Has anyone noticed a kind of clicking noise when their car gets between 9 and 10 mph? Coming from the front passenger side. This doesn't happen everytime I accelerate to 10 mph but it does happen anytime after my car has been off. Wanted to see if anyone else has heard this before I take to dealership for repair.

My oil cap on my camry shows 0w20 but when the toyota dealer changed the oil they put in 5w30. I questioned this and they said they were very similar. Is 5w30 ok to use in the 4-cylinder camry 2010 ? Thanks, Chris |

Replying to: chris789 (Oct 24, 2009 5:09 pm) My email> I am very disappointed in trying to get information from Toyota. After calling the toll free CA. number (800-331-4331) and local dealers I get various answers for the same question. Does Toyota have a number that I can call and talk to someone that honestly knows what they are talking about or do all representatives just read out of the manual? I just bought an 2010 Camry LE. I almost declined because I could not get my questions answered. 1. What motor oil to use? Calling the above number I have gotten 3 different answers. 0W-20,5W-20 and 5w-30. Why did I call 3 times? Because my closest dealer uses 5w-30 unless 0W-20 is requested.Another dealer did not have 0W-20. Calling the 800-331-4331 number and one time I was told if I don't use 0W-20 it will void the warranty and then same person talked with someone else and told me that that was incorrect, manual was incorrect and oil cap was incorrect. Why can't Toyota get the info correct for all parties involved? On one call I told rep that there is a Toyota Camry Forum and you can see the confusion on the forum> http://www.camryforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5346 People at the 800-331-4331 number told me they would post a official notice on the forum. I waited a week and called back to ask why there was nothing posted and this time I was told that Toyota does not post on forums. Meanwhile we are just as confused. I certainly don't want to spend $8.00 per qt of oil if not necessary. Finance officer where I bought the car from ''Quality Toyota'' said to use 0W-20. 2. I had to get a Camry with special radio or wait until end of October. I was told the car was on a boat coming from Japan. I questioned that the car was coming from Japan and was assured it was. Received car yesterday and another staff member told me it was made in Kentucky. So i ended up paying extra for a radio that I did not need. I was curious about one feature 'Vacuum Fluorescent Display' and tried to find info online. I was worried about the radio because I read online that Fluorescent Display was very bright and you could not dim the radio light. Once again I called the 800-331-4331 number. Person told me that the radio could not be dimmed. I called local dealer to see if they had one in stock so I could look at night. They did. They also told me that the radio light turned various colors.(Still trying to discover that feature)Anyway I drove the 55 mile round trip drive and checked the radio out w/salesperson. First thing he did was dim the dashboard light which in turn dimmed the radio, so it was not a problem but it would of been nice not of had to of bought upgraded radio. AM/FM CD player with integrated satellite radio [6], MP3/WMA playback capability, auxiliary audio jack, USB port with iPod® [7] connectivity, hands-free phone capability and music streaming via Bluetooth® [8] wireless technology, Vacuum Fluorescent Display, six speakers and in-glass antenna I need to be able to get competent answers for future questions and or problems. Everyone is still up in the air on the proper oil to use. a typical link on the subject> http://www.smartsynthetics.com/articles/5w20oil.htm My complaint is not about the dealership. I want competent answers to the oil question and future questions. Note; On this Better Assist You Q/A there is no 2010 CHOICE SO I HAD LEFT IT BLANK AND HAD TO RESEND BECAUSE OF TIMEOUT!!!! GOOD GRIEF!! Toyota Reply> Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. We appreciate your interest in the Camry and we are sorry for any confusion generated by our office. Our position regarding the oil directly conforms with what you have available in the Owner's Manual. Your vehicle, per our records, is a four-cylinder model. The four-cylinder is supplied from the factory with synthetic 0W-20 oil, and this is our primary recommendation. However, 5W-20 petroleum-based (conventional) oil may be used as well. The 5W-30 petroleum-based oil is recommended for the six-cylinder engine, which does not apply to your situation. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us via email or by calling 800-331-4331. We are available from 5 AM to 6 PM, Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, and from 7 AM to 4 PM Saturday. We have documented your comments at our National Headquarters. Robert Browning Toyota Customer Experience

Replying to: pixshooter (Oct 24, 2009 6:46 pm)  the dealer = 8.99. I have asked a service adviser what type of oil would a change need, see my post http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1910a4/412#MSG412 I don't know what he means with regular, must be 5w20 or 5w30 non synthetic. As for me, I would just stick to synthetic 0W20. May not try other brand than M1. I also noticed that the engine runs smoother with Shell rather than Mobil. This is both 87 octane. With other Shell that has ethanol mixed in, it's different like Mobil. That's just my experience. |

What kind of gas mileage are you 2010 Camry 4 cylinder owners getting? My first new car in 30 years. Is it supposed to be awful mpg during break in period? I drive very conservative and have been getting around 20-25 mpg. Only have around 800 miles on it so far. I'm waiting for that 30 plus mpg.
