Toyota Camry Oil Type and Capacity

Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.

The oil on a Toyota Camry is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

How many quarts of oil does a Toyota Camry take?

4.5 quarts with a filter change. Fill to about 4 quarts, run the engine, then top up to the mark on the dipstick rather than pouring the full amount in at once.

What kind of oil does a Toyota Camry take?

0W-8 meeting API SP / ILSAC GF-6B (0W-16) / GF-7B, full synthetic (required, not merely recommended).

Can you use a different viscosity in a Toyota Camry?

The manufacturer also permits 0W-16 (May be used if 0W-8 is unavailable; Toyota says to return to 0W-8 at the next change. Several US quick-lube/aftermarket guides list 0W-16 as the service grade, go by your own manual's spec page.). Anything outside that list is a decision you are making against the factory specification.

How often does a Toyota Camry need an oil change?

10,000 mi / 12 months (normal); 5,000 mi (severe). Short trips, towing, extended idling, and dusty or very cold conditions all put the vehicle on the severe-service side of that interval.

What oil filter does a Toyota Camry take?

The OEM filter is Toyota 90915-YZZN1 (spin-on).
