Toyota Camry Maintenance Schedule – 2018–2024

19 min read

The complete 8th-gen (XV70) Toyota Camry maintenance schedule for 2018–2024—covering the 2.5L four-cylinder, Camry Hybrid, and 3.5L V6 with factory intervals, OEM part numbers, and what changes when most of your driving is short trips. Track gas and Hybrid items separately in Carmainty so filters and coolants never get mixed up.

Confirm your powertrain before ordering parts. The 2.5L gas, Hybrid, and V6 Camry do not all share the same engine air filter or oil filter style—and the cabin filter for XV70 (87139-0E040) is not the older 87139-07010. Check the engine bay label, build plate, or window sticker first.

Quick reference

Toyota Camry maintenance schedule 2018–2024 at a glance

Toyota still wants a look every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) / 6 months. Oil often lands near 10,000 miles (16,000 km) on the flexible schedule under easy driving—many owners still prefer 5,000–7,500 miles (8,000–12,000 km) for short-trip life. Everything else stacks onto those visits. See the severe-use section if most of your trips are under 10 miles (16 km).

Engine-specific — don’t mix up your parts

Camry oil change guide by engine (2018–2024)

Three powertrains, two oil filter styles, and two different engine air filters. The 2.5L and Hybrid share the same oil filter, but the Hybrid uses its own airbox element—and the V6 is cartridge-style.

Always check OEM part numbers against your VIN before ordering—cross-reference with your Toyota dealer or https://autoparts.toyota.com/. 2025+ Camrys and older XV50 cars differ. Confirm engine (2.5L / V6 / Hybrid) before ordering.

Detailed schedule

Every service, every part number

Expand each item for OEM numbers, capacities, and owner notes. Always confirm fitment for your year, engine, and drivetrain.

Every 5,000–10,000 miles (8,000–16,000 km) / 6–12 months

Engine oil & filter

Most 2018–2024 Camry 2.5L and Hybrid models specify 0W-20 full synthetic. Capacity is commonly around 4.8 qt (4.5 L) with filter on the A25A family—confirm using the dipstick procedure in your manual rather than trusting a number from a forum.

Toyota’s service reminder asks for a visit every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months. Oil itself often stretches toward 10,000 miles (16,000 km) on the flexible schedule with highway driving, but short trips, cold climates, and idling in traffic all argue for 5,000–7,500 miles (8,000–12,000 km).

Every oil service

Tire rotation & brake inspection

Rotate on schedule to even wear. AWD Camrys need matched tread depths across axles to protect the driveline. Measure tread at each rotation and note pressure—Camry TPMS thresholds are sensitive to seasonal temperature swings.

Inspect pads and rotors at least every six months. Hybrids lean on regenerative braking so pads can last far longer, but that also means rotors can rust and glaze—inspect them rather than assuming they’re fine.

Snap a photo of tread wear into Carmainty when you rotate—helpful at trade-in time.

Every 15,000–20,000 miles (24,000–32,000 km)

Cabin air filter

Replace yearly if you drive in pollen-heavy or dusty areas even if miles are low. Signs it’s overdue: weak HVAC airflow, musty smell on startup, or a gray filter when you pull it from behind the glove box.

  • OEM cabin filter (XV70 charcoal)87139-0E040

    2018–2024 Camry / Camry Hybrid deodorant filter.

87139-07010 is an older XV40/XV50 part—do not order it for an XV70 Camry.

Every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)

Engine air filter

Inspect earlier in dusty climates or after wildfire smoke. A dirty element costs throttle response and fuel economy. Gas and Hybrid airboxes differ, so keep separate part numbers in your records.

  • OEM engine air filter (2.5L gas)17801-F0050

    Common A25A-FKS gas filter. Supersedes 17801-25020.

  • OEM engine air filter (Hybrid)17801-F0020

    Camry Hybrid airbox—different from gas. Confirm Japan/US build if needed.

Inspect ~60k · replace by ~120k

Spark plugs

Iridium plugs last a long time. Hybrids and gas 2.5L share long intervals—still inspect if you feel misfires, hear rough idle, or see fuel economy drop. Plugs for the V6 follow the same part number but you need six instead of four.

  • OEM iridium spark plug90919-01290

    DENSO FK20HR-Q11 · qty 4 on 2.5L / Hybrid · qty 6 on V6 · gap ~0.043 in (1.1 mm).

Do not re-gap iridium tips.

~100,000 miles (160,000 km)

Coolant (and Hybrid extras)

Use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC)—pink/red only. Do not mix with green universal coolant. Toyota’s first service is commonly around 100,000 miles (160,000 km), then roughly every 50,000 miles (80,000 km) or 5 years afterward—check your manual for your exact year.

Hybrids add inverter coolant on a separate clock. It’s easy to forget because it doesn’t share the engine coolant reservoir—log both in Carmainty.

If the coolant is brown or you see oily residue in the reservoir, stop and inspect before topping off.

Severe use / high mileage

Brake fluid, transmission & AWD fluids

Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Inspect every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) and replace when contaminated or every 2–3 years if you see a spongy pedal or live in a humid climate. Hybrids hide brake wear through regen, so fluid age matters more than pad thickness.

The 8-speed automatic uses Toyota ATF WS and is often marketed as maintenance-free. For short trips, heat cycles, or towing a small trailer, many owners service it near 60,000 miles (96,000 km)—confirm fill procedure with your dealer.

If most of your trips are under 10 miles (16 km)

Short-trip & severe use maintenance schedule

Toyota’s normal schedule assumes engine and transmission reach full operating temperature. Short trips, extreme cold or heat, stop-and-go traffic, and dusty roads count as severe use—and condensation and fuel dilution in the oil are the biggest hidden costs.

Short trips are the most common reason a Camry’s oil looks worse than its mileage suggests. If the car rarely hits full operating temperature, treat 5,000 miles (8,000 km)—or 6 months—as the real oil interval rather than waiting for 10,000.

Camry Hybrid — LE, SE, XLE

Camry Hybrid maintenance notes

Camry Hybrid shares the same 0W-20 oil, 90915-YZZN1 filter, and 90919-01290 plugs as the gas 2.5L, but the hybrid system adds its own checks and a different engine air filter (17801-F0020).

The gas engine cycles on and off, so oil hours are often fewer than miles suggest—but short trips still leave moisture in the crankcase. Don’t stretch oil intervals just because it’s a hybrid.

Hybrid inverter coolant is a separate fluid and service from engine coolant. Skipping it is a common cause of expensive inverter and power-electronics problems. Log it as its own reminder in Carmainty.

Frequently asked questions

What oil does a 2018–2024 Camry take?

Usually 0W-20 full synthetic for the 2.5L gas, Hybrid, and V6. Confirm capacity and the dipstick procedure in the manual—about 4.8 qt (4.5 L) is common with filter on the 2.5L. The V6 uses cartridge filter 04152-YZZA1 instead of the spin-on 90915-YZZN1.

How often should I service a Camry?

Toyota recommends a visit every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months. Oil replacement often aligns with 5,000–10,000 miles (8,000–16,000 km) depending on the flexible schedule and how you drive. If your trips are mostly short, plan on 5,000 miles (8,000 km).

What is the Camry oil filter part number?

For the 2.5L gas and Hybrid, the OEM filter is 90915-YZZN1 (it supersedes 90915-10009 and 90915-YZZF2). Replace the drain plug washer 90430-12031 every change. The V6 uses cartridge 04152-YZZA1. Confirm by VIN on https://autoparts.toyota.com/.

What cabin air filter fits a 2018–2024 Camry?

XV70 Camrys use 87139-0E040 (gas and Hybrid). Do not order 87139-07010—that is an older XV40/XV50 number. Replace every 15,000–20,000 miles (24,000–32,000 km) or yearly.

What engine air filter does a Camry use?

2.5L gas: 17801-F0050 (supersedes 17801-25020). Hybrid: 17801-F0020 because the airbox differs. Replace about every 30,000 miles (48,000 km), sooner in dusty areas. V6 owners should confirm the number by VIN.

What spark plugs does a 2018–2024 Camry use?

OEM iridium plug 90919-01290 (DENSO FK20HR-Q11), quantity 4 on 2.5L / Hybrid and 6 on the V6, gapped at about 0.043 in. Inspect around 60,000 miles (96,000 km); replace by about 120,000 or sooner if misfires or poor economy appear. Do not re-gap iridium tips.

Do Hybrid Camrys need extra maintenance?

Same core oil, filter, and tire habits, plus inverter coolant on its own schedule, hybrid-system inspections, and the Hybrid-specific engine air filter 17801-F0020. Brake pads often last longer thanks to regen, but fluid and rotor condition still matter.

What coolant does a Camry use?

Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (pink/red). Don’t mix it with green universal coolant. The first change is commonly around 100,000 miles (160,000 km), then roughly every 50,000 miles (80,000 km) / 5 years—verify for your year.

Is there an app to track this Toyota Camry schedule?

Yes—Carmainty lets you log mileage, set reminders for each interval on this page, attach receipts, and track multiple vehicles. Free to download on the App Store and Google Play.
