Oil Change Interval

Toyota recommends different oil change intervals depending on driving conditions:

• Normal Duty: Every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
• Severe Duty: Every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Severe duty includes frequent short trips, extensive idling, towing, driving in dusty conditions, or extreme temperatures.

Regularly check your owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information on maintenance schedules.

Drain Plug Torque

The drain plug torque for the 2023 Toyota Camry is typically 30 ft-lbs (41 Nm) for all engine types. It is highly recommended to replace the crush washer with each oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. The crush washer is a one-time use item.

How to Change the Oil

Changing the oil on your 2023 Camry is a straightforward process:

1. Gather your tools: new oil, new oil filter, drain pan, wrench for drain plug, oil filter wrench, torque wrench, and gloves.
2. Warm up the engine slightly to allow the oil to flow more easily.
3. Safely lift and support the front of the vehicle using jack stands.
4. Locate the oil drain plug on the oil pan and place the drain pan underneath.
5. Carefully remove the drain plug, allowing the old oil to drain completely.
6. Replace the crush washer and reinstall the drain plug, torquing it to 30 ft-lbs (41 Nm).
7. Locate the oil filter. Depending on your engine, it might be a cartridge type (2.5L engines) or spin-on type (some V6 models may vary; consult specific manual).
8. Remove the old oil filter and properly dispose of it.
9. Install the new oil filter, ensuring the O-rings are correctly seated (for cartridge filters) or the gasket is lightly oiled (for spin-on filters).
10. Lower the vehicle and fill the engine with the recommended amount and type of new oil.
11. Start the engine and check for leaks. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes, then turn it off.
12. Check the oil level on the dipstick and top off if necessary.

Common Issues / Tips

The 2023 Toyota Camry continues the legacy of reliable powertrain options. For the 2.5L 4-cylinder and Hybrid engines, a cartridge-style oil filter is used, which typically comes with new O-rings that must be replaced. Proper installation of these O-rings is crucial to prevent leaks. The 0W-16 oil specified for these engines is a lower viscosity oil designed for improved fuel economy; ensure you use the correct weight. The 3.5L V6 uses a 0W-20 oil, also a low-viscosity synthetic blend or full synthetic oil. Always use oil that meets API SN PLUS, SP, or ILSAC GF-6A specifications to ensure proper lubrication and protection for your engine.

The 2023 Camry also features a plastic lower engine splash shield that might need to be removed to access the oil filter and drain plug. Be gentle with the plastic clips to avoid breakage.
