Any '12 Camry Maintenance Guide Recommendation?
We just purchased a ’12 Camry SE and usually do most maintenance myself. Does anyone have a recommendation for a particular maintenance guide, such as Chilton or other brand? Thanks

your Camry prolly came with user manual, right? mine has PAGES on maintenance. nothing special, really. oh, and you won't be able to buy a 2012 Chilton anyway, it's too early.
change oil every 8- 10 000 miles. you should have synthetic in from the factory, I stick with Amsoil, changes done at around 12 000 miles. use Mobil 1 filter, about best possible, followed by K&N and Purolator. your ATF allegedly is 100 000 miles, but I'd change it at 50 000. put K&N air filter in and forget about it for the next 50 000 miles. cabin filter will need to be replaced at prolly 20 or so K miles. buy only charcoal one, or it will take smells from the outside in. rotate tires every 6- 10 000 miles and keep them equally inflated. engine chain is lifetime. serpentine is 100 000 miles. spark plags are iridium tipped good for 100 000 ( I changed mine anyway at 50 K). that's it. |
Thanks for summary detail on maintenance list and that engine is now chain timed. My sister-in-law has '97 Camry, engine looks very similar to the '12; I was assuming '12 was belt timing when we bought; very cool now chain . . . one less thing to worry about. Appreciate the information!
