Engine Oil and Transmission Oil for 98 Camry

[Chand]

Dear Members,

I had 1998 Camry. I wants to do the flush for Power Steering Fluid, Transmission Oil and Engine Oil.

So I wants to know which brand oil is good to use for better maintainence.

I appreciate your feedback.

Thank You

Chand

Auto Rx -> Mobil 1 5W-30 (or 0W-30, since you are in Canada) for motor, Mobil 1 75W-90 for manual tranny

Is it an automatic or manual? 4 or 6 cylinder? How many miles? What is your driving schedule?

This engine is a sludgemonster, no kidding. I'd Auto-RX the car once, then replace the PCV valve and make sure that the engine is tuned-up, and the intake system is leak-free.

After Auto-RX, I'd run Esso XD3 0w-30 from an Esso Bulk Dealer at less than 4CDN/L at 1-year or 10,000 mi. intervals.

For the ATF, use Chevron Dexron III-H if it specs Dexron, or else use Pennzoil/Quaker State Multi-Vehicle.

For PS Fluid, use Chevron Dexron III-H if it calls for ATF, otherwise use the appropriate PS fluid.

The only thing i know how is engine & transmission oil change. What is PCV valve and is it easy to change? TIA

Positive crankcase ventilation valve. The hardest part can be just accessing the thing. It prevents your crankcase from being pressurized by blowby.

My car enigine is V6 automatic.

Chand,
MichaelWan gives you the best advice.
I own a '99 but I woundn't go 10k on the oil.

use a quality 10w30 dino oil and change it and the filter every 4-5k miles. religiously. it will be fine.
