I thought waiting for after the C4C. How long should I wait?
...late Nov. or Dec.
Besides, with the reliability of the Toyota, do you really need the warranty?
I agree. The probability of actually having to use the 100K from what I've read is pretty low. But, if it provides peace of mind then it's worth it.
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change.
I will get my first oil change when I reach 5k from the dealer.
Does the 2010 Camry come from factory with synthetic 0W20?
Will using 5W20 void the warranty? I would later do the oil change myself.
I doubt if the dealer will use the synthetic instead of regular.
This remains to be seen.
THIS IS WRONG! It says 0W-20 on the cap of 2010 Camry I4s. You must have a 2009 or earlier with the 2.4L engine. 2010's have a 2.5L.
I agree that the manufacturers are going to 0W20 for CAFE and EPA purposes, but I would NOT take the risk of running 5W-20. If a problem with the engine occurred, and they see that you used 5W-20, they could very easily deny coverage. Also, they will deny coverage if you do not change your oil at 5,000 mile intervals.
If you are willing to take the risk, go for it, but the manual says 0W-20 on 5,000 mile changes.
I verified again and it is 0W20. So it's synthetic oil for me.
When I get the 1st oil change from the dealer I will make sure they put synth...
not dino oil. After that, I will DIY every 5,000 with orig Toy filter.
Thanks.
Worse yet is to drive away only to later find that your engine is filled with ~5 qts of "used" AND YOUR 5 qts.
Is this the by product of the Recycled Oil that we turn in to Autozone
Pep Boys and Kragen?
Toyota would be taking a risk with their cars. Unbelievable.

I bought mine from Pepboys.
Do They care? They should its their warranty on the line
FYI Volkswagen TDI recommended oil intervals are 10,000 miles on synthetic.

2010 Toyota Camry Spoiler Painted
RK Sport It may fit the 2010.
A/C is not as cold as I think it should be. I'm taking it into the dealer this morning and will post outcome.
I have had Nissan's previously and this is my first Toyota. Like the heavy feel and very roomy cabin. And at 0 % for 5 years that's hard to beat.
Just need a cooler A/C system.
Pep Boys has it 6.99. Now I know where to go if the Toyota OEM oil is expensive.
I agree about the spoiler spoiling the car. Hurts rear visability and breaks up the natural lines of the car. California won't allow a small gps on the windshield, but it is OK to block a large portion of your rear view with a spoiler.
They also hurt fuel economy.
For the 2007-2009 I4 Camrys, 5w-20 is available in synthetic and dino just about anywhere.
The solution is to turn the steering wheel hard in the direction the wheels are turned while at the same time engaging the ignition and the key will be allowed to turn in the column and the car will start.
Has anyone out there heard about this or experienced the same?

You may be correct, it's only a Lexus dealer that I know for sure sells re-refined engine oil.
Seriously, check out the Fusion before you put any money down, you may like it more, or you may not, but at least you wont be wondering "what if".
I have read in other year Camry forums this has been a problem in prior year models.
It's not consistent enough yet to take in as it might not present itself on the test drive. I have a recording of it and have offered to send it to the service department but they are uninterested.
Any idea what that rattle could be?
This is why I do my own maintenance, I can do all that in my driveway and save $90.
Do yourself a favor, find a reputable mechanic and save yourself some money. Heck even a local Goodyear tire store can do all that for you and cost maybe only half as much.
The dealers around my area only use regular oil and I usually get their $24.99 coupons w/ free wash, no tire rotation.
I just decided to live with it because I don't want the dealer dismentle the whole dashboard for troubleshooting. Dismentling the whole dash will losen up things inside and may worsen the problem.
I posted previously about the seat noise, it is coming back with the newly replaced seat.
I think Toyota has to address these quality issues for the furture design/production. My trust to Toyota is fading. I am not sure if these quality issues are the result of cost cutting and trying to stay compatitive in this seden market segment.
