What oil does a 2018+ Camry take?

0W-16 full synthetic, 4.8 quarts with a filter change for the 2.5L (gas and hybrid). Toyota permits 0W-20 temporarily if 0W-16 isn't available — return to 0W-16 at the next change. The V6 uses 0W-20, 5.7 quarts.

Is 0W-16 really necessary?

It's the engineered spec for the A25A's tolerances, fuel economy, and warranty. The engine won't grenade on a single 0W-20 fill (Toyota explicitly allows it as a fallback), but 0W-16 is the standing answer.

How much oil does the Camry V6 take?

Depends on the year, per Toyota's manuals: 2015–2017 (2GR-FE) takes 6.4 quarts with a filter change; 2018–2024 (2GR-FKS) takes 5.7 quarts. Both use 0W-20.

Does the Camry have a CVT?

No — gas Camrys use a conventional 6-speed (2015–2017) or 8-speed (2018+) automatic with Toyota ATF WS. Hybrids use the eCVT planetary transaxle, which has no belts and a strong reliability record.

What's the lug nut torque?

76 lb-ft, star pattern — Toyota's near-universal passenger-car spec.

2015–2024 Toyota Camry Oil Capacity & Fluid Specs

Quick answer

The 2018–2024 Camry 2.5L takes 4.8 quarts of 0W-16 with a filter change; the 2015–2017 2.5L takes 4.6 quarts of 0W-20; the 3.5L V6 takes 6.4 quarts (2015–2017) or 5.7 quarts (2018–2024) of 0W-20. Hybrids match the 2.5L spec. All use the Toyota 04152-YZZA1 cartridge filter.

Specs below are verified against Toyota's own owner's manuals (2016, 2019 and 2023 editions). The big change came in 2018: the new A25A 'Dynamic Force' 2.5L specifies ultra-thin 0W-16 oil — unusual enough that parts stores still shelve it sparsely. Toyota allows 0W-20 in a pinch with a return to 0W-16 at the next change. And note the V6 trap: the older 2GR-FE takes 6.4 quarts, the newer 2GR-FKS only 5.7. Cartridge-filter note: you'll need the 64mm cap wrench, and the O-rings come with a quality filter.

DIY oil change — quick steps

1 Set up

Warm engine, level ground; low-slung trims may want ramps. The cartridge filter housing points down near the front of the oil pan on the 2.5L.
2 Drain

14mm drain plug, new aluminum gasket every time (Toyota 90430-12031 — they're pennies and they're why these don't leak).
3 Cartridge filter

64mm cap wrench, drain the housing via its little plug first if equipped, swap the element and BOTH O-rings (lightly oiled), torque the cap modestly — plastic housings crack from gorilla hands. ≈18 lb-ft typical, verify yours.
4 Refill, verify, reset

Fill per your engine's table, check the dipstick after settling, run and inspect. Reset the maintenance light: 2018+, Settings → Vehicle → scheduled maintenance; 2015–2017, ODO to Trip A, key off, hold trip button while turning key on until zeros.

Common problems on this vehicle

Fuel pump recall (2018–2020)

Many 2018–2020 Camrys are covered by the Denso low-pressure fuel pump recalls (NHTSA 20V-012 and 20V-682, expanded in Jan 2025 by 25V-028 for certain 2018 builds). A failing pump can cause rough running or stalling. Run your VIN through our free recall check — the fix is a no-cost dealer pump replacement.

EVAP codes from fuel cap & canister

Camrys set P0455/P0442 with notable frequency — usually the cap, occasionally the canister assembly. Our EVAP guide walks the cheap ladder before parts.

Related code: P0455

8-speed drivability complaints (2018–2019)

Hesitation when accelerating from a slow roll or rolling stop on 2018–2019 four-cylinder cars is documented in Toyota TSB T-SB-0152-19 — the fix is an ECM calibration update, not hardware. V6 shift-quality complaints got their own bulletin (T-SB-0043-19). If your Camry hesitates, ask the dealer about these bulletins before paying for diagnosis.
