Toyota Camry Hybrid (2018–2024) Maintenance Schedule

This is the maintenance schedule and service intervals for the eighth-generation Toyota Camry Hybrid, sold for model years 2018–2024 in North America. It covers the front-wheel-drive 2.5-litre hybrid; the ninth-generation 2025+ Camry has a different hybrid system and needs a separate guide.

Toyota sold this generation in several regional specifications. The US schedule uses 5,000-mile/6-month checkpoints, while the metric schedule below uses 15,000 km/12-month checkpoints.

The 2018+ Toyota Camry is available in three engine specifications:

The hybrid has its own coolant circuits, transaxle, and HV battery cooling intake, so its schedule differs from the non-hybrid four-cylinder and V6 models.

The Camry Hybrid has a light routine maintenance schedule, but the time limits still apply to low-mileage cars. Follow the earlier of the distance or time interval and keep the HV battery air intake clear.

Toyota’s requirements vary by market. Use the schedule supplied with your car if it differs from the US and metric examples below.

Updates

  • August 2026: Closed this guide to the 2018–2024 eighth-generation Camry Hybrid.
  • Checked the schedule against Toyota’s final 2024 US Warranty & Maintenance Guide and corrected the hybrid-specific maintenance.
  • Clarified the HV battery cooling intake filter, engine coolant, and inverter coolant as separate service items.

What you need to service your Toyota Camry Hybrid (2018–2024, 8th gen)

If you want to do a service on your Toyota Camry Hybrid (8th gen), then you need the following fluids and consumable items.

The specifications below come from Toyota’s owner documentation and the final 2024 maintenance guide. Toyota may supersede part numbers or use different parts by market, so confirm replacement parts against the VIN.

ItemToyota Camry Hybrid (2018–2024) spec
Engine oilToyota recommends Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 0W-16, or another multigrade engine oil of ILSAC GF-6B rating. (Note: the Camry V6’s manual recommends a different grade oil)
Oil filterThe standard part number for the oil filter is 90915-YZZN1 for the Toyota Camry Hybrid (and many other Toyota engines)
Spark plugsFor the Hybrid and I4 engines, Toyota recommends DENSO FC16HR-Q8 spark plugs (these are different from the V6 engine)
Coolant (including Inverter Coolant)Toyota recommends Toyota Super Long Life Coolant, an OAT coolant based on ethylene glycol.
Engine air filterThe K&N air filter 33-3080 fits Camry Hybrids from 2018 onward.
Cabin air filterTry a K&N washable air filter, type VF2054.
Hybrid transmission oilUse Toyota Genuine ATF WS fluid.
Brake / clutch fluidUse Toyota DOT 3 brake fluid or another FMVSS No. 116 or SAE J1703 fluid DOT 3 fluid e.g. Valvoline DOT 3 and 4
GreaseUse lithium soap-based grease for the chassis.

Major Service Intervals for the Toyota Camry Hybrid

The US schedule repeats every 5,000 miles or six months. Toyota normally specifies oil and filter replacement every 10,000 miles or 12 months, with a 5,000-mile interval under the special operating conditions listed below.

The table below excludes special service needed when driving your vehicle in “special conditions” — e.g. dirt/dusty roads, towing, or driving in extremes of hot, cold, or stop-start traffic. See the below maintenance schedule for more detail on that.

The boldfaced items are specific to the Hybrid model. There are some other items omitted that aren’t part of the Hybrid’s maintenance schedule.

The service schedule in Europe / APAC is a bit different and doesn’t quite match up with the rows for that table — see the full maintenance schedule for the Europe / APAC Toyota Camry Hybrid below.

Maintenance schedule for the Toyota Camry Hybrid

Below is the maintenance schedule for the Toyota Camry 2018–2024 Hybrid adapted and simplified from the form in the manual.

This first table is derived from Toyota’s US maintenance guide for the 2.5-litre Camry Hybrid. It does not replace a market-specific service book; UK and other regional requirements may differ even when distances are shown in miles.

Notes on the maintenance schedule:

  • Most items have both time-based and distance-based maintenance intervals. Follow the earlier of the two.
  • At the end of the schedule below, follow it in the same pattern (every 1, 2, 3, 4 services etc.)
  • Some items are less frequent, e.g. replacing spark plugs or the coolant. They’re in a separate table below for “long-term” maintenance items.
  • The Camry Hybrid is not available in AWD (unlike the I4 and previously the V6), so those items aren’t shown.

Legend

The items below may have a letter marked against them meaning you only need to perform the service if you use the vehicle in a certain way. Here’s what they mean.

  • = Perform the service
  • D: Perform the service if driving a lot on dirt roads or dusty roads.
  • T: Perform the service when doing a lot of towing, using a car-top carrier, or loading the vehicle heavily.
  • F: Perform the service if regularly driving below freezing temperatures (32 degrees F / 0 degrees Celsius)
  • L: Perform the service if doing lots of low-speed driving or idling, e.g. heavy traffic time, or driving as a police, taxi, or delivery vehicle.

Below are items that are only done infrequently. They’re separated out as it’d be cumbersome to include them in the above table.

But if you’re buying a used Camry, check to make sure these have been done.

About the Toyota Camry Hybrid (8th gen)

The 8th gen Toyota Camry is Toyota’s bread-and-butter high-volume sedan. And the Hybrid option has been a popular one since launch, especially among fleet cars.

The Camry Hybrid uses a 2.5-litre (2487 cc) inline-four petrol engine with dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. The engine alone makes 131 kW (176 hp) and 221 Nm (163 lb-ft), while Toyota rates the complete US hybrid system at 155 kW (208 hp).

The front electric motor is rated at 88 kW (118 hp) and 202 Nm (149 lb-ft). Toyota does not add the engine and motor peak figures directly because they occur at different operating speeds.

Toyota calls the system Toyota Hybrid System II. It combines the petrol engine with a power-split transaxle and motor-generators. Some grades have simulated stepped shifts and a Sport mode, while EV mode allows short low-speed operation on electric power when battery charge and conditions permit.

Battery chemistry and grade availability changed during the generation and by market. Those differences do not change the US maintenance intervals in the 2024 guide.

Toyota moved the battery system from the trunk area to beneath the rear seat for the 8th gen Toyota Camry Hybrid. This helps keep the weight centered and the center of gravity low. They also made improvements in conversion and power generation efficiency, reducing energy loss by about 20% compared with the outgoing model, and reducing cooling system energy loss by about 10%.

Normal US use calls for oil and filter replacement every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months. The metric schedule uses 15,000 km or 12 months. Special operating conditions shorten the US oil interval to 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or six months.

The hybrid-specific work centres on the traction-battery air intake and the separate engine and inverter coolant circuits.

Toyota’s final US guide specifies the following hybrid-specific items:

  • Inspect the HV battery cooling intake filter every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or six months and clean it when dirty.
  • Clean the HV battery cooling intake filter every 32,000 km (20,000 miles) or 24 months in the US schedule.
  • Inspect both the engine and inverter coolant, then replace each circuit at its separate long-term interval.

The regenerative braking system does not remove the need to inspect the friction brakes. Toyota still calls for a visual brake inspection at every 5,000-mile/6-month US checkpoint.

Reference — Manual Screenshots from the Toyota Camry Hybrid (8th gen)

We checked the maintenance table against Toyota’s final 2024 Camry Hybrid Warranty & Maintenance Guide. The gallery preserves the earlier Toyota checklist screenshots used to compile the table; the final 2024 guide confirms the intervals and the exact HV battery cooling intake terminology used above.

Like for many Toyota vehicles, Toyota provides this maintenance schedule as a list of individual checklists at different mileages. We compiled it into a schedule for convenience.

Screenshots are below for reference.

The Europe/APAC maintenance schedule is shown below, in km and with larger (12-month) service intervals.
