#441 of 596 2009 Camry LE Oil Change by junghyun85 Jul 12, 2008 (7:54 pm)
I have a quick question about oil change for 09 Camry.   From automobile shops such as Firestone and Jiffy Lube, I was often told that regular oil's duration was 3 months / 3000 miles and Synthetic was around 5000-6000 miles.   Can someone clarify on this information? On Camry's maintenance schedule, it says once every 5000 miles. Is this assuming that I do synthetic oil change every time which costs a lot more? Or is it okay to go 5000 miles with regular oil.

Replying to: junghyun85 (Jul 12, 2008 7:54 pm) I see no reason why you can't go 5,000 on regular quality oil that meets manufacturer's specification. That's what modern engines do nowadays. 3,000 mile intervals are not necessarily foolish but seem wasteful to me on such a new car. Once the car ages and rolls over 80K or so, a shorter interval might make more sense.   Unless you are using the car in some "severe service" situation, 5K changes should be just fine.

Replying to: junghyun85 (Jul 12, 2008 7:54 pm) Shifty is right; 5000K miles is per the owner's manual and is based on using conventional oil. If you're a low-mileage driver, change the oil every 6 months (even if you haven't accumulated 5k miles).

Is there a particular brand I should look for..GE. Sylvania etc. One is out (after 6.5 years). Should I just repalce both? If I replace one will it burn brighter than the other? Thanks! Replies to this message: nmeehan (Jul 25, 2008 8:17 am)

Replying to: andrelaplume (Jul 25, 2008 4:30 am) The one that came with your car is 50 watt the replacement is 55 watts,replace the 2 and keep old one that is still good as emergency replacement.
