Toyota Camry oil type and capacity by year
The Toyota Camry oil type depends on the year and engine. A 2018–2024 Camry with the 2.5L 4-cylinder takes SAE 0W-16 and holds 4.8 quarts with the filter (4.5 quarts in the 2024 manual). The V6 in those years takes 0W-20 and holds 5.7 quarts. A 2012–2017 Camry takes 0W-20: 4.6 quarts for the 2.5L and 6.4 quarts for the V6. Most Camrys from 2010 on go 10,000 miles or 12 months between oil changes when they get the oil the manual names.

Camry oil type and capacity by year
Find your model year, then the engine. The capacity is the amount Toyota gives for a drain and refill with a new filter. Treat it as a starting point: add most of it, run the engine, wait a few minutes, and top up to the full mark on the dipstick.

Not sure which engine you have? The engine size is on the original window sticker, and a Toyota dealer can look it up from the VIN. Camry Hybrid manuals were not available to us, so their rows say to check the manual.
Why the Camry went from 5W-30 to 0W-16
Toyota moved to thinner oil with each new engine to cut friction and help fuel economy. The 2008–2011 V6 still took 5W-30. The 2.4L of 2008–2009 allowed 5W-20 or 0W-20, and from 2010 the 2.5L engines were built for 0W-20. The 2018 Dynamic Force 2.5L (A25A-FKS) went a step further to 0W-16.
The manuals for the 0W-16 engine say 0W-20 may be used if 0W-16 is not available, but the oil must be changed back to 0W-16 at the next oil change. A thicker oil, such as 5W-30, is not listed for these engines.
The spec on the bottle
Viscosity is only half of the label. Toyota also names an oil standard: ILSAC GF-5 on 2013–2021 manuals, API SN with Resource Conserving (SN/RC) for the 0W-16 engine through 2021, and ILSAC GF-6A (0W-20) or GF-6B (0W-16) from 2022. GF-6B is the only ILSAC grade for 0W-16 oil, so a 0W-16 bottle should carry it. Newer standards cover the older ones, so a GF-6A oil is fine where the manual names GF-5.
Synthetic or conventional?
Toyota’s manuals name a grade and a standard, not a base oil, so any oil with the right grade and spec meets the manual. The 2010 guide calls the 0W-20 schedule a “synthetic (0W-20)” schedule. Toyota’s 10,000-mile interval for these cars assumes 0W-20 or 0W-16; the guides say that if a different oil was used at the last change, the next one is due at 5,000 miles.
How often to change Camry oil
For 2012–2024 Camrys, Toyota’s maintenance guides say every 10,000 miles or 12 months with the right oil, and the 2026 guide keeps that schedule. For 2008–2009 models the guide says every 5,000 miles or 6 months. Cars driven mostly on dirt or dusty roads, towing, or making many short trips in freezing weather go back to 5,000 miles. More on picking an interval: how often to change oil. If you are past the date or the mileage, see oil change due.
The maintenance reminder on the dash counts miles since it was last reset, not months, so a Camry driven little can be due before the reminder shows. After an oil change, reset it: how to reset the Toyota maintenance light.
FAQ
What oil does a Toyota Camry take?
2018–2024 4-cylinder: 0W-16. 2018–2024 V6 and all 2010–2017 Camrys: 0W-20. 2008–2011 V6: 5W-30. 2008–2009 2.4L: 5W-20 or 0W-20.
How much oil does a Camry hold?
With a new filter: 4.8 quarts for the 2018–2023 2.5L (4.5 in 2024), 5.7 quarts for the 2018–2024 V6, 4.6 quarts for the 2012–2017 2.5L, and 6.4 quarts for the 2008–2017 V6.
Can I use 0W-20 in a Camry that calls for 0W-16?
Toyota allows 0W-20 if 0W-16 is not available, but says to change back to 0W-16 at the next oil change.
How many miles between oil changes on a Camry?
10,000 miles or 12 months for most 2010–2026 Camrys with the specified oil, and 5,000 miles or 6 months for 2008–2009 models or under severe conditions.
