2005 Toyota Camry engine oil and filter change

[@minaharker2664]

Peter, you are the best! I LOVE that body style. I have a 2003 with 189,000 miles and I love her to death. She will be 18 on July 31, and I'm going to put a big hat on it and drive it around the neighborhood to celebrate. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air, as I do as much maintenance as I can by myself. And it's so easy on these cars. I don't even have to jack her up to change my oil. Blessings to you. Thank you for being so great!

This thing is a museum piece. And pinnacle of Toyota reliability. Or maybe second behind '94 Celica.😂

Toyota reliability is better now. 2005 was the bottom. Sludge and stripped head bolts were big issues back then.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

@Brian Fulsom There were married to them after they bought new engines. Toyota learned from their mistakes unlike some other automakers. Oil burning was also an issue with Toyotas from this era. The sludge and oil burning issues were partly on the owner but not the stripped head bolts.

[@amberkitchens4780]

I have a 2005 Camry with 218,000 I love it runs and drives great only replaced the starter after buying the car for 500$

[@johndorrell1]

I too have switched to the Kirkland synthetic oil after watching the Project Farm oil test results. It meets the latest ILSAC and API specs (GF-6 and SP) and It's a great value at $2.50 per quart at my local Costco (or $2.97 for the identical Super Tech version at Walmart). I also take a moment to fill the new filter with oil for vertical filter applications.

[@tonyrice3348]

Project farm! Hes fantastic, I bought a lithium jump starter after watching his channel

[@IKnewMickey]

Bought a 2019 Camry new with the dynamic force 2.5L. First oil change was 1 year and 6500 miles. Now at 11,000 miles and will do another oil change in a few months. 0w16 in case you're wondering. The oil has never been darker Than a weak tea color. Dual injection with electric vvt and a variable volume oil pump. I should also mention a weird (to me) computer controlled duct system for controlling/directing engine coolant to various parts of the engine while warming up.

[@MattExzy]

That's actually an interesting paint colour - I have the same model Camry, and it can show some interesting shades in different light.

[@rightlanehog3151]

I bet there was a bigger range of colours in 2005 than there is now.

[@Joserocha-wm9de]

I watch here many other videos and a lot people saying that it takes 4.2qt and other's saying it takes 4-1/2qt , the manual says 4qt with filter anything more than that will overfill the engine bcs oil expands when hot and adding more oil than its supposed to will just cause more harm to your engine ...

This is an old video but I got my 2005 camry se for 4000 and it only has 45000 miles on it. Old family owned it and literally never used it, imma have a great car for years to come

[@cj1608]

Always feel welcomed! :)

[@LA_Commander]

When you loosen the old oil filter, not only does some oil drip outside, but some oil also drips inside, back into the pan. Therefore, when the oil filter is placed up high like it is here, it's better to replace the oil filter first. Then drain the oil in the pan after that. This way you don't leave any old dirty oil in the pan when you're done.

[@beverlycharles6534]

Good point. Didn't see this til after I finished draining both, but will do it that way next time. I have an old 2006 Toyota w 300k miles and I use The Advanced Synthetic Valvoline oil and top of the line filter. The filter says it protects for 20k miles can I at least go 10kiles before my next change? Also mote I have a small leak, so I check and add 1/2 a qt fresh oil about every couple months.

[@jamram9924]

With that filter in its vertical position, it would be a good practice to fill it with oil through the center threaded hole prior to installation. Engine oil pressure build up much faster.

[@njsongwriter]

Much faster...? (Maybe a couple seconds.)

[@jamram9924]

@@njsongwriter: Faster means the engine oil system becomes pressurized and not having to wait for the engine oil to run through the filter FIRST after it leaves the engine oil pump (metal to metal without proper lubrication).

@@LAactor It's just good oil, lookup the tests on youtube. I would still stick to a 5k OCI regardless

[@kenkadlec1768]

If the oil filter is in that orientation, it helps to fill up the filter with oil prior to installing. I also lubricate the filter threads along with the gasket. And prior to measuring the oil level, it is important to start the engine and let it run for a minute to verify there is oil pressure and no leaks. Then shut off the engine and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then measure the oil level now that the filter should be full of oil.

Why hide the Kirkland oil label? It's made by Warren Distribution, got a good package of additives and is a great price. On the other hand, OEM or Denso filters exclusively for my Toyotas.

[@frankg6578]

Because that car came out of the factory with conventional oil. That's the big debate, will synthetic oil cause seals to leak? Is it worth the risk on a creampuff like that if it's always been filled with conventional oil?

@@frankg6578 The Project Farm channel, along with a myriad of others have addressed and dispelled that myth.

[@marcelpatel9017]

The 2007-2011 models have small piston rings, which resulted in oil burning. 2002-2006 were fine.

Other than year, Pete, how can one tell the difference between a a 2AZ-FE as we have here and a 2AR-FE in other years? Without measuring the bores of the pistons and such of course, just visual and without knowing year?

[@elihernandez330]

Even at only 116k id switch it to an extremely good a3/b4 rated 40 weight like castrol 0w-40 which is such a thin 40 weight its almost a heavy 30. My uncle in spain has a 2011 and the owners manual states 0w-20 all the way to 20w-50. He just bought a 2021 toyota yaris hybrid and the owners manual states 0w-8/16/20, 5w-20, and 5w-30. It's amazing what not having ridiculous epa restrictions does, and oem denso/toyota filters arent really that great. The fram ultra has an insane filtering efficiency at 10 and 5 microns. 94 percent at 10 and 81 percent at 5 if im not mistaken. Clean ass oil in independent tests so thats what i use in everything. The less micro metals spinning around or stroking on your contact areas the less scuffing or sand paper effect on the metals so less wear.

My ‘02 Camry has the 2AZ-FE engine, and has made it 303K miles without major work. It does use oil now-a quart every 1200 miles-and has done so for the last 75K miles, but oil is cheap, and even Toyotas must suffer some piston, valve guide, and/or stem seal wear in that many miles. Mechanics’ advice: Add oil, and keep on driving. No issues yet with catalytic converter fouling.
