What Type of Engine Oil Does Toyota Camry Use?
1 Answers
Toyota Camry uses the following engine oil specifications: API (American Petroleum Institute) standards 0W-16, Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, and ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) standard 15W-40. Below is relevant information regarding oil selection: 1. For cold regions, choose an oil type with lower viscosity; conversely, for hot regions, select an oil type with higher viscosity. 2. In addition to lubrication, engine oil also serves functions such as sealing and corrosion prevention. Lower oil viscosity can compromise sealing performance, potentially leading to oil entering the combustion chamber, while higher oil viscosity increases engine operating resistance. Therefore, when selecting engine oil, it is not advisable to blindly opt for lower viscosity; instead, choose the appropriate oil specification based on the region where the vehicle is used. 3. In China, 0W-20, 5W-20, and 5W-30 are suitable options. For cold regions, 0W-20 is recommended, while for hot regions, 5W-30 is advised.
