It's recommended to do when you are replacing the timing belt.
The 2.2 liter four cylinder engine in a 2000 Toyota Camry has a timing BELT
Timing belt
It has a timing belt.
If you have a 4cylinder not alot. But if you have a 6 then you can cry the blues like me. A least $1300 dollars.
No, it's not OK. You should use at least 5W30. In summer you can use 10W30.
Most Asian cars tend to have a timing belt. If you have a maintenance schedule, see if there is a timing belt change interval. If so, it is a belt.
I just replaced the timing chain for my 2000 Camry. I did the same thing for my last Camry, a 1996. The timing chain goes after the water pump bearings fail and jams everything up. Then I had to replace the timing belt, water pump, and all belts.
I4 engine requires the timing belt to be replaced every 90K miles. I would assume V6 has about the same servicing period.
The timing belt must be replaced every 90K miles. If you tow or drive in mountains you need change even earlier (60-70K).
