I don't know the oil capacity for my 2001 camry and i need to change the oil

eather u stoped up a oil drain or unpluged the sending unit

Your gas tank should hold about 13.1 gal.s I believe and your oil for a oil change including filter is 4 quarts only....don't overfill! I own one so I know.

Hi there. 4 qt's for motor.5 for filter.There are 4 ways to fix this. # 1.If your oil filter is in vertical position,remove it with a band tool and drain it or replace it with new filter.Use new oil for gasket and make sure old gasket isn't stuck on motor.Please use 3 ton jack stands to support car on the frame. # 2.Use a box end wrench to loosen oil drain nut and loosen a little at a time until the oil stops dripping and turns in to a stream,close it once in a while and check level.If you don't know how many threads are on the plug best to let it drip. # 3.buy a dip stick oil changer and change oil with a tube down the dipstick tube.This one comes from a marine supply and is a bit pricey at $70.00 + tax but is safer than under the car work.Called a big boy. Auto parts store will have these tools as well,some will drain your transmission and then you can change the filter with out all the mess.(filter is inside the transmission pan,no drain plug)..........Thank You for choosing FixYa.

I would suggest with that question, you would be
better off continuing to have the oil changed,
where ever you have been doing it

You must know you would have to raise the
car up somehow & need at least an oil filter
tool or cup & several other tools

I just don't see it worth your while to get
involved.

It has a capacity of 5 quarts of SAE 5W30 oil with filter change. The cooling system capacity is 2 3/4 gallon of a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. The 40T40E transmission/torque converter holds a total capacity of 12.9 quarts or 6.9 quarts to just drain the pan and replace the fluid.

I believe you want to know engine oil capacity? It is 5 and 3/4 quarts, which includes the oil filter. The gas tank capacity is 25.6 gallons.

If you have the 4.7 liter  V8 with the engine code (N) 5W-30 If you have the 2.5 liter, 3.9 liter, 5.9 liter 10W30 but 5W-30 can be used under cold climate condition. (Alaska)
Capacity with filter 4.7 engine 5.7 liters of oil Capacity with filter 2.5 engine 4.3 liters of oil Capacity with filter 3.9 engine 3.8 liters of oil Capacity with filter 5.9 engine 4.7 liters of oil
Good luck and hope this helps.

the engine takes 4qts w/filter and the drain plug is 17mm.

Complain to Toyota, they are fixing some of these car for free. Here is the explanation and the list of problem vehicles.

Oil sludge or black sludge is a solid or gel in motor oil caused by the oil gelling or solidifying, usually at temperatures lower than 100 degrees Celsius. Sludge can be a major contributor to Internal combustion engine problems, and can require the engine to be replaced, if the damage is severe. Sludge is usually caused by the presence of water in the oil, and can accumulate with use. Ways to minimize sludge production and accumulation includes performing frequent oil changes, using synthetic oil, and following the manufacturer's engine maintenance routine.
The following engines were reported by the Center for Auto Safety and/or their manufacturers to have a problem with sludge accumulation:
