I’m currently at 125,000 on my 21 6cyl xse without any issues. Haven’t even done breaks and I was told they’re still good on my last oil change. Can’t wait to make 300K as well
The best thing about Toyota's 2.5L engine is that they solved the issue with carbon build-up in the heads by adding port injectors. There's been many other decent engines by other manufacturers killed by GDI.
Car Care Nut says 5k mile oil changes. He looks at Toyota engines daily. Congrats on 300k milestone. I want fun AND dependable. That's why I'm upgrading to one of the last v6 engines on the 2024. I love love love Camrys.
I bought a 2018 Lexus ES350 about 7 months ago. It has 25k miles. I’ve changed out the coolant and transmission fluid. I’m looking forward to many years of ownership. Please don’t forget to change coolant every 5 years or so…it gets really acidic and will destroy pretty much everything. Our son has an ‘08 ES350 and my wife drives an ‘18 IS300 AWD and we love them. New subscriber and look forward to more videos.
Did you say you replaced the 8 speed automatic transmission? My Camry is a 2010 with over 221k no issues on the 6 speed automatic transmission. I have changed my transmission fluid with the world standard fluid 3 times. What happened with the transmission?
@stevenfedorov every 50-60k on automatic transmission fluid should be fine. 30k is for CVTs. I don't think you'll gain anything changing before 50k on automatic transmission.
A coworker bragged about the mileage he had on his old camry. The problem is he was constantly working from home when he should have been in the office. The car needed a transmission and major engine rebuild.
Your car looks brand new bro..mine is a 2018 with 160k, front suspension needs some work but i have a feeling i will need a new transmission soon. Engine sounds solid, oil change every 5k. I plan on hitting a million miles too!!!
Did you change transmission fluid every 30k-50k miles? If not, then there could be a chance the transmission will have problems. Try to do a drain and fill on the transmission and it will last a while 👍
Nice video. I just bought 2025 Camry SE waiting to get delivered. I have a 2005 4Runner with 265,000 miles. It runs great. I plan to keep it till at least 750,000 miles.
haha i just bought a 2018 camry se TODAY to replace my E90 328i which got totaled in a t bone accident.. the one i bought has 175k miles so glad to hear that the 8 speed has a bit more life in it before i need to swap it.
I have a 2019 identical to this one. I drive like a grandma in the city and try to keep it at 1500rpm on the highway. 57k miles and only replaces a dead battery so far. Excellent car
My 2018 3.5L FORD Exploder AC Compressor gave up at 62,000 miles, the Alternator PUKED at 70,000 miles! Pathetic...... Bought my son a 2023 Toyota Camry LE, just did the 3rd oil change at 17,000 miles, it has been a dream.
Thanks for the videos dude. This and reading the comments has made me rethink my decision of buying this car next year. I still plan on buying it, but it'll probably be 2020-2024 model. I'm gonna run my current one to the ground. Cheaper to keep her they say. I've actually been looking at this car and 2016/2017 Honda Accords. I started leaning towards this one due to not having a cvt since from all I've been researching is more costly to repair. On that note, I'm also not sold on hybrids. I saw a report of a cat that said Infinity wanted to charge him 20k to replace the batteries. Currently, I'm a believer in Toyota Camrys. I have a 2008 that hasn't given me any issues with Engine, nor transmission. Scratch that, actually my engine either burns a qt of oil or loses it every 5k miles. To be fair, everything that has gone wrong with it, has been after about 200k miles. So far, I've replaced the radiator 2x(once prior to 200k), Alternator 2x, the aux port 2x, both cv axles, the fan under the glove compartment. And am currently looking at replacing the temperature control module, an 80$ part(used) that I plan on changing out myself. Everything that I've spent has been below $600 when done at the shops. I guess in a way, I'm saying, cars after 200k are gonna cost you moola to maintain.
Congratulations on 300k. I was wondering about how expensive the lyft accident was. Did you have to pay $2,500 deductible and much down time no driving or did you rent to drive? I just got a 2024 LE and uber on weekends will do ~33k miles per year. I worried about the softex leather and more expensive tires on the SE. I also heard that thise tires/wheels are more easily damaged. I just have black fabric interior so im trying out a seat cover when i drive saturday nights. I was really torn between SE & LE. I also never drove SE and wondered if it felt nearly as smooth a ride as LE. If i ever get another camry ill probably get an SE now that I see how well your interior has held up.
Well, my accident happened in a way that Lyft didn’t know. I didn’t report anything so I payed for it out of pocket. My insurance wouldn’t cover the transmission accident. I didn’t drive when the car was in the shop for a week. I have tried the LE before when I got T boned the first year of ownership and I would say that the LE is way more comfortable with the cloth seats and softer suspension. That accident was the other guys fault and his insurance covered the incident and I got a rental which was the LE Camry.
I do not think non Toyota owners understand just how well built these new Toyotas are! The Japanese engineers really try to design and manufacture the highest quality products. Anyone that has ever worked in the automotive industry, in a Japanese ran company understands exactly what I'm talking about. Im still watching the video but if youve not replaced the timing chain, now would be the time to preemptively do it. Another thing is the water pump, its extremely easy to do and sits just below your alternator. Congratulations on 300k miles, the Camry looks fantastic! I recently purchased a new 24' Camry SE and im going to try and make it the last car I ever have to buy.
Got a rav4 2019 with 46k plus miles running strong and changing the oil every 5k miles . I will change the TRANSMISSION FLUID at 60k miles . God bless and keep it up .
That’s great to hear because I also have the 2017 3.5 but with 73k. Do you keep up with your transmission flushes? That’s the only thing I’m worried about
Dude massive respect for you making these videos. I have a 2020 pearl white XSE 4cyl that I’ve done some basic modding to (cool air intake, muffler deletes, strut bar, etc) and I too put a ridiculous amount on mine. So these videos have brought me a little peace of mind to the longevity. Keep em coming boss and I look forward to 400k on up to a milli!
Those mods will only shorten the life of your engine. The Camry 4cyl is not a race car, it's a get around town, grocery getter. For people thinking of modifying their 4cyl Camry, don't do it. These engines are made for longevity, not to race. Any racing mods will just put strain on it. Oh and change your oil every 5k, regardless of what the dealer tells you.
I have same camry SE 2018 WITH. 49k miles. Love it. I don’t know exactly but as my service told me I have to change the transmission fluid and break fluid on 50k miles. I try to keep maintenance in order. Its very good car 👍
Hi Steve I now the Tacoma owner that you are talking about, and that’s right if you drive more in Highway is okay the the oil change every 10k but if you drive more in the city be careful be checking how dark is the oil
I know it’s a different vehicle but my neighbor has a 2021 Rav 4 hybrid that she already has 150k miles on as she works on sales and drives a ton. It’s been a great vehicle for her. Our 2012 Highlander just hit 200k and it runs and drives like new (still doesn’t burn any oil at all). Our daughter has a 2005 Camry with over 200k. Our 2004 Highlander had over 300k. Toyota is amazing.
@@stevenfedorov yes it does, it was burning a quart every 500 miles but I’ve run liquimoly in it to flush it the last oil change and doing it once improved the consumption to about a quart every 800 miles. Going to keep doing that and will probably add marvel mystery oil at the next oil change. It still runs great and has good compression though.
How often were you changing your transmission fluid? What type of fluid did you use? Update: because I was so incredibly interested, I went back and watched your timeline video when your transmission went out. I appreciate all of the great details on the car. My 2019 Camry SE has 135,000 miles and I absolutely love it. I would love to see 300,000 out of mine too. Thank you for creating and sharing.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad my videos help people. The fluid I use is WS transmission fluid from the dealership. I started to drain and fill my transmission fluid every 30k miles. Will see how long I can make this one last.
@@stevenfedorov saw on car nut Toyota that the transmission fluid of these Camrys must be replaced at 60k, is that correct? Who told you that it has to be changed after 30k? My Camry xse has 41k and I'm waiting to get to 45k and do it an exchange at the Toyota dealer, what do you say?
@@augustojunior5906 th-cam.com/video/jJr30r6RRgw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=35k0GAyjo7RxJr-m Watch his video to the end particularly the “final thoughts and recommendations” section. The video is called what NOT to do in a Toyota and Lexus. Basically what he says is WS fluid needs to be changed every 60k or 6 years. Also he says the EARLIEST you should change WS fluid is 30k miles. That’s where I got the interval 30k-60k miles.
We need more information about the car's maintenance and repair history. Surely MUCH MORE than the alternator went out by 300,000 miles? What about water pump, the thermostat and coolant flow control valve? Wheel bearings? CV axle boots? Shocks/struts? Air Conditioning system services & repairs? Spark plugs? Ignition coils? Oxygen Sensors? Check Engine lights? etc.
Besides transmission, wheel bearings, alternator, serpentine belt, side skirt ripping off, everything else works fine. If you want more information on maintenance, check out the Car Care Nut channel. Everyone in the comments section recommends him for all that stuff. I’m here for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSE ONLY! I’m NOT a certified Toyota mechanic like that guy, I just share my car journey
Actually I bought a transmission from LKQ junk yard with 30k miles on it for $2800. Then I took the car and transmission to a transmission shop and they did it for $1500 (labor cost) All in I was $4400
Hello Steven My wife and I own 6 Toyota. Vehicles with highest mileage 2007 tundra 5.7 with 196K miles on original tran and engine, 2009 Toyota yaris (baby Yoda) has 167K miles on original power train, 2013 lexus RX350 with 120K miles on original power train. The 3 cars with low miles 6K, 61K, and 72K miles. Yes I'm a little older than you...55 yr old. Used to own different types of cars but now only stick to Toyota for cheap maintenance and long lasting. I would like to my at 300K some days.... Like your video, thanks
In the end if you are doing Uber an Lyft then it's best to change the oil 3k-5k. 10k works for people who are doing highway driving primarily. Because you're doing stop and go traffic a lot it's better to change it more often than not, especially if your trying to reach a mil on miles. The stories of toyota owners reaching a mil are people who drove highway
I have a 2019 xle with 41k on it. I already need the to check that transmission out because it is one of the most jerky transmissions I have ever seen in a car, its such a bad transmission but its also used so it might just need to be reprogrammed but thank god its still under a powertrain warranty.
Beautiful car. I have the exact same one with 55k. Hopefully the transmission last longer than 300k. Camry has been a champ tgus far. Hiw much for the Transmission replacement or repair?
Yes I did, I didn’t change transmission fluid at the right intervals. I was supposed to drain and fill every 30k-50k miles but I didn’t know better. Learned the hard way
I currently drive a 2015 Lexus RX 350 for lyft. It is only 18 mpg. I question how many miles a hybrid car will last. I might consider getting a non hybrid camry.
Use legit interior cleaner’s like Griots Garage products. They are designed to protect and renew plastics and leathers. Clorox or household products will strip oils or surface finishes on your car over time. Your car looks nice for not using anything fancy!
Is the acceleration good enough for traffic? Do you have enough power for merging on the highway. It seems like a solid car especially now there's decent deals on these Camry (non hybrid).
@@stevenfedorovthat’s why your transmission gave out I have 85,000 miles on my Camry. I’m waiting to get some money so I can take it to the dealership and have it changed got to keep the maintenance with those.up and they’ll last a lot longer
Amazing how the seats have held up! Looks like the plastic is just oxidating with age. Thanks for the video, I am thinking about buying one of these with the 2.5. Totally impressed with yours at 300k. Just found your other video about the transmisson...
Our 2020 is just now hitting 60k miles. Had transmission serviced at 45k miles and did a coolant service at the same time. I think coolant service is really important now with the way the system works too. Been changing oil every 5k or less too. Probably the best car on the market right now for those wanting a car to last awhile. Only gripes about the car I have is road noise is bad on the SE models and the door seals could be better. Other than those two gripes the car is pretty damn solid and all these people bashing Toyota over the Tundra and Tacoma forget they have all these other models that are holding up well and the Tundra and Tacoma will get addressed and eventually fall in line and be good. Only car out there that could come close to this is the Mazda cars they are pretty good too.
I agree on the noise part it could be a little quieter but it does come with sporty tires and it’s not as quiet as a Lexus. Those things are awesome but pricey overall. Also I agree with you on the newer Mazda models. They do seem to be more reliable now a days.
Less than 10k miles on my 2024 Camry Hybrid SE and my windshield cracked all the way across. I've owned 40 vehicles and have replaced 2 windshields....both Toyota Camrys.
He changed his at 1st atf change at 155k miles based on his other video when his transmission broke. He got 123k miles more since it broke at 278 miles. I wonder if he followed the 60k miles interval if his transmission would still be running fine?
Yup that’s the sad reality. They probably call it lifetime fluid because no one drives more than that many miles, but if they do; they will sell you their extended warranty 😂🤦♂️
Wow that’s impressive! All together it cost me $4200 to replace the transmission. That’s with a tranny from the junk yard and finding a local transmission shop that would take the job with a transmission from LKQ. I was impressed that shops do that
Listen. Camrys are good cars, but do NOT listen to their recommended oil changes please. I just got rid of mine it had 120k miles and burn oil like crazy. Because I only changed the oil every 10k miles like they said. Change it as well as the oil filter every 5k miles.
No, I didn’t know better. Manufacturer states tranny fluid needs to be replaced every 30k-60k miles Dealership recommended me to change it after 100k miles. Overall I changed transmission fluid 3x If you want more info check out my video “my 2019 Camry transmission went out”
@@stevenfedorov I actually came across your transmission went out video right after posting that question, lol. To make it to 278k was still pretty good. It would be interesting to see how a transmission would hold up if a person did the service every 30k. I wonder if it would make a difference.
@@MrGunner945 that’s what I plan to do, I’m about to change my own transmission fluid coming up in a couple thousand miles will be 30k miles on the new tranny
I just bought this exact Camry SE in white but a new 2024 and my wife has a 2023 in red also brand new. The owners manual says to change the trans fluid so thats probably what I will do at the dealer at about 50k on each car. I have always believed in no more than 5k on oil changes. Just too much proof of any car doing it at 10k with too much wear due to that. Anything out there once at 250k miles thats usually the life of most transmissions unless its an eCVT. A family member of mine has a 2006 Prius that has done NOTHING to that car at 300k miles now.
The exterior appears to be well-kept compared to the interior. Then again, with all those customers - people - and family members in and out you can expect a lot of wear and tear to the interior. Yeah! CVT replaced after 200K miles ... acceptable but costly. [$3,000 +] Just 1 wheel bearing ..should replace both sides at the same time. [$600 for both] Probably on the 6th set of above-average quality tires [$5,400]. Alternator + Belt [$600], Brakes [$2,500] Oil Changes x 32, Trans Flush x 2, Coolant Flush x2, and Air Filters x 16, [$2,500]. That is like $15K to keep the Camry up and running. I would worry about the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, catalytic converters, emission, and exhaust system ... time for a new car. Last! CONGRATULATIONS Steven on being a safe driver and still having a functional Camry.
Thanks! The exterior has rock chips on the front. You can’t see it in the video but it’s there. Also a used alternator is only $142 minus $35 core charge. Brand new one cost $400. Tires would cost about $200+ at discount tire but you can buy tires on Amazon/eBay for cheaper and just as good quality. Also, a good local shop will install it for you for only $20/tire. Not too expensive if you know the right people and places to shop at. I have a KnN engine filter that I don’t have to replace and I only replaced the cabin air filter like 2x in its life 😂 Also, this is a regular automatic transmission, not CVT. This is not a Hybrid. As far as wheel bearing, yes I agree. I should have replaced both and probably should have got OEM ones. I’m trying to keep cost down because everything is expensive. Life is expensive lol. I did make it a goal to hit 1 million miles, with God’s help, I will stick to it. Considering getting a spare car along the way just in case this one fails on me.
I have a 2020 Camry hybrid with 64k miles and I’m thinking about taking it to a custom interior shop and getting a nice tan interior. I’m planning on doing it at 130k miles or when I have to replace the battery.
Nice and honest video, I like it. Plus side for a hybrid (beside MPG) is that there is no alternator, and many other parts that can go wrong are not existing in a hybrid, and transmission is even more reliable and more simple made than a standard automatic. 👍
i heard some bad problems specific to the 2018 camry, because it's the first of this generation of camrys... the ones i see are 100k miles already... should those problems be something to worry about? or should i make the decision to buy one of them?
I’d say, if you have the money go ahead and buy 2019+ models. I personally don’t like car payments so I would have bought a car with cash. Honestly, with these Camry’s I wouldn’t worry about the mileage until 250k. That’s where if there was poor maintenance, you will have transmission issues. These cars can go 100k easy with no problems!
How was the transmission feeling before it went out? I have a 2018 Camry se, I have an issue with it jerking when not coming to a complete stop, it’s almost like it doesn’t know what gear it wants to be in. If I’m slow on the acceleration from a stop it won’t do it.
I am amazed at how the front of your car has no rock chips on it from what I could see. My cars when they get around 200,000 miles, because of living in the rust belt of Ohio, have rock chips all over the front of them.
Got my 2022 xse last week and love it. I had a camry before and i was using 5w30 oil instead of 0w20 toyota recommends and drove 400k miles no issues. What oil do you use? Whats your interval?
Mine is 4 cylinder also and requires 0w16 whith is basically water, I think wd40 can probably do a better job, toyota just trying to squeeze as much as possible for gas saving costing you a engine failure. I will never use 0w16 ever, plus this cars with same engine in Mexico toyota recommend 5w30 so becareful trusting what they recommend, after the warranty is gone they really don't care anymore
@@robsonrissotrainer I would not use any other oil than 0-16 if I was you, otherwise you’ll say bye- bye to your engine in a couple of years… This guy just said I’ve been using 0-16 oil every 5k miles for 300k miles and his engine just fine, his warranty long gone, so idk what r u talking about…
@@georgiiarakelov6560 I use 0w30 for years and it's much better, only reason toyota Recommend and NOT require 0w16 is only for gas saving so I rather save my engine from failure than saving gas. I've driving 400k miles on my last camry using 0w30 and it was 0w20 Recommend. Seriously using 0w16 I rather just spray wd40 instead it will do a better job lol no way I will ever use 0w16, plus the same car in Mexico toyota recommends 5w30 so go ahead with 0w16 and good luck
Wow, I can not believe you put that many miles in just five years. That is like sixty thousand miles in one year which is like more than three times the average drivers in the in the U.S.
I’m a personal believer of not buying a car with a loan. I just don’t like paying for a car that I bought 4 years ago. Trade in values are not that much. Dealerships will low ball like crazy. If you sell the car, what are you planning to get next? Either something older or something new that will lose its value in the first 5 years. Personally, I would just keep it as a daily (Not financial advice) :)
Probably lack of transmission fluid changes or it never had any transmission fluid changes. The transmission fluid needs to be changed every 60k miles. Drain and fill, not a flush.
@@stevenfedorov I just watched it. I’m not a Toyota owner, but something similar happened to me with my Volkswagen. My transmission was never serviced until 120k miles, which was around the mileage when it started to shift rough. Six months later after I do a drain and fill, it started slipping anyway. my trans replacement is out of a ‘09 Jetta 2.5l. Trans has less than 30k miles. I’ll be doing a drain and fill every 37500 miles/ 60k km like the manual says.
@@mikealicious3848 the car care nut channel is what everybody recommended me to listen so I did. He is a certified Toyota/Lexus technician. I watched his videos and he says to drain and fill every 30k-60k miles. Also he says not to do it too often because at that point the transmission can slip. Not sure if it works on other cars but it should for Toyota.
@@stevenfedorov His channel has helped me as well. I do follow his maintenance tips that applies to all cars, not just Toyota. His channel has given me direction of what I want for a first Toyota. Hope your Camry reaches 400k miles.
First transmission fluid was done at 120k miles but factory manufacturer will tell you every 30k-60k miles. Break pads, well, I change mine whenever it starts to squeal
Hey brother how much transmission cost you? And at how many miles it went out at?, considering you did not have any issues with engine other than alternator, this thing is damn reliable
Did you say you also replaced the transmission? At what mileage was that replaced? Asking because I want to buy one that has 201,000 miles, is it worth it?
My transmission started shuttering at 250k; then it started slipping around 260k. It gave up at 278k miles. If you decide to get one with that many miles, I highly recommend that you check that the transmission fluid was serviced every 30k-50k miles (Transmission fluid change drain and fill)
I’m currently at 125,000 on my 21 6cyl xse without any issues. Haven’t even done breaks and I was told they’re still good on my last oil change. Can’t wait to make 300K as well
Consider doing the spark plugs because of D4S. 👍
Right on! ✊
Have you done Transmission Fluid change?
Dang, the new 2.5 Toyota engine is turning out to be a real high mileage champ. Solid 👍 👌 I bet the engine will go 500k or more.
That's because it's based on the 1996 version.
The best thing about Toyota's 2.5L engine is that they solved the issue with carbon build-up in the heads by adding port injectors. There's been many other decent engines by other manufacturers killed by GDI.
@@kennethporst1738 I own the 96. No reason to change trade it. At 452k miles still going like a champ.

Awesome! If I had the extra cash, I would have gotten the trd version but the car and gas is kinda expensive for me lol
I bought a 2018 Lexus ES350 about 7 months ago. It has 25k miles. I’ve changed out the coolant and transmission fluid. I’m looking forward to many years of ownership. Please don’t forget to change coolant every 5 years or so…it gets really acidic and will destroy pretty much everything. Our son has an ‘08 ES350 and my wife drives an ‘18 IS300 AWD and we love them. New subscriber and look forward to more videos.
Thanks for the reminder. Yeah I have changed the coolant before. I use the pink one premixed specific to Toyota/Lexus models
Remember to change your transmission fluid every 60k miles. I pray that you get to a million miles. Blessings
Yes. This change transmission fuild is important
Thanks. I started changing transmission fluid every 30k miles now
Did you say you replaced the 8 speed automatic transmission? My Camry is a 2010 with over 221k no issues on the 6 speed automatic transmission. I have changed my transmission fluid with the world standard fluid 3 times. What happened with the transmission?
Damn haven't don't mine...I'm at 65k thx for the remainder
@stevenfedorov every 50-60k on automatic transmission fluid should be fine. 30k is for CVTs. I don't think you'll gain anything changing before 50k on automatic transmission.
100% - Also a Camry SE owner and really appreciate the excellent info - thank you 😀
Happy to help!
A coworker bragged about the mileage he had on his old camry. The problem is he was constantly working from home when he should have been in the office. The car needed a transmission and major engine rebuild.

Try to do a drain and fill on the transmission and it will last a while 👍
How many miles do you currently have now?
And have you had to replace your water pump yet?
Awesome I have the same camry same color 48,000 miles nothing done but oil change
Nice video. I just bought 2025 Camry SE waiting to get delivered. I have a 2005 4Runner with 265,000 miles. It runs great. I plan to keep it till at least 750,000 miles.
Right on! ✊
Don’t count on that, those are notorious for blowing head gaskets. Mine was very well maintained and blew the gasket at 254k

Well, if I changed transmission fluid between 30k-60k miles my transmission could have lasted longer

Yup Toyotas are solid ✊
Thanks for the videos dude. This and reading the comments has made me rethink my decision of buying this car next year. I still plan on buying it, but it'll probably be 2020-2024 model. I'm gonna run my current one to the ground. Cheaper to keep her they say.
I've actually been looking at this car and 2016/2017 Honda Accords. I started leaning towards this one due to not having a cvt since from all I've been researching is more costly to repair.
On that note, I'm also not sold on hybrids. I saw a report of a cat that said Infinity wanted to charge him 20k to replace the batteries.
Currently, I'm a believer in Toyota Camrys. I have a 2008 that hasn't given me any issues with Engine, nor transmission. Scratch that, actually my engine either burns a qt of oil or loses it every 5k miles.
To be fair, everything that has gone wrong with it, has been after about 200k miles. So far, I've replaced the radiator 2x(once prior to 200k), Alternator 2x, the aux port 2x, both cv axles, the fan under the glove compartment. And am currently looking at replacing the temperature control module, an 80$ part(used) that I plan on changing out myself.
Everything that I've spent has been below $600 when done at the shops.
I guess in a way, I'm saying, cars after 200k are gonna cost you moola to maintain.
Yea that’s true, it is what it is 🤷🏻♂️ that’s the price I’m willing to pay for mine.
Congratulations on 300k. I was wondering about how expensive the lyft accident was. Did you have to pay $2,500 deductible and much down time no driving or did you rent to drive?
I just got a 2024 LE and uber on weekends will do ~33k miles per year. I worried about the softex leather and more expensive tires on the SE. I also heard that thise tires/wheels are more easily damaged. I just have black fabric interior so im trying out a seat cover when i drive saturday nights. I was really torn between SE & LE. I also never drove SE and wondered if it felt nearly as smooth a ride as LE. If i ever get another camry ill probably get an SE now that I see how well your interior has held up.
Well, my accident happened in a way that Lyft didn’t know. I didn’t report anything so I payed for it out of pocket. My insurance wouldn’t cover the transmission accident. I didn’t drive when the car was in the shop for a week.
I have tried the LE before when I got T boned the first year of ownership and I would say that the LE is way more comfortable with the cloth seats and softer suspension. That accident was the other guys fault and his insurance covered the incident and I got a rental which was the LE Camry.
I do not think non Toyota owners understand just how well built these new Toyotas are! The Japanese engineers really try to design and manufacture the highest quality products. Anyone that has ever worked in the automotive industry, in a Japanese ran company understands exactly what I'm talking about. Im still watching the video but if youve not replaced the timing chain, now would be the time to preemptively do it. Another thing is the water pump, its extremely easy to do and sits just below your alternator. Congratulations on 300k miles, the Camry looks fantastic! I recently purchased a new 24' Camry SE and im going to try and make it the last car I ever have to buy.
Got a rav4 2019 with 46k plus miles running strong and changing the oil every 5k miles . I will change the TRANSMISSION FLUID at 60k miles . God bless and keep it up .
Good stuff!
My 17 3.5 6cyl camry has about 220.000 miles on it now. Still running good
That’s great to hear because I also have the 2017 3.5 but with 73k. Do you keep up with your transmission flushes? That’s the only thing I’m worried about
That’s awesome! 👏👍
i have a 2019 with 120k miles. damn i got ways to go
Dude massive respect for you making these videos. I have a 2020 pearl white XSE 4cyl that I’ve done some basic modding to (cool air intake, muffler deletes, strut bar, etc) and I too put a ridiculous amount on mine. So these videos have brought me a little peace of mind to the longevity. Keep em coming boss and I look forward to 400k on up to a milli!
Appreciate the feedback!
Those mods will only shorten the life of your engine. The Camry 4cyl is not a race car, it's a get around town, grocery getter. For people thinking of modifying their 4cyl Camry, don't do it. These engines are made for longevity, not to race. Any racing mods will just put strain on it. Oh and change your oil every 5k, regardless of what the dealer tells you.
I have a 2019 Camry LE with 50k miles and I love it
I have same camry SE 2018 WITH. 49k miles. Love it. I don’t know exactly but as my service told me I have to change the transmission fluid and break fluid on 50k miles. I try to keep maintenance in order. Its very good car 👍
Right on
How many miles d you have currently? Have you had to replace water pump yet?
300k congrats
Thank you!
Hi Steve I now the Tacoma owner that you are talking about, and that’s right if you drive more in Highway is okay the the oil change every 10k but if you drive more in the city be careful be checking how dark is the oil
Thanks for the info!
Change at 5k. Full synthetic. 10k is too long, doesn't matter how you drive.
@@MikeHoxafloppin i agree
Change the mats and get rubber matts easy to clean just power wash it. Exterior body paint looks decent still and car seats maintained well.
I’ll consider that. If only the camera picked up on how much rock chips are on the front bumper. This car can use some touch up paint.
I just bought a 2024 Toyota Camry trd v6, I'm planning to keep for at least 10 years, oil changes every 5K.
That’s the way to do it! 👍
I know it’s a different vehicle but my neighbor has a 2021 Rav 4 hybrid that she already has 150k miles on as she works on sales and drives a ton. It’s been a great vehicle for her. Our 2012 Highlander just hit 200k and it runs and drives like new (still doesn’t burn any oil at all). Our daughter has a 2005 Camry with over 200k. Our 2004 Highlander had over 300k. Toyota is amazing.
Wow that’s awesome! Btw does that 2005 Camry burn oil?? I heard 2.4L are known for that.
@@stevenfedorov yes it does, it was burning a quart every 500 miles but I’ve run liquimoly in it to flush it the last oil change and doing it once improved the consumption to about a quart every 800 miles. Going to keep doing that and will probably add marvel mystery oil at the next oil change. It still runs great and has good compression though.
Get rid of a car at 250K miles?
Heck no. A year ago, I bought an 09 Prius with 246K miles on it.
It's running strong. 💪🏾
Wanted to see the 200k video again and saw a 300k! Great info. I’ve got a 2018 LE with 126k can’t wait to juice every mile 😂
Yea man, glad you like the video
How's the Toyota Camry driving now. I am getting one as well with 140k miles. Only paid,11k. Can't wait.
@@truegrizzlesfan2292 mine is doing pretty well, still driving it. It has about 338k miles now
Up to 136k on mine with 5k on payments
How often were you changing your transmission fluid? What type of fluid did you use?
Update: because I was so incredibly interested, I went back and watched your timeline video when your transmission went out. I appreciate all of the great details on the car. My 2019 Camry SE has 135,000 miles and I absolutely love it. I would love to see 300,000 out of mine too. Thank you for creating and sharing.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad my videos help people.
The fluid I use is WS transmission fluid from the dealership. I started to drain and fill my transmission fluid every 30k miles. Will see how long I can make this one last.
@@stevenfedorov saw on car nut Toyota that the transmission fluid of these Camrys must be replaced at 60k, is that correct? Who told you that it has to be changed after 30k? My Camry xse has 41k and I'm waiting to get to 45k and do it an exchange at the Toyota dealer, what do you say?
@@augustojunior5906 th-cam.com/video/jJr30r6RRgw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=35k0GAyjo7RxJr-m
Watch his video to the end particularly the “final thoughts and recommendations” section. The video is called what NOT to do in a Toyota and Lexus.
Basically what he says is WS fluid needs to be changed every 60k or 6 years. Also he says the EARLIEST you should change WS fluid is 30k miles. That’s where I got the interval 30k-60k miles.
Amsoil atf better
what my alternator went out @ 85k miles. Pulley was bad and it was loud under the hood, 2021 SE no other issues though.
thank you. great review. def cool, see what happens when you drive over 300,000. the car looks like it stayed in good condition
Fingers crossed!
We need more information about the car's maintenance and repair history. Surely MUCH MORE than the alternator went out by 300,000 miles? What about water pump, the thermostat and coolant flow control valve? Wheel bearings? CV axle boots? Shocks/struts? Air Conditioning system services & repairs? Spark plugs? Ignition coils? Oxygen Sensors? Check Engine lights? etc.
Besides transmission, wheel bearings, alternator, serpentine belt, side skirt ripping off, everything else works fine.
If you want more information on maintenance, check out the Car Care Nut channel. Everyone in the comments section recommends him for all that stuff. I’m here for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSE ONLY!
I’m NOT a certified Toyota mechanic like that guy, I just share my car journey
@@stevenfedorovat what mileage did the transmission died? Did you do any Transmission Fluid change on that transmission?
lol i just saw your 200k mile review from 1 year ago
and just now saw this, damn this car can last a while
im definitely picking on up next year
Yea man, go for it! 😁
Hey Steve did you change the transmission at the dealership with original Toyota parts? Or aftermarket? Cost 💲?
Actually I bought a transmission from LKQ junk yard with 30k miles on it for $2800. Then I took the car and transmission to a transmission shop and they did it for $1500 (labor cost)
All in I was $4400
What about the paint (especially on the front). Chips? Rust?
Are you changing the trans fluid and engine coolant
Did you change the transmission fluid every 60K? Wondering why the transmission went out
I got the 2018 camry se 222500 m on it still driving like a dream i bought it at 220 lol one owner no accidents not one problem so far
I appreciate the review. Good/fair advice on this video
My boy. Did you replace the alternatir and belt yourself?
Hello Steven
My wife and I own 6 Toyota. Vehicles with highest mileage 2007 tundra 5.7 with 196K miles on original tran and engine, 2009 Toyota yaris (baby Yoda) has 167K miles on original power train, 2013 lexus RX350 with 120K miles on original power train. The 3 cars with low miles 6K, 61K, and 72K miles.
Yes I'm a little older than you...55 yr old. Used to own different types of cars but now only stick to Toyota for cheap maintenance and long lasting.
I would like to my at 300K some days....
Like your video, thanks
That’s awesome! It’s good to see others out there with the same mindset of Toyota’s reliability!
In the end if you are doing Uber an Lyft then it's best to change the oil 3k-5k. 10k works for people who are doing highway driving primarily. Because you're doing stop and go traffic a lot it's better to change it more often than not, especially if your trying to reach a mil on miles. The stories of toyota owners reaching a mil are people who drove highway
Alright thanks for the info, I change mine every 5k miles
@@stevenfedorov no problem. Can't wait for the next update!
I have a 2019 xle with 41k on it. I already need the to check that transmission out because it is one of the most jerky transmissions I have ever seen in a car, its such a bad transmission but its also used so it might just need to be reprogrammed but thank god its still under a powertrain warranty.
Yea try that. I never reprogrammed mine but I think that should help.
Beautiful car. I have the exact same one with 55k. Hopefully the transmission last longer than 300k. Camry has been a champ tgus far. Hiw much for the Transmission replacement or repair?
I hope so too!
$4200 for everything
Awesome milestone!
Can I ask what viscosity oil you used?
0w-16 mobile one
Great review, thanks. Did you change transmission fluid? If you did, what intervals did you do?
Yes I did, I didn’t change transmission fluid at the right intervals. I was supposed to drain and fill every 30k-50k miles but I didn’t know better. Learned the hard way
@@stevenfedorovthanks for your honesty I was wondering the same thing if trans failed early due to service intervals
Transmission went at 278,000. That wasn’t bad considering maintenance wasn’t kept up. WOW reliability
I currently drive a 2015 Lexus RX 350 for lyft. It is only 18 mpg. I question how many miles a hybrid car will last. I might consider getting a non hybrid camry.
I’m getting 28 city 40 highway and I’m looking into getting a hybrid Venza lol
Nice!! I have a 2020 Camry SE just clocked 50K miles - how often do you recommend to change the brake fluid?
I don't, the car care nut channel can answer that question
Car looks mint. Almost looks like new. Except the current ones have a screen in the dash that's not flush like yours. Have you changed the coolant?
Yes I did once for sure around 100k or 200k don’t remember tbh; I know I need to replace it soon
****300k miles, that's incredible. Now, I am thinking about getting one for errand runs.
Your Camry is much far more superior than my BMW M3. My BMW did not reach 150,000.
Aww so sad, I kinda wanted a m3. Either an e30 m3 or f80 m3.
What model is yours?
I have a 2016 SE with 175K on it and love it. Did the alternator at 150k other than that just oil and a brake job once. Can't beat them!
Yea those cars are built to last!
Use legit interior cleaner’s like Griots Garage products. They are designed to protect and renew plastics and leathers. Clorox or household products will strip oils or surface finishes on your car over time. Your car looks nice for not using anything fancy!
I get your point but I take a lot of people that can have a virus so I choose to sanitize my car with wipes.
Is the acceleration good enough for traffic? Do you have enough power for merging on the highway. It seems like a solid car especially now there's decent deals on these Camry (non hybrid).
Yea, this car can handle well.
i'm kind of surprised by the transmission replacement! did you service it every 40-60K miles? asin transmissions are bulletproof when serviced.
No I didn’t unfortunately, first service was done at 120k miles at dealership
I’ll 2nd this, I’d change the transmission fluid every 40k miles to make sure transmission stays perfect
@@stevenfedorovthat’s why your transmission gave out I have 85,000 miles on my Camry. I’m waiting to get some money so I can take it to the dealership and have it changed got to keep the maintenance with those.up and they’ll last a lot longer
@@stevenfedorovat what milage did the transmission died? Did it died after the first Transmission fluid change?
@@safyankhan8469 278k transmission died on me.
I did 3 transmission fluid changes before it gave up on me.
Amazing how the seats have held up! Looks like the plastic is just oxidating with age. Thanks for the video, I am thinking about buying one of these with the 2.5. Totally impressed with yours at 300k. Just found your other video about the transmisson...
Glad it was helpful!
Why did you have to replace the tranny? Was it neglect or was it Toyotas fault?
Our 2020 is just now hitting 60k miles. Had transmission serviced at 45k miles and did a coolant service at the same time. I think coolant service is really important now with the way the system works too. Been changing oil every 5k or less too. Probably the best car on the market right now for those wanting a car to last awhile. Only gripes about the car I have is road noise is bad on the SE models and the door seals could be better. Other than those two gripes the car is pretty damn solid and all these people bashing Toyota over the Tundra and Tacoma forget they have all these other models that are holding up well and the Tundra and Tacoma will get addressed and eventually fall in line and be good. Only car out there that could come close to this is the Mazda cars they are pretty good too.
I agree on the noise part it could be a little quieter but it does come with sporty tires and it’s not as quiet as a Lexus. Those things are awesome but pricey overall.
Also I agree with you on the newer Mazda models. They do seem to be more reliable now a days.
Well done mate! congrats!
Thanks a lot!
Did you use Toyota WS atf ?did you change it or dealership? Do you know if they checked the proper level at 98-110 degrees?
I didn’t ask the technicians when they changed the fluid but I’m sure it’s the only fluid that works for the car
Less than 10k miles on my 2024 Camry Hybrid SE and my windshield cracked all the way across. I've owned 40 vehicles and have replaced 2 windshields....both Toyota Camrys.
i know another camry rideshare driver who's transmission went out at 160k. they call it lifetime fluid so it can break and they can sell you another
He changed his at 1st atf change at 155k miles based on his other video when his transmission broke. He got 123k miles more since it broke at 278 miles. I wonder if he followed the 60k miles interval if his transmission would still be running fine?
Yup that’s the sad reality. They probably call it lifetime fluid because no one drives more than that many miles, but if they do; they will sell you their extended warranty 😂🤦♂️
I won one of these cars in a raffle and I only have put 40 k on it in 3 years. Out of curiosity how much did it cost to change transmission?
Wow that’s impressive!
All together it cost me $4200 to replace the transmission. That’s with a tranny from the junk yard and finding a local transmission shop that would take the job with a transmission from LKQ. I was impressed that shops do that
Listen. Camrys are good cars, but do NOT listen to their recommended oil changes please. I just got rid of mine it had 120k miles and burn oil like crazy. Because I only changed the oil every 10k miles like they said. Change it as well as the oil filter every 5k miles.
@@357trent I know, I do that now
2019 camry 180k miles only issue so far was the alternator stoll going strong
Hey that’s pretty good
did you do regular transmission service over the 300k miles?
No, I didn’t know better. Manufacturer states tranny fluid needs to be replaced every 30k-60k miles
Dealership recommended me to change it after 100k miles.
Overall I changed transmission fluid 3x
If you want more info check out my video “my 2019 Camry transmission went out”
@@stevenfedorov I actually came across your transmission went out video right after posting that question, lol. To make it to 278k was still pretty good. It would be interesting to see how a transmission would hold up if a person did the service every 30k. I wonder if it would make a difference.
@@MrGunner945 that’s what I plan to do, I’m about to change my own transmission fluid coming up in a couple thousand miles will be 30k miles on the new tranny
Where did you drive thru the last five years
@@osvaldoaguilar7623 everywhere under the sun ☀️😁
I just bought this exact Camry SE in white but a new 2024 and my wife has a 2023 in red also brand new. The owners manual says to change the trans fluid so thats probably what I will do at the dealer at about 50k on each car. I have always believed in no more than 5k on oil changes. Just too much proof of any car doing it at 10k with too much wear due to that. Anything out there once at 250k miles thats usually the life of most transmissions unless its an eCVT. A family member of mine has a 2006 Prius that has done NOTHING to that car at 300k miles now.
Wow that’s awesome! Maybe I need a Prius instead 🤔
@@stevenfedorov Ones of today just get a Corolla Hybrid. Its better than the new Prius and way cheaper.
The exterior appears to be well-kept compared to the interior. Then again, with all those customers - people - and family members in and out you can expect a lot of wear and tear to the interior. Yeah! CVT replaced after 200K miles ... acceptable but costly. [$3,000 +] Just 1 wheel bearing ..should replace both sides at the same time. [$600 for both] Probably on the 6th set of above-average quality tires [$5,400]. Alternator + Belt [$600], Brakes [$2,500] Oil Changes x 32, Trans Flush x 2, Coolant Flush x2, and Air Filters x 16, [$2,500]. That is like $15K to keep the Camry up and running. I would worry about the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, catalytic converters, emission, and exhaust system ... time for a new car. Last! CONGRATULATIONS Steven on being a safe driver and still having a functional Camry.
Thanks! The exterior has rock chips on the front. You can’t see it in the video but it’s there. Also a used alternator is only $142 minus $35 core charge. Brand new one cost $400.
Tires would cost about $200+ at discount tire but you can buy tires on Amazon/eBay for cheaper and just as good quality. Also, a good local shop will install it for you for only $20/tire. Not too expensive if you know the right people and places to shop at.
I have a KnN engine filter that I don’t have to replace and I only replaced the cabin air filter like 2x in its life 😂
Also, this is a regular automatic transmission, not CVT. This is not a Hybrid.
As far as wheel bearing, yes I agree. I should have replaced both and probably should have got OEM ones. I’m trying to keep cost down because everything is expensive. Life is expensive lol.
I did make it a goal to hit 1 million miles, with God’s help, I will stick to it. Considering getting a spare car along the way just in case this one fails on me.
I have a 2020 Camry hybrid with 64k miles and I’m thinking about taking it to a custom interior shop and getting a nice tan interior. I’m planning on doing it at 130k miles or when I have to replace the battery.
Hey man, why did you need to replace the trans thanks..
It’s a long story. I have a video on it.
Waited too long to change my tranny fluid to sum it up.
at what mileage did you replace the trans ? was it expensive ?
I have a video on my channel that can answer your questions
Did you change or clean your MAF sensor in that mileage? And also your fuel pump?
No I didn’t clean the MAF sensor but I did have my fuel pump replaced at dealership because of low voltage fuel pump recall
Hey man! Great vid. How often do you change your oil?
Once a month
@@stevenfedorov how many miles is that?
@@MisterMathematics 5k miles
How often did you change the transmission fluid?
It would take me 40+ years to drive 300k miles.
I have a 2007 Ford Focus (original owner) with just under 100k miles.
Bought it October of 2006.
Nice, cars last a long time if they are maintained well
Did you flush out the coolant? If not eventually it’s gonna eat the head gasket, or other issues
Yes i did. Every 50k miles
Yooo
Great to know the camry still going strong 💪
Yea me too!
Nice and honest video, I like it. Plus side for a hybrid (beside MPG) is that there is no alternator, and many other parts that can go wrong are not existing in a hybrid, and transmission is even more reliable and more simple made than a standard automatic. 👍
Great point!
i heard some bad problems specific to the 2018 camry, because it's the first of this generation of camrys... the ones i see are 100k miles already... should those problems be something to worry about? or should i make the decision to buy one of them?
I’d say, if you have the money go ahead and buy 2019+ models. I personally don’t like car payments so I would have bought a car with cash.
Honestly, with these Camry’s I wouldn’t worry about the mileage until 250k. That’s where if there was poor maintenance, you will have transmission issues. These cars can go 100k easy with no problems!
How was the transmission feeling before it went out? I have a 2018 Camry se, I have an issue with it jerking when not coming to a complete stop, it’s almost like it doesn’t know what gear it wants to be in. If I’m slow on the acceleration from a stop it won’t do it.
The transmission is trying to learn your driving style. Just give it time and it should adjust accordingly
I am amazed at how the front of your car has no rock chips on it from what I could see. My cars when they get around 200,000 miles, because of living in the rust belt of Ohio, have rock chips all over the front of them.
Oh trust me mine has a lot of rock chips 😂 the camera doesn’t pick up the little details lol
Not even 88k on my se. glad I got it
Got my 2022 xse last week and love it. I had a camry before and i was using 5w30 oil instead of 0w20 toyota recommends and drove 400k miles no issues. What oil do you use? Whats your interval?
0w-16 ; oil change every 5k miles
Mine is 4 cylinder and requires only 0w-16 oil
Mine is 4 cylinder also and requires 0w16 whith is basically water, I think wd40 can probably do a better job, toyota just trying to squeeze as much as possible for gas saving costing you a engine failure. I will never use 0w16 ever, plus this cars with same engine in Mexico toyota recommend 5w30 so becareful trusting what they recommend, after the warranty is gone they really don't care anymore
@@robsonrissotrainer I would not use any other oil than 0-16 if I was you, otherwise you’ll say bye- bye to your engine in a couple of years…
This guy just said I’ve been using 0-16 oil every 5k miles for 300k miles and his engine just fine, his warranty long gone, so idk what r u talking about…
@@georgiiarakelov6560 I use 0w30 for years and it's much better, only reason toyota Recommend and NOT require 0w16 is only for gas saving so I rather save my engine from failure than saving gas. I've driving 400k miles on my last camry using 0w30 and it was 0w20 Recommend. Seriously using 0w16 I rather just spray wd40 instead it will do a better job lol no way I will ever use 0w16, plus the same car in Mexico toyota recommends 5w30 so go ahead with 0w16 and good luck
Wow, I can not believe you put that many
miles in just five years. That is like sixty
thousand miles in one year which is like
more than three times the average drivers
in the in the U.S.
Yep that’s right lol
I have 2019 Camry SE with 65k miles. The car is paid off. Should I keep the car or traded in or sell it while it holds some value?
I’m a personal believer of not buying a car with a loan. I just don’t like paying for a car that I bought 4 years ago.
Trade in values are not that much. Dealerships will low ball like crazy.
If you sell the car, what are you planning to get next? Either something older or something new that will lose its value in the first 5 years.
Personally, I would just keep it as a daily (Not financial advice) :)
@@stevenfedorov I want Tesla but I know that is not smart idea financially. For now, I will keep the Camry.
If it's paid off I would keep it and maintain it properly. Run it for another 3 years then sell privately and buy another 2 to 3 yr old car.
What happened to the transmission that you had to replace it? That seems unusual to me, especially for a Toyota... What's the back story?
Probably lack of transmission fluid changes or it never had any transmission fluid changes. The transmission fluid needs to be changed every 60k miles. Drain and fill, not a flush.
I have a video on my channel that explains the transmission issue.
@@stevenfedorov I just watched it. I’m not a Toyota owner, but something similar happened to me with my Volkswagen. My transmission was never serviced until 120k miles, which was around the mileage when it started to shift rough. Six months later after I do a drain and fill, it started slipping anyway. my trans replacement is out of a ‘09 Jetta 2.5l. Trans has less than 30k miles. I’ll be doing a drain and fill every 37500 miles/ 60k km like the manual says.
@@mikealicious3848 the car care nut channel is what everybody recommended me to listen so I did. He is a certified Toyota/Lexus technician. I watched his videos and he says to drain and fill every 30k-60k miles. Also he says not to do it too often because at that point the transmission can slip. Not sure if it works on other cars but it should for Toyota.
@@stevenfedorov His channel has helped me as well. I do follow his maintenance tips that applies to all cars, not just Toyota. His channel has given me direction of what I want for a first Toyota. Hope your Camry reaches 400k miles.
Very nice car! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
When the transmission breaks I wanted to know if the front tires were vibrating and how much it cost you to replace the transmission.
No they weren’t, I have a video on my channel that answers your question
Replaced the transmission?! something is wrong here, you shouldn't have needed to too that if it was maintained correctly.
It's a long story!
I drive the hell out of mine. 50 k miles so far 😊
Keep it up! ✊
I wonder how long a auto transmission will last without changing the fluid without any leaks etc? I would love to see real life review.
I’m sure some people have done that before; I wouldn’t want to risk it tho

Did you say you had to replace the Transmission?
Yes sir I did. I got a video on that too
Hi boss, please tell on how many miles u have changed the transmission fluid? And on how many miles u have changed break pads?
First transmission fluid was done at 120k miles but factory manufacturer will tell you every 30k-60k miles.
Break pads, well, I change mine whenever it starts to squeal
Hey brother how much transmission cost you? And at how many miles it went out at?, considering you did not have any issues with engine other than alternator, this thing is damn reliable
$4200 total cost to buy and replace transmission; it went out at 278k miles
That’s at a transmission shop, not dealership. Dealership will quote $8k for tranny replacement

@@ChandlerBlala no, haven’t touched on that yet
Did you replace transmission fluid every 60k miles?
Damn transmission did u ever do the flushes
Ah yea, 3 times before it went out on me! I got a video on my channel that proves it
How often did you change the trans fluid
I have a video on that on my channel
Did you say you also replaced the transmission? At what mileage was that replaced? Asking because I want to buy one that has 201,000 miles, is it worth it?
My transmission started shuttering at 250k; then it started slipping around 260k. It gave up at 278k miles.
If you decide to get one with that many miles, I highly recommend that you check that the transmission fluid was serviced every 30k-50k miles
