1998 Camry w/ over 150,000 (oil)

[Whelan]

It's my gf's mothers car. She has her 2004 Honda S200 (red) for fun and this for just gettin around. I have to do her oil tonight and I've only worked on her S2000. So I need to know what oil grade the 1998 Camry I4 takes and approximate amount. Also if anyone recommends using the High Mileage Oil, let me know?

I would look under the hood or at the manual, but I am going right from work to the store for the oil and then to Toyota for the filter, then to do the car.

It uses 5-30 and almost 4 qts. I don't like HM and synthetic blend oils. You don't need to stop at the stealership for the filter, just buy any except for FRAM.

You from CT so put on 10w-30, its getting warm and 5w-30 its not good for hot wheater, you will need 5 qts, and use hte fram oil filter # PH4967, seya.

The dealer is not that expensive for oil filters. I pay like $3-4 for my 05 Matrix XR AWD. Glad to know its 5-30 I figured that, since my 05 Tris uses the same grade. Thanks for the info!

I agree. Here oil filter from dealer is $6.95CDN, a Quaker State from Canadian Tire is $6.99CDN. Go figure.
