Good maintenance is what keeps a car, bike or truck safe and reliable and slows depreciation of the value.

Breakdowns can't be planned, they are never convenient and usually cost more to put right than can easily be afforded. Good maintenance can virtually eliminate breakdowns and the really good news is maintenance can be planned.

It is true that oil changes are important but there is much, much more to good maintenance than an oil change, in fact modern engines are so clean the oil change has lost much of it's traditional importance and moved down the list considerably.

I advise you to begin your car ownership as you mean to continue - by doing your best for your car. I suggest you begin by investing in a Haynes manual or similar for your car. The first couple of chapters cover maintenance schedules and how to complete each item and also provides valuable technical information such as oil grades, quantities and almost everything you will need to know.

Oil filters aren't expensive so if there is doubt about which to buy why not buy both sale or return.
Choose your brand of oil and there will be an application catalogue that will tell you the grade of oil and the quantity you need.

Good luck!

Quantity of motor oil for replace

If you are replacing the oil yourself, you'll need to purchase this as well as the filter at a parts dealer. There, they will be able to tell you exactly how much oil it will need.

For a V6 = about 5-6 quarts

For a V8 = about 6-7 quarts

See you local dealer, or local parts dealer for exact amounts.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Where is the oil filter located on 2010 camy?

The oil filters on the 2010 Camry product are no longher 'spin-on' filters. The new style of filter being used are the 'cartridge' type. The filter is in an aluminum cylinder, under the engine. Toyota recommends the use of a special tool to remove the cartridge cylinder. Also note that you need to use the exact oil specified for your car. If you do not, your variable valve timing will not work properly, and you check engine light will come on. If the car specifies to use full-synthetic, you should not use anything else.

How much oil it needs a 2000 vw beetle with motor 2.0 L and what oil it needs 140000 miles

Hi,

Recommend you change filter also, every 7,500 miles.

Quantity needed: 4.2 qts
Oil type: look for an API rating of "SJ" or better

Your selection of oil is really dependent on the temperatures the vehicle will endure, during the life of this oil change (i.e. is it winter or summer).

So, with this in mind you should select your oil, based on the following temperature chart:

4.4 quarts, 4.6 quarts with oil filter change

NOTE these are updated capacities that reflect changes identified in TSB: TSB-0134-08 issued July 15, 2008.

Engine oil change - Quantity

Its 3 1/2 Quarts, but you might as well put a full 4 quarts in if it goes through that much. make sure you change the filter aswell! dirty oil will not cause your engine to go through it any faster. Is the oil leaking or is the engine burning it?

Can a screw on type oil filter replace factory element type?

I would not change anything on your 2009 vehicle until it is out of warranty. If something goes wrong the dealer could deny warranty coverage. I know of no one making a converion kit to a spin on filter. Many auto makers are going to cartridge style oil filters that cost more. Most auto parts store carry you filter.

Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!

07 camry oil filter location v6

The oil filter is no longer a "spin-on" type filter. Toyota has changed to the "cartridge" type filters that are in a cylindrical housing on the engine. You need to remove the filter housing to access the cartridge. Make sure that you replace the o-rings that come out with the cartridge filter with the new ones supplied in the new filter box. To reset the light, follow these directions:

Turn the key ON, do not start the engine.

Look at the odometer, and verify that it displays "TRIP A". If it is on "ODO" or "Trip B", press the black stick next to the odometer to read "TRIP A".

Turn the key OFF.

Press in, and HOLD the black trip meter reset button, hold it IN.
DO not release it.

Turn the key ON, do not start the engine

Observe the Odometer display. You will see 5 dashes, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 dash, and finally, 5 zeros. Then, whatever number that was displayed on "TRIP A" will be re-displayed..

Now release the black trip meter reset stick.

This completes the reset procedure, and it will be back on in 5,000 miles, to remind you of you next oil change.
