Quick answer: the 2018–2023 Toyota Camry 2.5L takes 4.8 US qt (4.5 L) of oil with a filter change, the 2024 Camry 2.5L takes 4.5 US qt (4.3 L), and the 3.5L V6 takes 5.7 US qt (5.4 L). Toyota specifies 0W-16 for the 2.5L and 0W-20 for the V6.
| Engine | Oil capacity (with filter) | Without filter | Oil type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5L 4-cylinder (A25A-FKS), 2018–2023 | 4.8 US qt (4.5 L) | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 0W-16 |
| 2.5L 4-cylinder (A25A-FKS), 2024 | 4.5 US qt (4.3 L) | 4.2 US qt (4.0 L) | 0W-16 |
| 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS) | 5.7 US qt (5.4 L) | 5.6 US qt (5.3 L) | 0W-20 |
The two engines use different oil. The 2.5L 4-cylinder is specified for 0W-16 and the V6 for 0W-20. And the 2024 manual lowers the 2.5L capacity to 4.5 quarts.

We read the Specifications pages of all eight owner’s manuals Toyota publishes for 2018–2024 (2018 has two, split by production date).
Recommended oil type
2.5L 4-cylinder (A25A-FKS): Toyota Genuine Motor Oil or equivalent in SAE 0W-16. If 0W-16 is not available, 0W-20 may be used, but it must be replaced with 0W-16 at the next oil change.
3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS): SAE 0W-20. If 0W-20 is not available, 5W-20 may be used, but it must be replaced with 0W-20 at the next oil change.
The oil grade listed in the manuals moves from API SN/RC and ILSAC GF-5 (2018–2021) to ILSAC GF-6A/GF-6B (2022–2024). Any current oil with the ILSAC certification mark and the right viscosity meets the requirement.
How to reset the maintenance required light on the 2018–2024 Toyota Camry
See also: Toyota maintenance required light reset for all models.
This is the procedure in the 2018 Camry owner’s manual for cars with the maintenance message (on some models).
- With the engine running (or the power switch ON), use the meter control switches on the steering wheel to open the settings screen on the multi-information display.
- Select Vehicle Settings.
- Select Scheduled Maintenance.
- Select Yes. A message confirms that the reset is complete.
Oil change tips
- 2.5L: one 5-quart jug covers a change with a new filter.
- 3.5L V6: have 6 quarts on hand.
- Do not mix up the grades: 0W-16 for the 4-cylinder, 0W-20 for the V6.
- Do not overfill. Toyota’s manuals tell you to warm up the engine, turn it off, wait about 5 minutes and then check the level on the dipstick.
