry” - this will lead to its breakdown.
When changing lubricant, please note:
- the manual indicates the reference volume of oil that will be needed when changing the lubricant, in real conditions it may differ slightly;
- overfilling the oil above the maximum mark on the dipstick is unacceptable, therefore, after adding lubricant, it is necessary to check the level of the lubricant.

Recommended engine oil for Toyota Avensis
The new generation of Toyota's super popular car debuted in 2011. The eighth international generation Camry outwardly radically differed from the previous one while maintaining the same dimensions. The novelty received an enlarged interior and a large windshield, which significantly increased the visibility when driving. Mass production XV50 lasted until 2014, after which the car was restyled.
If earlier official deliveries to the Russian Federation did not provide for a wide variety of trim levels, then with the new generation everything changed and the Lux, Prestige, Elegance, Classic and Standard versions were now presented to the buyer's choice. At the same time, even the most "modest" Standard had a full range of options, sufficient for the absolute comfort of the driver and passengers.
As for the engine line, three types settled under the hood of the 50th Camry power plants: 2.0 liters in the Classic and Standard trim levels with a capacity of 145 hp, 2.5 liters for the Comfort version and above (180 and 200 hp), as well as 3.5 liters for the most expensive trim levels (249 hp). Russian imports included a 249-horsepower version of the 3.5-liter engine, although in Europe the same engine had 272 hp. The unit was deformed so that the model could compete with the leaders Russian market by transferring the car to a lower tax category. The average combined fuel consumption on the previously listed installations was 7.8 (engine 2.0), 9.8 (engine 2.5) and 10.6 (engine 3.5) liters per 100 km. Information about the types of oil to be filled in and its consumption is indicated below.
Despite its merits, Camry 50 had one impressive, but "strange" minus: the model occupies a leading position in the list of the most stolen cars. This fact is explained by the perfect balance between price and quality and, perhaps, too rich stuffing.

Engine oil internal combustion- This is an important component of the power unit. Without lubricant, the engine will run for less than a minute. This indicates that the timing of the oil change in the power unit should not be ignored.
When is an oil change required?
The engine oil change schedule is from 10 to 15 thousand kilometers. But taking into account the fact that vehicle operated in Russia, the replacement period is reduced by about 30% and is 8-10 thousand kilometers.
Is there noise in the power unit? The oil will need to be replaced ahead of time. It is necessary to get the dipstick and check the car oil. The composition of the liquid should not contain contaminants in the form of metal chips. Spent oily liquid should not be black. If this is not the case, the oil change in the Toyota Camry engine must be carried out urgently.
What oil to choose?
Many are wondering what kind of oil to fill in a Toyota Camry engine. Lubricant selection is based on API tolerance parameters and SAE viscosity parameters. It is recommended to pour car oil created Japanese manufacturer. There are analogues on the market that are in no way inferior and even superior to the original oil. Therefore, when choosing a lubricant, you should focus on:
- Name of a well-known manufacturer;
- Oil type;
- Viscosity parameters.
Toyota Camry uses synthetic oil. base parameter viscosities: 0W30 and 5W30. If the vehicle has a mileage of over 100,000 km, it is recommended to pour oil with a viscosity of 5W30. A vehicle with less than 100,000 km of mileage? The best option lubricant: 0W30.
Popular brands of oils:
- Lukoil;
- Mobil1;
- Ravenol;
- total;
- G-Energy and others.
Each of the manufacturers listed above adds its own additives, so mixing them is not recommended. If the car owner plans to change the brand of lubricant, it is recommended to flush the power unit system before replacing.
Stages of changing the oil in the Toyota Camry V50 engine
Before starting the replacement procedure, it is recommended to prepare for it. Wear special clothing and gloves. This will protect against possible burns from the oil. Note: when replacing the oil in the engine, the second one warms up to operating temperatures. This is necessary to ensure maximum fluidity when draining oil from the power unit.
Required tools:
- A set of keys (hex and wrenches);
- Screwdriver;
- Pliers;
- fresh oil;
- Oil filter;
- Oil filter puller;
- Clean rags;
- Special clothing and gloves;
- Washer for drain plug.
Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil in a Toyota Camry engine:
The process of changing the engine oil on a Toyota Camry is completed.
Changing the oil in the engine of different models of Toyota Camry
Changing the engine oil on other Toyota Camry models is about the same:
- Warm up the engine.
- Unscrew the drain plug and drain the oil.
- Screw the plug, fill in the flushing liquid.
- Let the engine run for a few minutes, then drain the fluid from the system again.
- Change filter.
- Fill with fresh lubricant.
- Drive 10-15 km, return again and check the oil level. Top up if necessary.
The similarities of the replacement are obvious. Features and differences in the Camry V30, Camry 40 and V50 engine are the location of the drain and filler holes, the amount of lubricant used, its choice, and so on.
Replacement frequency
The engine oil on a Toyota Camry needs to be changed every 8-10 thousand kilometers. If the vehicle is operated in more severe conditions (for example, in a metropolis), this should be done more often. Intensive operation also means an accelerated oil change in Toyota Camry 2.5 or other models.
Consequences of late replacement:
- Rotation of connecting rod bearings;
- Wear of turbocharger parts;
- Engine wear.
This leads to possible breakdowns car. At untimely replacement wear of internal moving parts is colossal. The service life of the power unit without overhaul is significantly reduced.
A similar situation occurs with oil starvation of the vehicle, when, as a result of an insufficient amount of oil, the oil film breaks, contact with metal occurs, the temperature of the internal system rises and the parts themselves are destroyed. To prevent this, every few thousand kilometers it is necessary to check the oil level and its condition. In the presence of metal particles, it is urgent to change the engine oil for a Toyota Camry.
maintenance schedule for new Toyota Camry recommends monitoring the level and quality of the oil in the box at least once every 2 years or after 40 thousand km. It is replaced with fresh one in case of severe pollution, the appearance of a burning smell or a mileage of 160 thousand km. If you often drive at a speed of more than 80% of the “maximum speed” or with a full load, the quality and level of fluid in the automatic transmission must be monitored after 40 thousand km, and after 80 thousand km or 4 years of operation, the oil and filter of the Toyota Camry automatic transmission must be changed .
Simultaneously with the replacement of the contents of the automatic transmission, a new filter is installed, since the old one can no longer fully perform its function and will only pollute the inside of the box. To access the filter, the automatic transmission oil pan is removed.
How to change the oil correctly
There are 2 ways:
Full oil change in automatic transmission Toyota Camry. A special apparatus is used, which is connected to the gap between the box and its cooling radiator. Old oil is drained through one pipe, and the same amount of fresh oil is supplied through the other. The process is considered complete when the color of the liquid at the inlet and outlet of the apparatus becomes the same.
Then a diagnostic scanner is connected, which controls the temperature of the automatic transmission, and when it reaches 50С, it is set required level liquids. This completes the replacement.
The disadvantage of this method is high flow oil (12-17 liters).
A partial oil change in a Toyota Camry automatic transmission (replacement) is performed with the engine turned off by draining the contaminated oil and filling in an equal amount of clean oil. With this method, it is possible to update from 35% to 50% of the total volume of liquid in the box.
In this case, the consumption will be 3-4 liters.
We recommend using method No. 1 (complete oil change in Toyota Camry automatic transmission), but at the request of the client, we can use method No. 2. Failure to do this work is guaranteed to lead to a costly repair of the Toyota Camry automatic transmission.
What oil to use
The Toyota Camry Driver's Manual states that the automatic transmission must use the original Toyota Genuine ATF WS product. The manufacturer does not allow the use of analogues.
Please note that there are several types of Toyota WS oil that meet different motors and year of manufacture of the vehicle. For the new Camry, an oil is used that thickens less at low temperatures and does not lose its characteristics when heated to 130 ° C. Its code is indicated on the package: 08886-80807 (1 liter jar), 08886-02305 (4 liter can) and 08886-80803 (20 liter barrel).
Is it possible to change the automatic transmission oil yourself
Toyota Camry automatic transmission is a complex and expensive mechanism. Therefore, its maintenance requires the use of special equipment. In this case, this is a lift, a diagnostic scanner and a replacement device.
We do not advise you to replace the mals in the Toyota Camry 2.4, 3.5 (V40, V50) automatic transmission on your own. Deviations from the recommended amount of fluid filled will cause jerking and jerking when driving, fuzzy gear shifting. And even a short-term operation of the box “dry” will disable it.
Do not risk in vain, come to our Toyota car service network for an oil change. We employ only professionals, and all workplaces are equipped with modern equipment, which is necessary for high-quality repair of Toyota Camry. We will select the necessary consumables for your machine and replace them in full accordance with the factory technology.
