To summarize Camry buying guide (2015-2017) - [ ] Check for front timing cover oil leak - [ ] Transmission fluid changes every 60k? - [ ] Check for excessive rock chips on hood possible rust spots(due to shape of hood) - [ ] Chassis- if squeaky (especially in cold) front sway bar bushings need to be replaced - [ ] Radio - see if dealership does updates to solve any radio problems

A friend of mine is a Chippewa Indian. He is well acquainted with rough outdoor life and vehicles that get you to those places. His reason for buying a Toyota truck was: "in videos from the middle east the trucks with 50Cals mounted in the bed and bursting through sand dunes, climbing mountains, and charging into firefights are all Toyotas--very old Toyotas. If they're good enough for a middle eastern terrorist, it's good enough for me. LOL, I love that guy.

I own the 2017 Camry SE. Bought it new for $19k and change, out the door during end of model year sale. The car is bulletproof and drives like silk. The 4cyl is excellent, the trans is perfect, love the paddle shifters. I'm not a fan of Toyota's sport shift logic, but you get used to it. 2018+ Camrys look great, but, transmission issues have been problematic for many. Although somewhat boring and lacking tech, the 2017 Camry is a fantastic driving machine that is simply reliable. In contrast, we have a 22 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited. Also a nice vehicle but the 1.6T engine is pretty crappy. Paid 2x more for the Hyundai and got ½ the ride of the Camry. Two different vehicles, but if my life depended on a cross-country trip, guess which one I take?

Huge help thank you AMD! My son dad and I went to pick out a reliable used car for my son. First we drove a 2010 Prius 1 real nice yet financing was difficult due to the age. So we then drove a 2016 Camry XLE 4 cylinder. Will check good for any oil weeping on the timing chain area like you suggested. The car only had 65,000 miles which is pretty darn good considering it’s 2024. It runs like a champ and has leather heated seats tan interior, black exterior. No vibrations or funny noises. The oil was very clean when I checked. I’ll tell him to have the tranny fluid changed soon like you suggested too. Love the car and I believe, barring any accidents, that he will have the car a long time. He’s the son that keeps the interior spotless and drives a car easy. Love all your videos!!!

I bought a '15 SE 4 cyl. brand new. It currently has 109k miles and not a single issue other than routine maintenance. Though looks like I will need to get the trans fluid done because I didn't realize they say it is lifetime... no fluid is lifetime. I bought a discounted (negotiated to $1,000) 75k service plan. I also bought a 100k extended warranty when I first bought the car (negotiated to $1,500 - which was never used). I do a lot of highway driving. The thing I have noticed every once in a while is the trans will shift very late sometimes. Though I think this may be because I apparently have 109k trans fluid. The hood chips are real and I should stay more on top of that (I even have some roof chips just above the windshield).

My mother purchased a 2015 Hybrid in 2020 and the hybrid battery gauge was and still is showing a consistent average of -2 bars (I can't remember maybe out of 10). It stays the same unless driven in the mountains when it regenerates more on longer descents. I think there's been very little to no hybrid battery degradation and yes I've kept up the maintenance on the filter for the battery.

Hey AMD, you are arguably the best and most informed person out there, surely very informative video. I bought a 2017 SE Hybrid, and since then have watched most of your hybrid videos, and cant thank you enough for your valuable inputs. I had 2 questions 1. As advised by you, I checked the air vent for battery on driver side rear door, I dont think it was ever cleaned in first 3 years of first lease period, so I did remove the seat and cleaned the outside portion of the filer and the surrounding area, however I wasnt able to reach the filter which is behind the seat itself, how frequently that needs to be cleaned/changed ? 2. how frequently invertor coolant needs to be changed for the battery. Many thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the great work.

@TheCarCareNut 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So the filter behind the vent on your Camry requires the seat bolster to come out to get cleaned or replaced. I’m trying to find a similar model to film with in the Chicago area. So you’d want to clean that filter or replace it when it starts showing signs of getting clogged. On the inverter coolant first replacement is at 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k or 5 years afterwards.

My 2017 is doing great with 70k miles. I do let it warm up a little bit so the transmission doesn't shift slowly. I heard you mention before this could add additional wear. Didn't trust the newer 8 speed transmission in the newer Camry's so opted for this model. The only thing I would ever trade it in for would be a 4 runner.

So I have a 2016 Camry (4 cylinder) - just replaced the driver side axle, tie rod end, and ABS speed sensor. Drove it home (2.5 hour drive) and now I've got what I believe to be a transmission leak. AMD: "These are bullet proof." Me: 😒 lol - just my luck, I guess. I've had the car for 117k miles (original owner) and this is honestly the first time I've had to start replacing things that aren't just routine. I even went 116k miles on the original brakes and rotors. Oh, and you were spot on about the hood. I've had a small dent in mine since the first month I had the car! 😆

I have the 2015 LE, runs like a dream, not one problem 47K. Comfortable, dependable and economical - a winner. I was thinking of trading it in on a 22 Camry Hybrid. The trade in price is tempting but after watching this video AMD made a point about battery life in hybrid if it is not driven much, which would be my case. So he changed my mind. Then I thought about the 22 gas Camry. Well these have direct injection, which I think is inferior long term to port injection. So I am sticking with my 2015.

2018 and after Camry and other toyota gas engines have both direct and port injection(both at the same time present) to prevent carbon deposits like most of the other manufacturers have.toyota does not have the carbon problem from what I have read so far.

My uncle checked with the assistant service mgr he's friends with at different Toyota dealer he uses and same thing, since there isn't a code they are saying that Toyota won't authorize payment under warranty. I really like the car but this issue really irratates me. The vibration makes it feel like you are driving over rough pavement even on a newly paved road. Anyway I enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. Not much you can do without the car LOL. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Nice video full of good information I purchased a 2015 Camry LE last month and before I bought this Camry I test drove a lot of the Se around the same year and 2016 ,and to me I liked the LE for the ride the se rode harder is this due to the sport suspension?

Finally, found the experienced Toyota Camry mechanic! Your channel is just simply great!!! And I have a question: What is the automatic transmission fluid change TIME (not milage) interval? I did not find anything in the owner manual, either on the internet. I have very low mileage on my 2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6 (just 28000 miles), and I use the time intervals for maintenance instead of the mileage intervals. I asked the service adviser at the dealership and he said ATF has to be changed every 5 years if the time interval is used. But you said Toyota does not recommend the ATF change at all (again, nothing in the owner's service manual).

@TheCarCareNut 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I would change the transmission fluid every 60k or in your case every 6 years.

Hi, I'm a frequent and have learned a lot from your videos. I have a 2013 Avalon Hybrid that's running excellently except there's a rattling sound coming from the engine only while accelerating from a stop and/or while going uphill. No CEL or codes are coming up. It's become progressively worse over the past 15k miles (I now have 140k), and now MPG is down to about 35 City. I've been to two mechanics with good reputations and both say that they can't hear it and that there's nothing wrong with the car. Any thoughts or suggestions? ... Btw, I'm on top of the maintenance, all fluids earlier than manufacturer recommended intervals and new OEM spark plugs at 100k. I've already tried multiple different gas brands and Techron fuel system cleaner. Thanks

I have a 2015 SE and it has been fantastic! I got the extended warranty and had to have my radio replaced twice because of Bluetooth issues. I didn’t know about the oil leak issue, but thinking about it, I do believe my Camry does have that issue. It has been the best car that I’ve ever owned to date!

@@subaruamazon not if they have all of the service records. If there’s no verifiable service, I would be a little leery. That’s the case for any vehicle though. If there’s verifiable service done to the vehicle it shouldn’t be a problem with that mileage. Just be sure to check a pre-purchase inspection done on the vehicle by a reputable mechanic. I would avoid the 4-cyl model. Many times I wish that I had the V6 because of needing extra power at times to pass on two-lane roads or extra power to get up and go in critical situations. The 4-cyl just doesn’t provide that power when needed. 😢 All in all, 2016 should be great! Mine has almost 168k on it and I religiously change the oil every 5k myself and I have only had to replace the alternator at 121k and the battery at 130k. It’s been a fantastically reliable car!

@@jeremycarter my 07 se is good but am surprised to find so many repairs in five years and 50k miles from when i bought it in 18 - alt, bearings, valve gasket cover, water pump, fuel pump just this thursday. I hear v-6's are to die for. they are a pain to tune up with the front back plugs coils. If i can snag a good 15 to 17 i will do it. kind of a tricky time. saw no new tacomas or camrys this week driving by a NJ toyota dealership. and then there are those at the dealership, i saw one talking to a salesman, with the 15 17 probably looking for a 23. everyone wants to upgrade lol.
