I want to start changing the oil in my car myself to save a little extra money. What type of oil should I use in a 2000 Toyota Camry?

Good thinking! It’s always nice to save some money.
A 2000
Toyota Camry’s
oil type is SAE 5W-30. The car will require 3.8 quarts of oil if it has an inline-four engine and 5 quarts if it has a V6.
Experts suggest using synthetic motor oil over conventional oil when performing an oil change on your Toyota Camry because:
  • Synthetic oil flows quicker to critical parts of the engine and provides more protection to engine components.
  • Synthetic oils keep your engine cleaner because they don’t break down and form deposits like conventional oil.
  • Synthetic oil is more stable at high and low temperatures.
Not to mention, synthetic oil lasts longer, so you’ll have more time in between engine changes—score!
Another way to save a little extra dough is to shop for better-priced
