Problem with this car you have to buy a new block, can't just rebuild from whatbi understand! I currently have a 2010 camry le 4 cylinder with 63000 miles it only had 45 thousand when I bought it a year ago. Previous owner did oil changes every 6 months and I'm doing them every 3500 miles so we will see how long until I burn oil too!

Recently bought an '09 LE with the optional 3.5 liters 2GR-FE V6 and leather seats. I was expecting from this car basic transportation with a smooth engine, but my expectations were blown away and I fell in love. That V6 has truly impressive power and fuel economy, and the leather seats are so comfy.

The last manual camry...give that thing some engine love and that transmission won't let you down

I’ve always loved simple cars like this. Sometimes I just go to dealership backlots and just check out all the older cars that are going to auction, and plus, I find money sometimes!

I didn't realise there were manual transmission versions in this generation of Camrys. Would buy this car

I got my XLE for under $8k used and have put 75k miles on it and only had to replace a wheel bearing and a coil pack. I just drove it 500 miles on vacation and was smooth and quiet like new. The 300hp (originally, not now obviously) 3.5l blows a lot of people away how strong it pulls. We just paid it off and am totally glad we chose this car.

The newer Camry with the 3.5 V6 is quite a fast car, the engine producing around 300hp and a top speed of just over 210 kph or 130 mph. When the Holden Commodore ceased production here in Australia and was no longer producing cars for police departments some states were using them for highway patrol vehicles.

I’m an car enthusiast and I have one as a daily. 2010 LE i4 181k miles. It’s been dead reliable. Doesn’t even burn or leak a drop. I recently did a bunch of service just bc I know I’m gonna be driving it more and will be keeping it for awhile. No leaks from the water pump but I had to replace the alternator so I did the water pump also. I even went oem Aisen pump. Wasn’t much more money. The last one lasted 180k so I’m sticking with Oem. I feel the same with my Camry. I don’t have to worry about it. Take off the other 3 hubcaps. These cars are solid. I had an 09 Accord 2.4L EX-L highest model sedan. And that car was not as reliable as the Camry. Yes it handled better. Yes it was slightly more fun than the Camry but the Camry is much better for daily driving. I do change the oil every 5000 miles not 10,000 miles. I do use full synthetic. Swap a used engine IMO. Get one with low miles. The cars clean no rust. Great daily.

You did a fine job discussing that Camry, I liked your video. I have that exact same car CE in Super White. I had my oil cap sealed for a year doing an oil consumption test.. I failed the test I had about 49000 miles on the car I think. I got in on that warranty enhancement just before it ended. I had new pistons and rings put in and I had a melting dash and steering wheel also under warranty enhancement which was replaced. I think the work was done in early 2017. My car is now about 15 years and 2 months and I only need oil when the oil is changed. I have the 5 speed manual transmission and I do not have ABS which I have heard can be a problem on this car. So….fingers crossed. I now have a little over 58000 miles.

Another awesome video! I've driven two Toyota Camrys, and owned one of them. I drove a 1991 Toyota Camry with a V6 engine, which gave plenty of get up and go. I also drove *(and owned)* a 1987-88 Toyota Camry station wagon. It didn't have a V6 engine, and therefore didn't have the get up and go as the V6 powered Camry had. But I loved driving it.

Be sure the pvc valve is good. Use the best STRAIGHTWEIGHT oil you can. Use synthetic straight weight oil . The 2.4 is known for piston ring seating / wear issues.... sometimes a more viscous oil won’t blow by the rings as easily. Also keep your engine rpm’s as low as possible.

Check the head gasketseals, that's where mine was leaking. I haven't had one issue since. I have a 09 LE 2.4. Also 4k oil changes are a must. I am not leaking any , burning about 1/4 of a quarter of oil every 4-5k that is normal with any higher mileage engine.

Back in my country (Indonesia) the highest trim is 3.5 Q, it got even massage seats and electrically reclining rear seats. Second hand model cost the same as standard 2.4 G or V model since people are afraid of it.

I had 2011 Camry LE 32k miles and I used it for about 7 years with a lot of road trips from the west coast to the east coast ( back and forth) once, never have any issue with it at all and it was very smooth. I sold it and it had 166K miles.

I have an 09 SE with the 4clyinder and 5speed...I replaced my starter last year also, the battery is original though, with 165,000 miles. I agree with you on the pluses, very roomy, and it gets over 30MPG on the highway. The minuses are there also, very noisey engine, even with the insulation. Wish it was a 6 speed, the poor squirrels are screaming anything over 70MPH. Performance is sluggish at best, even with the 5 speed. I am a bit of a maintenance freak, so have lucked out on the oil issue. I have always changed the oil very frequently, and use an additive that seems to have helped keep those oil passages from plugging up on the misdesigned pistons... I can usually go through my 3000 mile oil change interval without having to add a quart. Are you friendly with any of the Toyota dealers service shop personnel? The reason I ask is because I'm sure they have an "assembly line" technique to replacing those pistons because they have done so many. Most Toyota shops can do this job in half the time a regular service shop would take and charge for...Plus, the Toyota shop has had plenty of experience doing this job over and over again...So, perhaps they can do the job and the labor won't be so bad because they have figured out how to do the job relatively quickly. There are a lot of variables here to consider though....Just cuz it is a Toyota shop, doesn't mean they have great technicians, and oftentimes the most inexperienced/lowest paid technicians are assigned these low paying flat rate jobs. But, if you have a decent relationship with a decent Toyota shop, perhaps they will be willing to help out and cut you a break on the normal labor charges for this job. Maybe one of the Toyota techs does this stuff "on the side"... The other issue is what the tech will find when he pulls the engine down...No sense slapping new pistons in oversize/egg shaped cylinders...Maybe there is crank bearing damage/wear. Perhaps the head needs work. So, he may get the engine apart, then tell you it needs all sorts of other work which costs much more...Now you are stuck, you surely don't want to speed $5K on an complete "engine rebuild". I have often wondered how Toyota handles these possible issues while doing the warranty jobs on other Camrys with under 150K miles...Who pays for extra work the engine might need? Unfortunately, I'm guessing the engine is slapped back together the way it is with the new pistons most of the time... I'm sure Toyota is not willing to pay for extras. I agree with you, junkyard motors are probably in the junkyard cuz they burn oil...I wouldn't spend $5K on some "Jasper" rebuilt engine either. The problem with just running it and adding oil all the time is that I'm guessing the emission system will probably get messed up sooner or later, new converters are expensive... A tough decision for sure, wish you luck.... I have spent enough money on my Camry over the years, driving it until it reaches 200K miles, which will be in a year or so... Then, I'm going to go out west and look for my previous car, hopefully just driven to church by a little old lady, 1999 Toyota Solara...I am not spending 30K on a new car...

You might want to look into a product called “engine restore”. I learned about it on a KZread channel called Project Farm. I started using it in my 2008 scion xd that would occasionally burn oil. Only a few hundred miles into it after adding it, and I believe I may can tell a difference. It is a little peppier, and the occasional blue puff of smoke has not been noticeable. It is supposed to restore compression and reduce blow by. I would love to see a video of what you think about it too!

Chris. I am a Toyota Owner (13 Highlander and 13 Camry). Have done allot of research on that 2AZ-FE oil issue. The majority of people who have that issue and who missed that deadline just keep extra oil in their trunk. They have racked up thousands of miles more even WITH the oil issue . Also note that quite a few people who had the job done at Toyota ended up with the same oil issue some time afterwards. ( I saw video once that explained this. Something about the engine block also having to be done or the oil dilution problem would just come back). So just keep extra oil on you.

I’m out on disability and binge watching utube. I’d just keep adding oil, it’s easy and cheap. My last car was a 2001 civic with 250k miles that had an oil leak somewhere. I spent a fortune replacing gaskets. There was no smoke from the exhaust and after a while there was no smell of oil burning on the exhaust, it just seemed to disappear. But after trying in vain to find the leak I gave up and just started buying the cheapest oil I could find, any brand, any grade, it didn’t matter, after 2 weeks or so it was gone, POOF!. Spend your money on a membership to Costco or BJs . And great channel.

Drive it till the wheels fall off of it if you can keep getting oil. Maybe try some quick fixes like sealers and see if any other cheap quick fixes keep it going. Junkyard engine could be alright though, and if you'll get use out of it, put a newer engine it. This year was known for oil burning at a certain point, you've been lucky with it. If not, get a new car and keep the Camry for a beater/short distance car. That transmission will have life in it for sure, depends on your financial situation really.

The ring lands carbon up and the rings just stick solid in the pistons. I’ve rebuilt stacks. I’m doing a hybrid right now. You might like to try soaking the cylinders with a good top end cleaner and an oil flush. You’ll never get them totally freed up without disassembly but it might make it more tolerable.

Chris, you've mentioned the excessive oil consumption issue your Camry has in previous videos. That is way too much oil loss (more than I've ever seen) if it's not leaking out of the engine somewhere. I'm dying to know if the HyperLube product (engine rebuild in a bottle) slows it down or not. Engine Restore is another one that often helps.

Best option is to rebuild. Even if you get the engine rebuilt, your emissions components may need future attention like your O2 sensors and catalytic converter because of the higher concentration of burnt oil in the exhaust. You could pull an engine from a wrecked 2010-11 Camry that already had the modified piston rings.

I bought my first Toyota and its a Camry, I love how it drives and super quiet too.. though mine has 234,000 miles on it when I bought before I knew about the oil consumption .. I have to stop at a Toyota dealership to check on an open recall and see what they will do.. but other wise I will drive it too until the wheels come off.. my parents had 3 of these Camry 2008,2011, and a 2013 now they are driving a 2018 Rav4. my brother has a Toyota Sienna van that has 278,000 miles on it and also has a Toyota pickup he has had since 1996 that is a 1991 2 wheel drive truck he uses as a shop truck for his business. it has close to 600,000 miles on it. I used to work at Toyota dealership a few years ago working as a auto detailer, I had an 85 Toyota pickup coming in for a full detail that had 795,000 miles on and it had the 22RE engine same as my brothers. both are super dependable.. I am hope to make 300,000 before looking putting a new engine in mine if the oil sonsumption gets worse.. right now it only use about a quart ever 2,000 miles.. we will see what happens in the next few months to a year.

I am currently driving my 3rd Camry. That particular engine with the piston ring problem is no longer used. But you could finance that 5K for a remanufactured engine and still be better off than paying for a new car. And that crazy tray in the trunk, you will notice a 6pk fits in it perfectly and will not slide around. I don't know if that was it's intended purpose, some say it is, but give it a try. I live in the mountains and these cars do great in the winter with snowtires. I use Blizzaks from Bridgstone. Many people overlook just how good these cars are.

Keep it alive and keep it oiled up.Adding oil is simple and obviously effective. Sure at some point you have to devide when enough is enough. Nothing is forever. It runs fine. It's not worth trying to fix the engine. Or taking out a mortgage to buy a new(er) one. Love the simple basicness of this one by the way.

The 3.5 v6 version of the Toyota Camry is a true sleeper.... faster than most expect and it definitely surprises a few especially when driven in sport or manual mode...

Have you checked into having the engine rebuilt? If not cost effective, then I’d vote for a salvage yard engine with as low mileage as possible. I’m of the same mind, I hate to let a good serviceable car go.

Apparently this was a widespread issue with 2.4L engines of this vintage in other Toyotas. The inherent fact is that as long as one is on top of it, the engines will happily chug along with this known flaw. Perhaps a local mechanic could do a ring swap in it for less than the dealer, but it is a big job and will be costly. Ironic because I happened to see a similar but lower mile Camry of this vintage on Autotrader earlier this week with a manual.

Marc Milton-Talbot depends on where your engine is from and which year. Apparently in the case of the Camry, the head bolt issue was singled down to the Kentucky Toyota plant and cars between 2002 and 2004. Some 2004s do not have the issue and any one above that will not have an issue either. My Camry is a 2003 but it was made in Japan so the motor is also from japan so it won’t have the head bolt issue. The oil burning problem is widespread on all 2AZFE’s and they never fixed it. Super cool engine with one terrible flaw. It even has rep in the tuning scene since it was in the Scion tC. I think new piston ring and a custom cylinder sleeve made of a different metal could potentially solve the issue entirely, but I don’t think anyone has the money or the interest to do that. Also the engine is already 2 generations old Camry wise so it’s not really Toyota’s problem anymore

Filling it up every tank is not great and that’s the reason he’s not selling it. Unless you sell it for parts/ as a shell and in need of an engine swap, you’re ripping somebody off because that engine is toast

Excellent review. You nailed so many points. Well done. I own a 2001 Camry -- last year for that Camry generation. Mechanically, 1997-01 Camry was the best generation. The 2.2 - 4 cyl was the best engine Toyota made. Many positives you identify for 2009 are same for 2001. The 2002-2006 Camry is the generation between. Styling was not the best. The 2.4 cyl was OK but had problems -- definitely not as good as earlier 2.2. Then 2007-2012. These 3 Camry generations were exceptional, reliable cars. Low cost and good value. Would not say the same for current Camry.

Just recently picked up an '07 CE with a 5 speed manual as well. Wasn't in the market for a Camry at all, just saw that it said "manual transmission" on the marketplace ad, which I thought was a mislisting. Turns out legitimately was a stick shift, which I didn't think they made anymore by that generation. So far so good, the 2AZ-FE has the pink marks that indicate the TSB work has been done, or at least was checked by Toyota for the dreaded oil consumption problem. Have been checking the level regularly to be sure, so far it hasn't used an appreciable amount of oil yet, but I also haven't put that much mileage on it, guess time will tell.
