What type of oil does the 2005 Toyota Camry need?

Do all cars use the same oil, or do I need to buy something specifically for my 2005 Toyota Camry? I’ve been trying to learn about car maintenance to save money on repairs.

The 2005
Toyota Camry
needs SAE 5W-30 grade synthetic engine oil. This is one of the most common types of engine oil, so you can find it at most auto parts stores. You might even be able to find it at a gas station.
It’s really important to purchase specifically 5W-30 oil for your Camry. While it might be tempting to get a different oil option, your car needs oil with the correct viscosity grade in order to function properly.
