What type of engine oil is suitable for the new Camry?
1 Answers
The Camry uses 5W30 engine oil, while 5W40 is suitable for Camrys that have traveled over 100,000 kilometers. Additional information: 1. Standard viscosity value: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This value first indicates that the oil is multi-grade. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before 'W' represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance in cold conditions. The number after 'W' represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its likelihood of thinning). The larger the number, the better the high-temperature stability. 2. Classification: SAE lubricant viscosity classifications for winter oils are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The 'W' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before 'W', the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature flow, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature. SAE lubricant viscosity classifications for summer oils are 20, 30, 40, and 50. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. 3. Oil grades: SAE lubricant viscosity classifications for all-season oils are 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-20, 15W-30, 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-20, 20W-30, 20W-40, and 20W-50. The smaller the winter number (indicating a lower minimum applicable temperature) and the larger the summer number (indicating a higher maximum applicable temperature), the wider the applicable temperature range.
