Toyota Camry 2018-2023 2.5 L Oil Change

[@AutoTechOCD]

Remember to lubricate the oil filter (rubber) gasket. I did forget to film that part when I did the oil change...

[@donniev8181]

Hey, just so you know, Mobil may provide Toyota oil but they're not the same. Toyota OEM oil has specific additives set by Toyota engineers that help reduce wear. Just one instance, Toyota oil has nearly twice as many dry lubrication additives than Mobil 1 oil. There's a great lab analysis video here on KZbin that shows the difference between Toyota OEM, Mobil, Amsoil and Penzoil. If I can remember, I'll come back and link it.

[@AutoTechOCD]

That would be interesting to watch. Thanks for the comment!!@@donniev8181

[@donniev8181]

@@AutoTechOCD just search Toyota OEM oil lab analysis, the guy has a bit of a accent.

[@AutoTechOCD]

I found it. It was a very informative analysis. I do agree that it would be ideal to put in the Toyota OEM 0W-16. Thanks for the recommending the video.@@donniev8181

[@donniev8181]

@@AutoTechOCD yeah Toyota engineers put nearly twice as much Molybdenum in their oil.

Thank you ! This oil change video for camry helped me a lot and I got encouraged by watching it over and over again! I bought all the tools and wrenches and oil, washer, oil filter, jack lift, jack stand altogether! Finally I tried my first self oil change and it’s well done! Thank you once again for recording this video and I appreciate sharing your know-hows!

[@AutoTechOCD]

I'm glad I could help! Thanks for the awesome comment.😃

My daughter just got a 22 Camry and paid for a service plan. She went to get the oil changed at 5000 miles and the dealer said they only change at 10000 miles. So looks like I’ll be doing hers at 5000 and dealership will do every other change. Ridiculous that they say 10000 even it’s well known the damage it causes long term. Anyway good video looks super easy to do an oil change on this engine.

[@AutoTechOCD]

I'm glad I could help! The Toyota Camry is an awesome car. Thanks for the comment!

[@LarryB-inFL]

No, it is NOT "well known" that it causes damage to go 10K. Do what YOU want, but don't presume to know more than the manufacturer.

[@gdj8013]

It is wel known amongst mechanics just do a little research

[@JB11335]

I cut it down the middle 7500 with tire rotation.

[@eso1666]

When the damage happens it will after 50k miles and the dealer would then tell you the car is out of warranty 😂. Do yourself a favor and replace the synthetic oil every 5k miles and the very first oil change do it at 1k miles to wash any factory debris. Good luck!

[@BroBob1254]

Great Video! I always start the engine after the Oil and Filter change, and check for leaks at The Drain Plug and the Oil Filter. I run The Engine for a minute, shut it down and let it sit for a few minutes before checking The Oil Level.

[@AutoTechOCD]

Great tip! Thank you for the comment..👍

[@ronchew391]

That was really helpful & well done. I like all the little details. Thx u.

[@AutoTechOCD]

[@dfields9511]

@5:53 always make sure the gasket did not stick to the block. I have done that once, but in the end it was ok. just had to remove the oil filter and put back in 3 of the 4 qts of oil it held. great vid on how this is done on camry. I am not use to having to remove the bottom plate to get to things.

[@AutoTechOCD]

Thank you for the great comment!!

[@williamwaters4506]

Nice, clear video. I would just remind viewers if you use the recommended 0w-16 oil, which is good for 10,000 oil, use a 10,000 oil filter and not a 5,000 oil filter.

[@AutoTechOCD]

I definitely agree. Thank you for the comment!😃

You forgot to lubricant the rubber gasket from filter

You're right. I did lubricate the oil filter (rubber) gasket. I just forgot to film that part. Thanks for the comment.

[@william6765]

When the dealer puts 4.8 quartz into my A25A FXS engine it is overfilled. I learned that 4.5 to 4.6 Quarts get into right to the top oil level on dipstick. I believe this engine is the same as the A25A FKS

[@AutoTechOCD]

Thanks for the comment!

[@geo780]

It wont hurt anything! For overfilling to be an issue you need to over a quart of oil.

[@tomdurkins]

Doesn’t matter

[@randomyt13]

@@geo780wrong. I have a 2.5 i4 Camry and it’s 4.8 quarts and I put the whole 5 quart bottle and my car would crank but not start after the oil change I removed some oil and the engine started. That’s just me but maybe yours works with all 5.

You might find that pouring oil (or any liquid) from a "square can" goes a lot better if you pour it with the hole at the top instead of the bottom.

[@politicsreporter4247]

This video is gonna help me changing my new Camry first oil changed Thank you V much. What number FRAM filter it takes?

[@AutoTechOCD]

The previously oil filter that I used was FRAM (Part # FD4967). I would also check your local auto parts store for the exact fit for your make and model. Anyway, I'm glad I could help and thanks for the comment!!

[@markygutierrez4195]

Whatever happened to add oil to your oil filter before installing.

[@emf5733]

What do I do with the old oil?

[@AutoTechOCD]

They should take the used motor oil at your local auto parts store. Some recycling facilities should also take it.😉

[@armandogomez2677]

Dumb question but is that .2 of a at that big a deal?

[@AutoTechOCD]

Once the engine oil goes through the oil pump, oil filter and oil galleries the level may drop slightly. I wouldn't go over the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Otherwise, it would cause engine problems. Anyway, I find that it's the perfect amount of oil whenever I do an oil change for this car. Thanks again for the sincere question...

[@justin94block]

​@AutoTechOCD why couldn't they just make the engine slightly bigger for 5 quarts 😅

[@exvan3571]

​@@justin94blockIIRC, they designed it for 4.5 Liters, which happens to be 4.8 quarts

[@Elena-cf1ib]

You never wanna go over the full mark. It is the best to stay a little below the full, there is not a solid answer of how much is too much, but the full mark is there for a reason, for peace of mind you should never go over. too much is as bad if not worse than too little.

[@chrisragone8785]

Ever consider installing a Fumoto Valve?

[@AutoTechOCD]

Good question. I'll probably get one in the future. Thanks for the comment...

[@JuanVega-ns5ok]

The drain valves are nice. I used EZ drain.

[@joshuameier7129]

I just purchased a 2024 Toyota camry will this be the same?

[@AutoTechOCD]

Yes, It should be the same for the Camry 2018 - Present (8th Generation) .

[@oattesy]

I followed these steps and after about 100km I had a check engine/take to a dealer message pop up, is there some hidden issue?

[@AutoTechOCD]

Did you remember to "reset the data" in your vehicle settings? If you remembered, then it is probably some other issue. Do you have an OBD2 code reader? You can usually find out why your malfunction indicator light (MIL) is going on relatively quickly..

[@thesamuelclemens]

Where you put the jack stands it feels like plastic to me, im not sure where to put mine. Can you send me a pic, are you on instagram?

[@AutoTechOCD]

Hi, I'm actually not on Instagram. The jack points are definitely not plastic!! It is a long rail under the rocker panel that have (pinch welds) small ridges. If you search "Toyota Camry jack points," there should be a number of pictures and diagrams. I hope that helps..

A Toyota Filter is is only a couple of dollars more...and yes there is a difference.

[@jdarylhamilton2662]

Toyota uses Denso from the factory, with excellent quality, and also Wix xp is another great product.

I agree the Toyota filter would be the ideal choice..

[@AutoTechOCD]

I really like the Wix filters too. Thanks for the comment!!@@jdarylhamilton2662

[@patrickhenry2845]

Mobil 1 is making a gigantic profit just selling 0W-16W synthetic oil. You see entire shelves packed with 5 gallon jugs of the oil at Walmart stores.

[@AutoTechOCD]

Yes, I've heard that Walmart does have a better price. I usually get my motor oil from my local parts store because they give me a discount on the filter too. They also give me extra points on my membership. Thanks for the comment!!🙂

[@thomasmiller5676]

You are tighten your oil filter TOO tight! I'm surprised you didn't use a wrench. The same way with your oil pan bolt.....TOO tight!

[@jasonjackson5696]

The oil is awfully dirty for 5,000 miles …. 5 quarts is too much. You should put in 4.2 quarts, check it when cold, then run it for a few minutes so it can go through the filter. Turn off motor & check again in about 5 minutes so it can settle & add accordingly. You never want to overfill the oil because it can cause problems.

[@AutoTechOCD]

Thanks for the comment!

[@Daddyme92]

how often do you change the oil?

[@AutoTechOCD]

For this car I usually follow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Which is every 5,000 miles..

[@martinaddison4880]

@@AutoTechOCD I have my oil changed at the Toyota dealership. They told me the Toyota recommendation is every 10,000 miles. The user manual states every 10,000 miles also.

[@AutoTechOCD]

Yes, this is true. Synthetic oil does last much longer. I usually do 5,000-mile intervals for my own preventative maintenance reasons. Thanks for the comment!@@martinaddison4880

[@patrickhenry2845]

I can't see changing oil every 10,000 miles under any circumstances, synthetic or not. The very most would be 7,000 miles for me. I prefer 5,000 for synthetic oil too.. Changing oil with standard oil is also recommended at 5,000 miles maximum. But 4,000 miles is better.

[@royrichardson9164]

​@patrickhenry2845 I agree. The oil maybe good for that long but idc what anyone says a filter isn't being effective for 10k miles

[@2wrdr]

Anyone know what size crush washers I need to buy?

[@AutoTechOCD]

I would go to your local auto parts store for the exact fit for your make and model. You can also get them on Amazon for cheaper. I used a Aluminum Crush Washer - M12 on mine. I hope that helps. Thanks for the comment!

[@2wrdr]

@@AutoTechOCD Thanks for suggestion. I got lucky as I found a new crush washer in the new OEM oil filter box so I didn't even have to go find one. The OEM oil filter was also inexpensive so that's what I will use anytime I want to change the oil on the new Camry. This was at 1K miles and I wanted to do it myself to personally know it was done. I have 4 free oil changes I will let the dealer do at 5K intervals then decide after that if I like their service dept. If so I'll continue to let them do oil changes. So far loving the Camry.😀

it depends how much you drain I sometimes leave my car for too long and end up adding 4.9-5 QTS

I actually poured some into the oil filter, and what was left was about 4.8 quarts. Anyways, Thanks for the comments...

[@johnmullen7026]

As a retired mechanic I would always remove filter before draining sump. Also never overfill with oil. Slightly under yes but never over.

Wasn't he supposed to fill the oil to the Middle of the dipstick between the dots? (he went over)@@johnmullen7026

You didn't lube the oil filter and NEVER over fill the crankcase. 4.8qts is MAX it should be more like 4.5qts
