Camry XV30 before restyling

• 0 1AZ-FE - 3.6 liters without filter change, 3.8 liters with filter,
• 4 2AZ-FE - 4.1 without filter, 4.3 l with oil filter change,
• V6 3.0 1MZ-FE or 3.3 3MZ-FE - 4.5 without, 4.7 with oil filter.

Scheme for selecting the viscosity of Camry XV30 oil depending on temperature

It follows from it that, at a temperature until the next change from -7 and above, a 20W-50 or 15W-40 lubricating fluid should be used. If the temperature fluctuates from -18 above, pour 10W-30. Lubricant with an index of 5W-30 should be poured at a temperature of +10 and above.

According to the API grading, you should use motor oils of the SJ or SL category. These data are indicated on the packaging.

The amount of lubricant required for replacement in engines:

• 4 2AZ-FE - 4.1, 4.3 liters without replacement and with replacement of the oil filter, respectively,
• 5 2GR-FE - 5.7 without, 6.1 with replacement of filter material.

Scheme for selecting the viscosity of Camry XV40 oil depending on temperature

It follows from it that if, before the next replacement, the motor will be operated in a region with a temperature of -10 and above, fill in grease with a viscosity of 20W-50, 15W-40. If the temperature ranges from -18 and above, a lubricating fluid with an index of 10W-30 should be used. If the temperature drops even lower and does not rise above +10 degrees, fill in 5W-30.

Also in the manual it is written that oils with the indication "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" are suitable for all-season use. For motor fluids of different seasons, use a classified API with an SL or SM index.

2.0 6AR-FSE and 2.5 2AR-FE motors

The volume of oil required for a change is the same for both power units:

• 2.0 6AR-FSE and 2.5 2AR-FE - 4.1 without replacing the oil filter and 4.4 liters including the oil filter.

Scheme for selecting the viscosity of Camry XV50 oil for a 2.0 engine

At very low temperatures, lubricants with indices: 0W-20, 5W-20 and 5W-30 are suitable. If ultra-low temperatures are not expected before the upcoming replacement, then 10W-30 and 15W-40 grease can be used.

Also, API requirements apply to motor oils. Use lubricants SL or SM labeled "Energy Conserving".

V6 3.5 2GR-FE engine

When replacing a car oil in a V6 3.5 2GR-FE engine, 6.1 and 5.7 liters of lubricant will be required when replacing with a filter and without, respectively.

The scheme for choosing the viscosity of a lubricant for a Toyota V6 3.5 2GR-FE engine differs from the scheme for smaller power units.

According to the scheme provided in the manual, 5W-30 oil should not be used at temperatures above +10 degrees. A lubricant with this viscosity is suitable for the lowest temperatures. Lubricating fluid 10W-30 or 15W-40 is suitable for temperatures from -12 and above.

Also, lubricant for the Toyota V6 3.5 2GR-FE engine must comply with API standards:

• SL or SM "Energy Conserving" (energy saving);
• SN "Resource-Conserving".

How to identify the original Toyota car oil by the appearance of the packaging?

In the CIS countries, car owners are more concerned with the issue of the authenticity of the oil. Because often a fake is passed off as an original.

We will briefly tell you how to distinguish an original car oil from a counterfeit by external signs.

Plastic canister

To distinguish the original from a fake by the appearance of a plastic 5-liter canister, study the following.

• Lid. The real cover differs in color (in a fake it is much lighter) and stamping, which is clearly visible in the photo.

• Plastic color. The original packaging is light gray glossy. The fake is darker and less iridescent.
• Bottom markings. In a real canister, all the symbols are clear and readable. Not the original - blurry blurry.

• Canister stickers. On the back there is a multi-part sticker, the top layer peels off easily, you can read what is written inside without any problems. In a fake, the top layer peels off poorly, it can tear, and does not adhere well back.

Metal container

There is a stereotype that a lubricant in a metal container is less often counterfeited due to the fact that a tin can is more expensive to manufacture. Maybe it was once so, but now you can buy counterfeit oil in metal.

On the left, the original on the right is a fake. the difference in color and texture of the metal is noticeable

Let's list a few differences between the original in a tin container and a fake:

• Metal color and texture. This is clearly visible in the photo.
• A pen. In the original, it was secured neatly; negligence is noticeable in a fake.

Top fake, bottom original

• Welded seam. In a real canister, it is processed perfectly, in a fake it is a completely different matter.

The service life of the Toyota Camry 40 power plant directly depends on the quality of the oil to be filled in and the intervals for its replacement. Even the most gentle driving mode of the car will not relieve 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 drain intervals and use only well-proven products for filling.

Toyota branded oil overview

Toyota Motor Corporation produces a line of engine oils for its vehicles. They differ in price, viscosity, base, amount of additives and their properties.

One of the most suitable for Camry 40 is Toyota's synthetic oil 08880-10705. This grease is used all-season. It has good antioxidant and detergent properties. The oil proved to be excellent when used at low temperatures. It perfectly performs the functions assigned to it, regardless of external factors. This oil is most suitable for a Camry with a 3.5-liter engine.

Car enthusiasts who boost their cars also speak admirably about Toyota 08880-10705. It perfectly lubricates friction surfaces in engines under excessive stress.

Semi-synthetic oil from Toyota Motor Corporation has a lower cost, but is not particularly inferior in its characteristics to a synthetic-based lubricant. It is also all-season. Car owners note that the use of Toyota08880-10605 oil is most optimal in 2.4 liter engines.

Oil with a low viscosity is more suitable for cars with low mileage. Car owners point out that on the Camry 40, whose odometer shows more than 150 thousand kilometers, Toyota Bay 08880-10505 leads to a large oil pan. In general, the oil is good and fully fulfills the functions assigned to it.

In the case of engines with solid mileage, it is recommended to use mineral oil. Toyota 08880-10805 shows itself well only on engines that are subject to overhaul in the near future. Otherwise, car owners do not recommend using it, since:

• oil consumption increases;
• the engine starts more difficult, especially in the cold season;
• the relubrication interval needs to be halved.

Synthetic Toyota oil "Engine Oil 5W-40" is focused on European use. His gulf in American and Arab women will not end badly, but the expense can be significant.

Toyota "Engine Oil 5W-40"

Toyota's "Engine Oil" synthetic oil, pictured below, has been developed in contrast to the previous oil primarily for vehicles manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation. It has fewer certificates, therefore the price is not lower. The operational properties of Toyota "Engine Oil" are at a fairly high level

Toyota "Engine Oil"

The price for original Toyota Motor Corporation oil 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.

Oil for the Camry 40 engine from other manufacturers

Reviews of Toyota Motor Corporation branded oil are quite controversial. Some car owners use only the recommended oil, but there are drivers who believe that there is better lubricant. Toyota does not prohibit the use of third party fluids.

According to the reviews of motorists, a table of the best analogs of the native oil has been compiled. The selection of grease 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 for a five-liter canister.

Oil change schedule

• for the mineral - every 5 thousand kilometers;
• for semi-synthetics and synthetics - 10 thousand km.

If in two years the car has not covered this distance, 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 city 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 must be changed ahead of time. To diagnose the condition of the lubricant, it is recommended to drop the oil onto a napkin. By the shape of the blurred spot, you can determine its condition.

Determination of the condition of the oil by a stain on a napkin

There are four control zones to consider when diagnosing the oil condition, as shown in the image below.

The filling volumes of the 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 eats more than 200 grams of oil per 100 km, and a 3.5-liter unit is more than 350 grams at a similar distance.

The process of changing the oil on a Camry 40 do it yourself

The engine oil is changed according to the instructions below:

1. Remove crankcase cover.
2. Unscrew the drain plug. Old grease poured into the internal combustion engine will pour from the hole.
3. Wait for the oil to drain.
4. Replace filter.
5. Screw on the drain plug.
6. Fill engine with fresh oil.
7. Start the engine. A signal that the oil pressure should not be below normal after a couple of minutes of operation of the power unit.
8. Check its level. The oil should fit within the tolerances between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick.

The condition of the vehicle lubrication system is one of the most important indicators characterizing the service life, as well as the quality of vehicle operation. The supply of oil to each friction unit is carried out both forcibly, through special channels, and by the method of spraying and due to the surface tension of the oil film. Engine oil not only reduces friction, reduces wear of vehicle components and assemblies, but also improves the operating conditions of the cooling system, as well as ensures the removal of friction products.

Vehicle internal combustion engine lubrication system

There are two main types of motor oils: mineral and synthetic. Mineral oil is obtained by simple purification from the black oil fraction. They are characterized by 2-4 times lower cost than synthetic oils, but their quality is much lower. Synthetic oils are produced by catalytic processing of mineral oils in order to improve the uniformity and stability of the oil. Pure mineral oils are not used today in internal combustion engines and gearboxes; they are used only as inexpensive industrial oils for general technical purposes.

Modern engine oils are characterized by sufficient versatility and acceptable quality. The main differences are related to a number of key metrics:

• the size of the hydrocarbon skeleton of molecules,
• isomerism of the hydrocarbon skeleton,
• the presence of detergents and anti-adhesive additives based on various non-ionic surfactants,
• organometallic compounds that exclude the formation of carbon deposits when oil enters the cylinder of a car.

Two key indicators of modern engine oils: viscosity and quality. The quality characterizes the molecular weight distribution of hydrocarbons in the oil, as well as the degree of purification from harmful impurities. In part, the quality of the oil depends on the presence and quantity of additives.

The manufacturer recommends using only SH quality oils and higher (for 1MZ-FE internal combustion engines) and oils of at least SG class (for 5S-FE internal combustion engines) in the Toyota Camry V40. The viscosity of oils increases with an increase in the length of the hydrocarbon skeleton of oil molecules, with a decrease in the content of side groups in oil macromolecules. Viscosity is usually characterized by two numbers: viscosity at room temperature, and viscosity at operating temperature of an internal combustion engine. Depending on the ambient temperature, the manufacturer proposes to be guided by the following table for selecting the brand of engine oils for Toyota Camry V40.

The lower the viscosity of the oil, the lower temperatures it can be used. High viscosity oils (for example, type 20W-50) are recommended for Toyota Camry V40 operation in hot climates and / or in summer. At the factory, Toyota 10W-30 SM or Toyota 5W-30 SM oils are usually filled.

The greatest problems are encountered when using summer brands of oils in the winter, at the time of starting the internal combustion engine. The engine is not yet warmed up, the oil at low temperatures has a high viscosity, which leads to high loads on all moving parts of the internal combustion engine, and accelerates engine wear. Preheating the internal combustion engine and careful operation somewhat reduce these negative phenomena.

The use of winter oils in summer is especially dangerous when the vehicle is used intensively at high loads. At the same time, the temperature of the internal combustion engine rises, the viscosity of the oil decreases, which worsens the conditions for lubricating moving parts. This increases both abrasive wear and dynamic loads on moving parts (for example, sliding beats at the piston pin seat).
Separately, it should be noted that wear of rubbing surfaces is always present, its exact value depends on many practically unpredictable factors. Therefore, it is recommended to monitor the quality and level of the oil, if necessary, change the oil filter and oil. If the oil on a hot internal combustion engine has a natural color, transparent, and has a uniform consistency, but the oil level has dropped, then a little oil should be added.

The experience of car enthusiasts when choosing oil for Toyota Camry V40

All owners of Toyota Camry V40 cars solve the problem of choosing engine oils in their own way. Someone prefers cheaper oils, preferring to change them more often, but most prefer to use high-quality oils, regardless of their cost.

Operating experience Toyota Camry V40 showed good results when using oils: Castrol 5W30, Mobil 1 5W-30, Mobil 1 Peak Life 5W-50, MOTUL 8100 5W40, Neste CITY PRO LL 5W-30, Shell Helix 5W-30, etc. Quite good reviews from Toyota Camry V40 operators go to the following oils: Castrol sport 5W60 and Eneos 5W30 SM.

We should also mention the Finnish company Neste, the climate of Finland is close to the climate of central Russia. Therefore, the oils of this company are well suited for most modern cars in the Russian climate.

In conclusion, it should be recalled that the dependence of viscosity on temperature varies greatly for oils of different companies. Therefore, Mobil 1 Peak Life 5W-50 engine oil can be operated without any problems at -10 * C, and Neste CITY PRO 0W-20 oil is not recommended for use in summer.

Video instruction for replacement

The Camry XV40 car of the Japanese automaker Toyota can hardly be categorized unambiguously - it is an excellent representative of both business and middle class. In the lineup, the Camry sits between the Avalon and the Corolla and is built on the Toyota K platform. The sixth generation of the model was developed by a multinational team of engineers, and it was released between 2006 and 2011. Therefore, depending on the region, the car had its own characteristics. A modification close to the American one was officially imported into the Russian market: this is a 5-speed automatic and a mechanics with a 2.4-liter engine, or a 3.5-liter version with a 6-speed variator (information on the types of oil poured into them and its amount is below).

The 2009 facelift brought no major changes beyond a few cosmetic enhancements such as a chrome strip on the trunk, direction indicators on the side mirrors and a redesigned grille. Toyota Camry has a fairly moderate appetite for fuel, consuming in the combined cycle up to 10.8 liters per 100 km on the 2.4 version, up to 7.2 liters at 2.6 and up to 10.6 on the 3.5-liter version. The power of the models available on the domestic market varies from 167 to 272 hp.

The car was also produced in Russia. For this, factories were built together with Japan, where assembly was carried out under Toyota license. The model has a huge trunk (483 liters), good noise isolation and a high-quality audio system. 9 airbags are responsible for the safety of the driver and passengers. And, despite the fact that Camry XV40 can hardly claim the title of the most beautiful car, its internal content allows it to be deservedly considered one of the most comfortable and adequately evaluated in the price / quality category, which had a positive effect on sales. The release of the 40th version lasted until 2011, after which it was replaced by the 7th generation (XV-50).

Automobile manufacturers pay great attention to consumables; all the necessary lubrication parameters are indicated in the operating instructions. Car enthusiasts, when choosing oils for the summer or winter, must take into account the requirements of the 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.

The automaker Toyota Camry insists on the use of universal lubricants of the SG or SG / CD class according to the API system. To select the viscosity, it is necessary to use Scheme 1.

Scheme 1. Predicted temperature range overboard the car until the next oil change.

In accordance with the diagram1 with a thermometer reading above -23.5 0 It is recommended to fill with fluids 10w-30, 10w-40, 10w-50. If the thermometer reading is above -12.5 0 C, then it is worth pouring 20w-40, 1-20w-50. At temperatures below +10 0 C you need to use 5w-30 fluids.

Refueling capacities, taking into account the oil filter, are:

• 3.8 L for 5S-FE car engines;
• 4.5 l if the motor is 3VZ-FE;
• 5.0L corresponds to 1MZ-FE car engines.

Toyota Camry XV50 from 2011 release

2013 model

According to the operating instructions, lubricant for Toyota Camry engines is an original Toyota car oil or lubricants from other companies that have the parameters required by the car manufacturer. The class, type and viscosity of the oil are determined by the type of engine.

Powertrains 6AR-FSE and 2AR-FE

According to the manual, it is necessary to fill in oils with a viscosity index of 0w-20, 5w-20, 5w-30 or 10w-30, corresponding to classes SL or SM with the designation "Energy Conserving" (energy saving) according to the API system. ILSAC certified multipurpose lubricants with a viscosity rating of 15w-40 are acceptable. You can also use motor oils of the SL, SN or SM groups according to the API system.

To select the viscosity depending on the temperature outside the machine, use diagram 5.

Scheme 5. Influence of air temperature on the selection of the viscosity of the motor oil.

According to scheme 5, at extremely low temperatures, it is necessary to fill in lubricants 0w-20, 5w-20, 5w-30. Car oils with a viscosity parameter of 10w-30 or 15w-40 should be used if the thermometer reading is above -18 0 Otherwise, starting the motor will be difficult.

The volume of engine oil required when changing is 4.4 liters including the oil filter and 4.0 liters without changing the oil filter.

Car engines 2GR-FE

• SL or SM labeled "Energy Conserving";
• SN marked "Resource-Conserving".

It is also possible to pour in ILSAC certified greases with a viscosity rating of 15w-40, or use the oil groups SL, SM and SN with the recommended viscosity rating.

The viscosity parameter can be selected according to Scheme 6.

Scheme 6. Predicted temperature range until the next change of motor fluid.

According to scheme 6, at extremely low temperatures, it is necessary to use 5w-30 lubricants, and with a thermometer reading above -18 0 С, pour 10w-30 or 15w-40.

The volume of engine fluid required when replacing is 6.1 liters with an oil filter change and 5.7 liters without an oil filter.

Conclusion

Using the recommended engine oil for Toyota Camry 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 car engine, the properties of which depend on the quality parameters of the lubricant. The thicker the car 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 inappropriate oil in terms of parameters, the film may break, the engine will start to run "dry" - this will lead to its breakdown.

When changing the lubricant, note:

• the manual indicates the reference volume of oil that will be needed when changing the lubricant, in real conditions it may differ slightly;
• overflow of motor oil above the maximum mark on the dipstick is unacceptable, therefore, after adding grease, it is necessary to check the level of the lubricant.
