  1. There's another great mechanic right in your backyard, Avoca NY. Eric O from the South Main Auto youtube channel, you're a lucky man.

  2. The Toyota app is perfect for keeping records, plus buying Toyota OEM parts and fluids from the dealership will also keep a record for you. If you use the app to buy everything, you'll get anywhere from 25-40% off.

  3. I change my oil every 3k miles, oil is cheap, engines are not. Im just waiting on a diy video on the PCV valve on the new Camrys, its behind the intake manifold! This is the best maintenance video for Toyota on YouTube, thanks AMD!

  4. Suggestion, buy your own oil from the dealership and ask for the empty bottles back afterwards. These dealerships use bulk Mobil 1 oil and the stuff in the bottles is specifically designed for your car. There's a great engine oil analysis video here on YouTube where a guy sends off samples of new Toyota OEM oil, Mobil 1, Penzoil and Amsoil to the lab. Toyota OEM oil has twice the amount of dry lubrication additives than the next closest competitor. Toyota uses Mobil 1 oil but they engineered a specific additive package for each oil. If you search "Toyota engine oil analysis video" it'll show up, the guy has a bit of an accent and the screenshot is of the oil analysis paperwork.

  5. How's she running, any noticeable changes, I just purchased a 2024 Camry? Also do you have any inside tips for winter driving or hidden tricks?

  6. Yeah, I bought a 24' Camry non hybrid. I know Toyota makes the best hybrid systems but I don't want to worry about the hybrid system 20 years down the road. Plus I just simply like the naturally aspirated engines.

  7. Yeah, they're basically just a screen that's there to catch "large" material in the event that something major happens inside the transmission.

  8. Yeah I watched a interview with the former head engine guy from Nissan. He says change the oil every 3000 miles because that's when today's engine oils start to lose viscosity and engine wear begins.

  9.  @Thecelestial1  thanks bro, I just feel great about my purchase and I hope it's the last car I'll ever have to buy. As far as the winter tips question, I was just wondering how yours warmed up but you're blessed enough to be in warm weather. I live on the opposite side of the country so I'm about ready to have mine Fluid Filmed to protect her from rusting due to salt.

  10. @marklintwo  did you read my comment? I bought a 2024 Toyota Camry SE? I work on my own vehicles and do not want to have to worry about a hybrid system 20 years from now. I'm 100% happy with my non hybrid Toyota, it's paid off.
