Here are the some preparations before changing the oil of your camry:
1. Lift up the Camry with the help of a car jack. Set the jack stands underneath. Or you may drive your Camry onto a set of wheel ramps, if you don’t have jack stands. To prevent the car from rolling you should brace the backs of the front tires.
2. Open the hood of your Camry and find the oil filler cap and the dipstick. For 1997 to 2000 Camry, the oil filler cap is located on the valve cover. Remove the dipstick and cap.
3. Now, you should find out the engine type of your Camry. For 1 MZ-FE engine, the oil filter is located beneath the front exhaust manifold. For other engines, the filter is underneath the car.
4. Prepare closed end wrench or metric socket, cleaning cloths, oil drip pan, and new filter. Slide under your Camry and find the filter and drain plug. Most drain plugs are located on the bottom rear of the oil pan and the filters are near the front.
Changing the Oil
1. Remove the drain plug and take the metric socket or closed end wrench. Pull the plug fast, and leave it for about 10 to 15 minutes to let the oil to drain into the pan. Now check for any damage on the threads of the plug. Clean off excess oil.
2. Now you may replace the drain plug and move on to the next part, the filter. If the filter is under the front exhaust manifold, you should slide out and look under the hood to find the filter. Remove the filter by using a filter wrench and dump the oil into the oil drip pan.
3. Use oil to coat the new filter’s rubber gasket. Slide out and fill your Camry with oil.
The oil type depends on your Camry year:
1983-1988 Camry : 5W-30, 10W-50, 10W-40, 10W-30, 15W-40, 20W-50 or 20W-40
1989-1991 Camry : 5W-30, 10W-30 or 10W-40
1992 – up Camry : 5W-30 or 10W-30
For colder temperatures use 5W oil, it’s the preferred oil type for most cars.
4. Now, start your Camry for a minute to let the oil pressure builds. Using dipstick, check the oil level. Turn off the car and add more oil if the dipstick shows it’s not at full. Shut the hood and lower your car.
