How Often Should You Change Your Oil TOYOTA Camry VI Saloon (_V4_) (01.2006 - 12.2014)

Hello!
You can change the oil at your own discretion, but not exceeding the manufacturer's recommendations. The more often the oil and filter are changed, the cleaner your engine will be and will last longer. Much depends on how much the car works, and in what conditions, especially the quality of air and fuel. Changing the oil no later than 10 thousand km will be the right decision.

For your 2007 Toyota Camry, the official maintenance schedule recommends changing the engine oil and oil filter every 5,000 miles (approximately 8,000 km) or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions. For example, under normal conditions, oil changes are advised every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or 12 to 18 months, but more frequent changes (around every 5,000 miles or 6 months) are recommended if you drive in severe conditions such as heavy traffic, dusty roads, or frequent short trips.

Regarding the type of oil suitable for UK weather, synthetic oils with viscosities like 0W-20 or 5W-20 are generally recommended for the Camry's 2.4L engine. Synthetic oils such as Mobil 1, Castrol Syntec, or Shell synthetic oils are good choices as they provide better engine protection and maintain performance in varying temperatures typical of the UK climate. Using a high-quality oil filter, preferably genuine Toyota or well-known brands like Wix, is also advised.

In summary:

Change oil and filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months for severe conditions; otherwise, every 10,000-15,000 miles or 12-18 months.

Use synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-20 oil for optimal performance in UK weather.

Choose reputable synthetic oil brands like Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec.

Use a high-quality oil filter, preferably genuine Toyota or equivalent.

Following this schedule and oil type will help maintain your Camry’s engine health and performance over time.
