The suggested oil type for a 2007 Toyota Camry is SAE 5w-30 with a capacity of 4.5 quarts. It's advised to replace the oil and filter every 7,500 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, in order to enhance engine life, improve gas mileage, and optimize performance. Regular oil changes help eliminate debris and sludge from the engine to prevent potential issues. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine problems as the oil becomes thinner and more abrasive over time, causing wear on crucial engine components. Synthetic oil is highly recommended for better performance as it reduces friction levels and protects the engine effectively.
In the 2007 Toyota Camry, the 2.4L inline-4 engine with code 2AZ-FXE X requires 4.5 quarts of synthetic oil, either 0W20 or 5W20. Another 2.4L inline-4 engine with code 2AZ-FE 4 also needs 4.5 quarts of synthetic oil, preferably 0W20 but 5W20 is acceptable. If you have the 3.5L V6 engine option in your 2007 Camry, it will take 6.4 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil.
I have a 2007 Camry SE 2.4L, and I've stuck with using 0W20 Toyota synthetic oil for over a decade. My engine still runs smoothly with increased power and improved fuel efficiency. Since we only drive around 3000 miles per year, I opt for the Fram XG4386 oil filter, which is rated for up to 24 months or 15,000 miles. I make sure to change both the oil and filter, as well as the air filters, every two years.
