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 5.7 quarts of 0W-20. Hybrids match the 2.5L spec. All use the Toyota 04152-YZZA1 cartridge filter.

Compiled from Toyota owner's manuals for the 2015–2024 Camry. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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

Oil consumption (2AR-FE, 2015–2017)

The pre-2018 2.5L inherits the 2AR family's appetite for oil in higher-mileage examples — piston ring related. Check the dipstick monthly; consumption that accelerates deserves a consumption test before it becomes a low-oil event.

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.

A25A cold-start rattle reports (2018+)

Brief startup rattle reports on early Dynamic Force engines generated TSB attention; most cases are benign VVT gear noise, but persistent rattle with timing codes deserves a dealer look while powertrain warranty applies.

Related code: P0016

Frequently asked questions

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?
5.7 quarts of 0W-20 with a filter change (both 2GR-FE and 2GR-FKS years).
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.
