SAE 30 and 5W-30 oil serve different purposes due to their viscosity ratings. SAE 30 is a single-grade oil suitable for warmer temperatures, while 5W-30 is a multi-grade oil designed for a wider temperature range, providing better performance in colder conditions. Substituting SAE 30 for 5W-30 may lead to inadequate lubrication during cold starts and reduced engine protection. It’s best to use the oil recommended by the manufacturer for optimal engine performance.

What is a good brand of oil to use in a 2004 4cly Camry?

All major brands are excellent. If your Camry has over 100,000 miles on the ODO I recommend you use a High Mileage oil. I personally use Pennzoil High Mileage SAE 5w30 in my Toyota Truck with 135,000 miles. It does not use one drop of oil and runs perfectly. Just make sure you use the correct weight that is recommended by Toyota.
