5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

Yes, 210delray is correct - that's what your owner's manual says.

Toyota Acceleration Problems with Camry by jim_dandy

My brother inlaw was considering a Toyota until he found out about all these issues!
 
"Toyota issued the largest recall in company history, affecting 3.8 million vehicles dating back to 2004".
 
 http://www.leftlanenews.com/a-closer-look-at-toyotas-sudden-acceleration-problem- - - .html
 
They designed a car with out a kill switch and a poorly designed accelerator pedal, and then blame it on the car owner which installs a floormat and not aware of the 3 second kill delay?
Not so "Smart"
  
Here are some additional information about Toyota's quality and engineering practices:
  
"Consumer groups are watching and If the allegations are correct that Toyota destroyed or withheld (electronic) data, it has the potential to reopen hundreds of Toyota rollover cases."
  
http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2009-09-01-rollover-lawsuits-toyota_N.htm
  
"Consumers saddled with sludge-clogged Toyota engines may soon get some help from the Japanese auto giant under the terms of a class-action lawsuit settlement that covers roughly3.5 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles damaged by engine oil sludge."

Please list the cars with a "kill switch", in the order that you would recommend them, so we can all make better informed purchases.

The floormat thing is completely overblown. If you follow the directions (use the floor mat hooks and don't put a mat on top of another mat) you will have NO problems. I speak from experience of 3 years with my '07.
 
I had a car 10+ years ago (not a Toyota) that caused the accelerator pedal to get stuck down because the mats did not have hooks. This can happen to any car that uses cheap aftermarket floormats and no hooks. Why do all the makers have the hooks for mats? Should everyone recall them because people are not smart enough to use the hooks and/or follow directions? The dumbing-down of America!
 
The problem was the DEALER did not use the hooks, and they put a mat on top of another. Go after the dealer, not Toyota.
 
But, whatever, tell him to buy a Chevy. I see you posted this in the Corolla section too - I guess he was interested in a Corolla too?

Yeah, just tell him to buy a Buick with the 3.8-liter V6, plastic intake manifold, and Dex-Clog.

I finally got another fill up after 300 plus miles and this time got 31 mpg. Mostly city driving and some interstate. I am probably a little driving faster and taking off from dead stop a little faster then I thought I was doing, because the car drives so smooth. I noticed I was cruising at 70 on the interstate and it felt like I was going 55. I am now at 900 miles, so my break in period will be over before I go to the mountains next week.

I was recently told (hearsay) that some cars now have a "kill switch" in that if you even lightly touch the brake pedal DBW is used to instantly drop the engine to idle.
 
Good, GREAT idea that's been too long coming....
 
But frankly these new cars that do not use an ignition key probably do need a "kill switch"...!!

Basically, the Avalon and the Camry have the same oil filter cartridge/housing.
In the Youtube video, the plastic tube was not used.
 
Here's a more detailed procedure why the need for the tube during oil change.
I found this from another forum and please save the pdf in your hard drive.
