What oil for 2011 Camry, 200 K ?

[Japanese]

This is the Camry 2AR-FE so called Variable discharge oil pump or 3-stage oil pump:

Toyota might came up with this oil pump to compensate for the low viscosity 0W20 oil and improve oil pressure and lubrication at low and high RPM.

What is it then?

There are other examples of a grade where the one with a 0W rating is thicker.

Well, according to himemsys "Viscosities of various 0w20 and 5w20 oils." the EP 5w20 was 9.00 and the AFE 0w20 was 8.80.

It could go either way of course, but I think based on all the numbers in that table I'm going to guess that the 5W-20 and 0W-20 are swapped as well. A previous version I found the PDS for was 8.9 cSt. Not that it matters, since they are virtually identical.

OP joined in 2023 and asking this question. I am surprised he is not being flamed for.

Full synthetic, 5k oci, OEM recommended viscosity

It is Camry with 2.5L reliable engine. Stick with the OEM and do shorter 5k miles oil change. That is the best for the engine, especially if it starts consuming engine oil.
Valvoline RP may clean up the varnish if it has sticky piston rings. It takes time but worth to try.
Most engine oil that meet the spec are more less the same. Full synthetic 0w20 from Napa, Supertech, Kirkland will perform just as good and sometime better than expensive brands for the same spec (Dexos 1 gen 3) if 5k miles is too often for you.

I run 5w30 in my Toyotas they call for 0w20.. I just always ran 5w30 and still do

Another vote here for M1 EP HM, 0W-20.
