The new generation of the super popular Toyota car made its debut in 2011. The eighth international generation Camry outwardly radically differed from the previous one while maintaining the same dimensions. The novelty received an enlarged interior and a large windshield, which significantly increased the visibility while driving. Serial production of the XV50 continued until 2014, after which the car was restyled.
If earlier official deliveries to the Russian Federation did not provide for a wide variety of configurations, then with the new generation everything changed and the choice of the buyer was now presented to the versions of Lux, Prestige, Elegance, Classic and Standard. At the same time, even the most "modest" Standard had a full set of options, sufficient for the absolute comfort of the driver and passengers.
As for the line of engines, three types of power plants settled under the hood of the 50th Camry: 2.0 liters in the Classic and Standard trim levels with a capacity of 145 hp, 2.5 liters for the Comfort version and above (180 and 200 hp), and also 3.5 liters for the most expensive configurations (249 hp). Russian imports provided for a 249-horsepower version of the 3.5-liter engine, although in Europe the same engine had 272 horsepower. The unit was derated so that the model could compete with the leaders of the Russian market by transferring the car to a lower taxation category. The average mixed fuel consumption at the above installations was 7.8 (engine 2.0), 9.8 (engine 2.5) and 10.6 (engine 3.5) liters per 100 km. Information on the types of oil to be filled and its consumption is indicated below.
Despite its merits, the Camry 50 also had one impressive, but "strange" minus: the model occupies a leading position in the list of the most stolen cars. This fact is explained by the ideal balance between price and quality and, perhaps, too rich filling.

The oil in the engine is the most important element that directly affects the functioning of the power unit. Without its timely replacement, the car will fail, repairs will be expensive and difficult. Toyota Camry V50, like other cars of this series, needs high-quality engine oil, the effect of which is clearly visible on engine operation. Lukoil oil is perfect
What kind of fluid does the engine need?
What kind of oil to pour in Camry is a very relevant question. The manufacturing company produces not only cars, but also fluids for them. When purchasing branded products, you do not have to worry about product compatibility, but not everyone can buy original products. Camry does just fine with other synthetic oils, which have viscosities of 5W-30 and 5W-40.
Toyota Genuine Motor Oil is original; which oil is better among analogues, it is worth considering. There are a lot of brands, but it is better to cast in Camry products from trusted manufacturers who guarantee high quality goods. You can use Lukoil engine oil with a viscosity of 5W40, but you will have to change it more often than the factory one. The 2007 Camry V40 2.4 runs on the original Toyota 5W30 SM or SL. On the Russian market, the first option is more common, the second is usually offered unoriginal, therefore it is not recommended to contact him.
Causes of increased oil consumption
Each engine, during operation, consumes a certain amount of consumable fluid, if it is in good working order, this indicator is low and almost invisible, but the engine began to eat too much, which means that the Camry model is experiencing certain difficulties. Increased consumption does not appear by chance: it is recommended to diagnose the power unit, lost time can lead to serious damage, the correction of which will require serious financial costs.
When the engine is running, not all oil is removed by oil scraper rings and sent to the sump. A small part of it burns out: for example, for a Camry V40 2.4 produced in 2007 or a similar car with an engine capacity of 2.5 liters, natural consumption is 0.05% - 0.25% of the total amount of liquid.
Consumption on the new engine is practically not noticeable, on used cars, for example, 2007 and older, this process is more relevant, since natural wear and tear occurs, which is why the appetite of the power unit grows up a lot. If the engine is replaced regularly, but at the same time you have to pour more with enviable constancy, this means that you need to look for a malfunction. It can be of a simple or complex nature. The main causes of complex faults can be as follows:
- wear of piston rings. It occurs as a result of friction between parts. If the rings are worn, there will be a gap through which oil will escape through the exhaust system of the Camry V40 2.4. If the motor has been exposed to overheating, rings may be stuck. This can be seen from the exhaust, which has acquired a blue tint;
- cylinder walls can also wear out during vehicle operation. This element can be bored to a certain size or the entire block can be replaced. The first option is slightly cheaper;
- it happens that the Camry V40 2.4 eats oil due to a problem with the valve stem seals. These are oil seals that can lose elasticity. Replacing them is technically difficult, but relatively inexpensive. Complete disassembly of the car engine is not required;
- On a 2007 Camry, it is common for oil to drip from under the cylinder head gasket. A problem arises due to the age of the vehicle. New Camry's do not usually suffer from this problem, but it is recommended to check the bolt tightness anyway. If the machine is old, it is recommended to change the gasket. Over time, it burns out;
- increased flow can be caused by worn oil seals on the crankshaft. It happens that the oil seals are squeezed out. Replacing them is quite expensive. This part deteriorates most often due to low-quality engine oil, old age, low temperatures during operation;
- Camry has turbocharged engines: if such an engine starts to "eat" oil, the reason may lie in a worn bushing installed in the turbine rotor. In this case, the liquid evaporates very quickly and there is a risk of ruining the engine, since it runs dry;
- the oil filter can also cause leakage. You can find out about this just by looking under the car: you will see oil stains under it. This usually happens if, after a planned replacement on a Camry 40, the filter was not tightened correctly. It is not difficult to remedy the situation by simply tightening the filter properly;
- pay attention to the cylinder head cover, it happens that the leak starts from under it. It is tightened with bolts and does not always reach the end. Poor quality oil is another common reason for frequent oil changes. If you do not want to spend money on expensive oil, then you can buy Lukoil products - the price is affordable, while the quality is quite good. If the oil consumption after replacing it with a better one decreases, it means that the reason was precisely in the fluid manufacturer;
- affects oil consumption and how many revolutions the engine develops: the more, the more oil is required. That is why motorists with an aggressive driving style need not only change fluids more often, but also pour them more often.
How to change it yourself?
Toyota Camry oil change is required approximately every 10 thousand kilometers. This is the optimal time, during which a lot of dirt does not have time to accumulate, while the liquid is littered enough to work out. If you use a branded one, you can postpone the replacement for several thousand km, if Lukoil, it is better not to deviate in a big way.
You can change the engine oil if necessary in your own garage. To do this, you need to be well prepared, have the necessary tools, filters and gaskets, as well as a container for waste liquid.
The exact amount of oil required for replacement is indicated in the service book. If it is not there, you will need 2.4 - 4.3 liters for the motor, 2.5 - 4.4 liters for the motor.
The engine oil is changed according to the following scheme:
- the car is placed over a pit or driven onto an overpass. The engine must be pre-warmed up;
- after that, you need to remove the crankcase protection element, unscrew the drain plug, the oil will drain into the bucket provided. It will take about a quarter of an hour;
- then you need to replace the filter, tighten the drain plug by putting it back;
- refueling of a new one takes place through the cover on the engine, it is under the hood;
- check the fluid level, start the car, wait about a minute until the engine shows that it is working correctly, and turn it off again;
- at the very end, we re-check the oil. We do this after the engine has cooled down, if the level is insufficient, you need to top up. If there is a lot of liquid, you can leave it as it is, the car will squeeze out the excess itself.
The Camry XV40 car of the Japanese automaker Toyota can hardly be categorized unambiguously - it is an excellent representative of both business and middle class. In the lineup, the Camry sits between the Avalon and the Corolla and is built on the Toyota K platform. The sixth generation of the model was developed by a multinational team of engineers, and it was released between 2006 and 2011. Therefore, depending on the region, the car had its own characteristics. A modification close to the American one was officially imported into the Russian market: this is a 5-speed automatic and a mechanics with a 2.4-liter engine, or a 3.5-liter version with a 6-speed variator (information on the types of oil poured into them and its amount is below).
The 2009 facelift brought no major changes beyond a few cosmetic enhancements such as a chrome strip on the trunk, direction indicators on the side mirrors and a redesigned grille. Toyota Camry has a fairly moderate appetite for fuel, consuming in the combined cycle up to 10.8 liters per 100 km on the 2.4 version, up to 7.2 liters at 2.6 and up to 10.6 on the 3.5-liter version. The power of the models available on the domestic market varies from 167 to 272 hp.
The car was also produced in Russia. For this, factories were built together with Japan, where assembly was carried out under Toyota license. The model has a huge trunk (483 liters), good noise isolation and a high-quality audio system. 9 airbags are responsible for the safety of the driver and passengers. And, despite the fact that Camry XV40 can hardly claim the title of the most beautiful car, its internal content allows it to be deservedly considered one of the most comfortable and adequately evaluated in the price / quality category, which had a positive effect on sales. The release of the 40th version lasted until 2011, after which it was replaced by the 7th generation (XV-50).

Oil forToyotaCamry (2011-2014)
TOYOTA is a brand that symbolizes reliability and quality in the automotive world.
The reliability of TOYOTA cars is already legendary.
Cars of this brand are distinguished by their reliability, quality and continuity in the model range. Each new model makes a splash at exhibitions, and the old models change only the body indexes, without changing the name. In the Camry model, the continuity of generations is especially visible.
For more than a quarter of a century, starting from the 10th generation, TOYOTA, while maintaining continuity, has presented new generations of the CAMRY model. Today, the 5th generation is already represented on the market, which has received a registration and is produced at a plant in Shushary in Russia.
This made it possible to make the car cheaper while maintaining the high quality of workmanship.
The release of the 5th generation model in Russia imposed certain requirements on the use of certain engines, taking into account the region of operation. The TOYOTA company installs three engines of different sizes on this model. This allows us to take into account the interests of buyers in terms of the price of the car and its consumer characteristics. The engine range includes: 1AZ-FE (2.0 VVT-i, 148 HP), 2AR-FE (2.5 Dual VVT-i, 181 HP) and 2GR-FE (3.5 Dual VVT-i, 249 hp). These motors are reliable, economical and do not require special attention, if the recommendations of the manufacturer for their operation and maintenance are taken into account.
The specificity of the service is such that it is necessary to strictly adhere to the service interval of 10,000 km to change the engine oil and use high-quality engine oils of the corresponding specifications. Toyota Camry engines are very sensitive to oil quality. Factory recommendations combine the mandatory energy-saving properties of oil and stringent requirements to preserve the engine from wear. An important point is the compatibility of the oil additive package with modern neutralization systems.
Especially for Toyota engines, LIQUI MOLY has recommended products for use in almost all lines of motor oils for passenger cars. When choosing an engine oil for his car, the consumer can take into account not only the recommendations of the car manufacturer, but also take into account the peculiarities of operation.
In the premium line of Synthoil, we recommend paying attention to oils: Synthoil Longtime 0W-30 and Synthoil Energy 0W-40 oils have excellent low-temperature characteristics and are very relevant in regions with very cold climates.
The Optimal line, created taking into account Russian realities, is perfectly combined with a car adapted for operation in Russia. HC-synthetic motor oil Optimal HT Synth 5W-30 possesses excellent detergent properties, an additive package protects the engine from wear, and energy-saving technology saves fuel.
A branded line of Molygen New Generation oils for the consumer who wants to get the maximum drive from the car. HC-synthetic motor oil Molygen New Generation 5W-30 with proprietary Molygen antifriction additive package based on the latest Molecular Friction Control technology, allows you to provide maximum engine protection even in the most extreme conditions.
For the automatic transmission of the fifth generation Camry model, the use of a low-viscosity high-quality fluid that meets Toyota's specification: Type WS is required. The LIQUI MOLY company takes into account the specifics of the market and offers for this model HC-synthetic gear oil for automatic transmission Top Tec ATF 1800. For the convenience of customers, this product is available in 1 liter and 5 liter units.
Experience shows that using LIQUI MOLY products, you can even more significantly increase the reliability and service life of this model.
Automobile manufacturers pay great attention to consumables; all the necessary lubrication parameters are indicated in the operating instructions. Car enthusiasts, when choosing oils for the summer or winter, must take into account the requirements of the car manufacturers, otherwise the engine can quickly fail. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the parameters of the recommended engine oil for Toyota Camry.

Toyota Camry XV50 from 2011 release
2013 model According to the operating instructions, lubricant for Toyota Camry engines is an original Toyota car oil or lubricants from other companies that have the parameters required by the car manufacturer. The class, type and viscosity of the oil are determined by the type of engine.
Powertrains 6AR-FSE and 2AR-FE
According to the manual, it is necessary to fill in oils with a viscosity index of 0w-20, 5w-20, 5w-30 or 10w-30, corresponding to classes SL or SM with the designation "Energy Conserving" (energy saving) according to the API system. ILSAC certified multipurpose lubricants with a viscosity rating of 15w-40 are acceptable. You can also use motor oils of the SL, SN or SM groups according to the API system.
To select the viscosity depending on the temperature outside the machine, use diagram 5.
Scheme 5. Influence of air temperature on the selection of the viscosity of the motor oil. According to scheme 5, at extremely low temperatures, it is necessary to fill in lubricants 0w-20, 5w-20, 5w-30. Car oils with a viscosity parameter of 10w-30 or 15w-40 should be used if the thermometer reading is above -18 0 Otherwise, starting the motor will be difficult.
The volume of engine oil required when changing is 4.4 liters including the oil filter and 4.0 liters without changing the oil filter.
Car engines 2GR-FE
- SL or SM labeled "Energy Conserving";
- SN marked "Resource-Conserving".
It is also possible to pour in ILSAC certified greases with a viscosity rating of 15w-40, or use the oil groups SL, SM and SN with the recommended viscosity rating.
The viscosity parameter can be selected according to Scheme 6.
Scheme 6. Predicted temperature range until the next change of motor fluid. According to scheme 6, at extremely low temperatures, it is necessary to use 5w-30 lubricants, and with a thermometer reading above -18 0 С, pour 10w-30 or 15w-40.
The volume of engine fluid required when replacing is 6.1 liters with an oil filter change and 5.7 liters without an oil filter.
Conclusion
Using the recommended engine oil for Toyota Camry can increase the life of the engine and lubrication system. The fact is that the lubricant creates a protective film on the surface of the internal elements of the car engine, the properties of which depend on the quality parameters of the lubricant. The thicker the car oil, the thicker the protective film will be, such oils should be used for the summer, more liquid lubricants are used in the winter, they provide a cold start of the engine. When using inappropriate oil in terms of parameters, the film may break, the engine will start to run "dry" - this will lead to its breakdown.
When changing the lubricant, note:
- the manual indicates the reference volume of oil that will be needed when changing the lubricant, in real conditions it may differ slightly;
- overflow of motor oil above the maximum mark on the dipstick is unacceptable, therefore, after adding grease, it is necessary to check the level of the lubricant.
