Peter, you are the best! I LOVE that body style. I have a 2003 with 189,000 miles and I love her to death. She will be 18 on July 31, and I'm going to put a big hat on it and drive it around the neighborhood to celebrate. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air, as I do as much maintenance as I can by myself. And it's so easy on these cars. I don't even have to jack her up to change my oil. Blessings to you. Thank you for being so great!
@@rightlanehog3151 Oh yeah, like a dozen or so. I think this is 'sky blue pearl'. I thought it was boring at first, but catch it under a street light at night, and it's really something different.
Bought a 2019 Camry new with the dynamic force 2.5L. First oil change was 1 year and 6500 miles. Now at 11,000 miles and will do another oil change in a few months. 0w16 in case you're wondering. The oil has never been darker Than a weak tea color. Dual injection with electric vvt and a variable volume oil pump. I should also mention a weird (to me) computer controlled duct system for controlling/directing engine coolant to various parts of the engine while warming up.
Very well made video. I appreciate your clear stable video, attention to detail and step by step instructions. Your calm friendly voice makes it that much easier to understand. Thank you!
I too have switched to the Kirkland synthetic oil after watching the Project Farm oil test results. It meets the latest ILSAC and API specs (GF-6 and SP) and It's a great value at $2.50 per quart at my local Costco (or $2.97 for the identical Super Tech version at Walmart). I also take a moment to fill the new filter with oil for vertical filter applications.
@Brian Fulsom There were married to them after they bought new engines. Toyota learned from their mistakes unlike some other automakers. Oil burning was also an issue with Toyotas from this era. The sludge and oil burning issues were partly on the owner but not the stripped head bolts.
I got a 94 Toyota Celica when I was 29 and still have it I'm 57y/o now and it still runs fine I just parked it because I got tired of it and bought me a 2005 Toyota Camry to finish out what life I have left lol...

Nicely done Peter! Hopefully your videos will help people feel more confident in changing their own oil in their Toyota (that has this type of engine) It's really THIS easy!
It's weird seeing someone fill the washer fluid with water because I'm from the east coast. If you do that around here, it will freeze and the pump won't be able to pump it and you can blow up the rubber hoses and the nozzles.
This is the same exact car / model / year and color i have!! I have been researching oil change, and other issues I've been having. I'm trying the oil change this weekend - your video is very thorough!
When you loosen the old oil filter, not only does some oil drip outside, but some oil also drips inside, back into the pan. Therefore, when the oil filter is placed up high like it is here, it's better to replace the oil filter first. Then drain the oil in the pan after that. This way you don't leave any old dirty oil in the pan when you're done.
Good point. Didn't see this til after I finished draining both, but will do it that way next time. I have an old 2006 Toyota w 300k miles and I use The Advanced Synthetic Valvoline oil and top of the line filter. The filter says it protects for 20k miles can I at least go 10kiles before my next change? Also mote I have a small leak, so I check and add 1/2 a qt fresh oil about every couple months.
I thought so too. I wonder if he can give us some comments he has collected from the information now using is at least for one OCI. And yes some people cannot tell. But me, I can tell if I want power and the engine hesitates to give it or similar things, time to try another one until she tells me she likes it.

If the oil filter is in that orientation, it helps to fill up the filter with oil prior to installing. I also lubricate the filter threads along with the gasket. And prior to measuring the oil level, it is important to start the engine and let it run for a minute to verify there is oil pressure and no leaks. Then shut off the engine and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then measure the oil level now that the filter should be full of oil.
@@alb12345672 They have no idea how easy they have it.:) I had to have the fuel filler neck replaced on my 2005 Scion XB a couple of years ago, at only 72K miles. There was nothing left of it. Thanks, Toyota.
With that filter in its vertical position, it would be a good practice to fill it with oil through the center threaded hole prior to installation. Engine oil pressure build up much faster.
@@njsongwriter: Faster means the engine oil system becomes pressurized and not having to wait for the engine oil to run through the filter FIRST after it leaves the engine oil pump (metal to metal without proper lubrication).

Peter can you please open a second shop in the south suburbs of Chicago 🙏. I know it'll be a bit of a commute between northern Cal to Chicago but I promise to bring you all my work...I'll even give you referrals!
Does it make any difference or require any adjustment on the air -pressure to pump the tires at the lifted ( no load) position versus the tires on the ground ( with the weight of the vehicle on it ) ?
Even at only 116k id switch it to an extremely good a3/b4 rated 40 weight like castrol 0w-40 which is such a thin 40 weight its almost a heavy 30. My uncle in spain has a 2011 and the owners manual states 0w-20 all the way to 20w-50. He just bought a 2021 toyota yaris hybrid and the owners manual states 0w-8/16/20, 5w-20, and 5w-30. It's amazing what not having ridiculous epa restrictions does, and oem denso/toyota filters arent really that great. The fram ultra has an insane filtering efficiency at 10 and 5 microns. 94 percent at 10 and 81 percent at 5 if im not mistaken. Clean ass oil in independent tests so thats what i use in everything. The less micro metals spinning around or stroking on your contact areas the less scuffing or sand paper effect on the metals so less wear.
The cars are only part of the story. The shop is a lesson in organization, professionalism, and efficiency. Looks more like an OR than a garage. Clean, open, space between items, and everything at 90 degree angles. Wish he was not 2000 miles from me and my Toyota fleet.
Why hide the Kirkland oil label? It's made by Warren Distribution, got a good package of additives and is a great price. On the other hand, OEM or Denso filters exclusively for my Toyotas.
Because that car came out of the factory with conventional oil. That's the big debate, will synthetic oil cause seals to leak? Is it worth the risk on a creampuff like that if it's always been filled with conventional oil?
Other than year, Pete, how can one tell the difference between a a 2AZ-FE as we have here and a 2AR-FE in other years? Without measuring the bores of the pistons and such of course, just visual and without knowing year?
Do you think it is a good idea to prelube the oil filter? In other words, fill the filter with the new oil and let it absorb into the media before installing.
1azfe and 2azfe is the worst engine Toyota ever made !!! They burned excessive oil and overheated due to bad clamping force between cylinder head and blocks .. and most likely when they overheated the block is warped , piston rings failure and so one ... crapy engine
On the contrary, the 2002-2006 Camry were the last great generation of these cars, which were based of the Lexus ES chassis. The piston ring defect was the 2007 generation.
My ‘02 Camry has the 2AZ-FE engine, and has made it 303K miles without major work. It does use oil now-a quart every 1200 miles-and has done so for the last 75K miles, but oil is cheap, and even Toyotas must suffer some piston, valve guide, and/or stem seal wear in that many miles. Mechanics’ advice: Add oil, and keep on driving. No issues yet with catalytic converter fouling.
@@konradhittner4668 No check engine light or contaminated catalytic converter? With that oil burning, your catalytic converter will eventually go bad. I’m still amazed you got over 300K miles!!!👍
@@freespiritagent Nope. The Japanese car specialist mechanics I’ve consulted say that level of consumption is still “within factory specs”, and, as I indicated earlier, it’s been stable for quite awhile. Dunno if it’ll make it to 400K miles, but it doesn’t seem to be on its last legs yet.
I can attest to the quality of these cars. I have a 2005 Camry with 350,000 kms. No issues. Toronto, Canada.
They really are the best, aren't they? Maintain them and they are unstoppable.
2006 Avalon 300,000 mostly only needed minor repairs. Replaced the alternator a few months back.

It's weird seeing someone fill the washer fluid with water because I'm from the east coast. If you do that around here, it will freeze and the pump won't be able to pump it and you can blow up the rubber hoses and the nozzles.

Are the 2005’s prone to oil burning as well? I know that’s a issue with the 4cyl
The 4-cyl engine may have stripped thread problems.
The 2007-2011 models have small piston rings, which resulted in oil burning. 2002-2006 were fine.
Thanks for this video. Is there a reason why you don't you pre-fill the oil filter before reinstalling the oil filter?
It's not necessary.
I bought a bunch of Toyota crush washers and change then at every oil change for my 03 Camry and 97 4runner. Should I not?
I bought a bunch of them, too. I think it's best to use a new one every time. They don't cost much.

what is brand oil using for toyota camry 2005 2.0 G ,please any one help me
Is this engine one of the oil burner's?
Not totally sure but I think it was only US built vehicles that included 2006-2009 four cylinder Camrys (plus other models).
No 2007 thru 2011 were the oil burners.
Did I miss it ? What brand oil filter did he end up using ?
I believe he used a oil filter that is sold at Oriellys, MicroGard.
I believe it said Toyota on it which I thought was strange since he said he didn’t have one.
Do you think it is a good idea to prelube the oil filter? In other words, fill the filter with the new oil and let it absorb into the media before installing.
It's not needed.
God it makes me so mad when technicians make it so tight you can fuckin turn it I’m stuck rn
you change oil when it needs to be change, dont go by mileage
I would like to buy that car as my daily
Wish this guy would service my Lexus. Where is the accent from, by the way? Sounds Norwegian
you don't start and stop the engine to verify oil level ?
Not necessary if you're 100% sure of the capacity.
