I wouldn't recommend it. The tolerances for the main bearing for the engine tend to be pretty tight, and using oil of a weight that much higher than what the OEM recommends could lead to that main bearing not getting properly lubricated.

1996Toyota Camry20w50 is the best choice for that old of a car. I have driven many older cars and this weight lubricates the engine great! I even have my mechanic put it in my van when oil change time comes.Correct Oil to Use.The Car calls for 10W-30, 20W-50 would be used only if you had extremely high mileage on the car. An you were trying to put off rebuilding the engine for a time. Also the 20W-50 would lower your MPG's.
