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.
No, on the 3S-FE there is no PCV valve or grommet. This is the 4cylinder model. The camry V6 of the same year on the other hand, does utilize a PCV valve in its crankcase ventilation system.
