The 2009 Toyota Camry belongs to the 6th generation XV40 (2007-2011), built with 2.4L 2AZ-FE four-cylinder or 3.5L 2GR-FE V6 with a 5-speed or 6-speed automatic. It takes 5W-30 conventional or synthetic on the 2AZ-FE. Oil changes run 5,000 miles. This sits in the middle of the generation run, generally the most sorted point in a design before end-of-run cost reductions.
A 2009 Toyota Camry is 17 years old in 2026, which at an average 12,000 miles a year puts it around 204,000 miles - long-term ownership. Beyond 204,000 miles maintenance is mostly about deciding what is worth doing. Rubber and plastic components fail on age rather than mileage, corrosion matters as much as wear, and knowing what has already been replaced is the difference between a sound investment and throwing money at an unknown. On that mileage estimate it should already have had timing components on chain-driven engines and a full fluid refresh at 180,000 miles.
The fault most worth knowing about on this generation is Melting or sticky dashboard surfaces in hot climates, subject to an extended warranty programme. Owners also report Excessive oil consumption on the 2AZ-FE, a well-documented piston ring issue with a Toyota service campaign; and Stripped oil pan drain bolt threads in the aluminum pan, common enough to check before a change. None of these are certainties on any individual vehicle - they are the patterns worth checking for when you buy or when a symptom appears.

The table above is indexed by service interval. This is the same schedule indexed by odometer reading, for when you know your mileage and want the list. If your odometer sits between these figures, work back to the last one you passed and catch up anything skipped.
