Just picked up a 2000 Camry LE w/leather,sunroof 2.2L due to me loosing my job. Has 214k miles was well maintained for the engine oil change and most maintenance. After a full buff and detail inside and out here is a good pic of her. Sadly it started to leak badly on oil. So it went in a week early to my buddys shop to get the work done.
Not sure if I want to switch to Synthetic and just stay with a good Dino oil? What do you guys think of this and what is your opinions of the engine inside?
$2k worth of work. List below:
Putting new struts Monroe Quickstruts. Original OEM still on the car.
Change brake, power steering, coolant and trans fluid's
Timing belt kit with water pump, oil pump seals and gasket, crank and cam seals and distributor seal.
Oil pan seal
Valve cover seal with spark plug o rings
New plugs NGK and wires
New pcv valve
New air filter
New fuel filter
New radiator cap
New lower camber arms
New thermastat
New brake pads front and rear and resurface rotors/drums
The way the car looks now after a detail and some of the leak and in the process of leak being fixed. Also some shots under the valve cover. This used Kendall Oil (regular oil not synthetic) for the life of it. It looks great for 214k miles.
Oil pump fixed with new seal.
