Applies to every 2026 US Camry: all are hybrids (FWD or AWD) with the 2.5L A25A-FXS four-cylinder - there is no V6 and no conventional automatic, so no V6 or WS ATF service applies. Toyota specifies SAE 0W-8 oil (0W-16 only as a one-change stopgap), changed every 10,000 miles or 12 months (5,000 miles / 6 months on dusty roads or short trips below freezing). The hybrid transaxle uses Toyota Genuine e-Transaxle fluid TE: inspected every 30,000 miles, replaced at 60,000 and 120,000 miles only if you tow, use a car-top carrier or carry heavy loads. Cabin filter every 10,000 miles, engine air filter every 30,000, iridium spark plugs (DENSO FC16HR-Q8) at 120,000, engine coolant first at 100,000 miles and inverter coolant first at 150,000. New for 2026: AWD cars get a rear differential inspection every 30,000 miles. Average annual cost: $400-$550.

The 2026 Toyota Camry belongs to the 9th generation (2025-present), built with Hybrid-only: 2.5L A25A-FXS four-cylinder with a hybrid transaxle (e-CVT), FWD or AWD - no V6. It takes SAE 0W-8 (0W-16 only as a one-change stopgap). Oil changes run 10,000 miles or 12 months. This sits in the middle of the generation run, generally the most sorted point in a design before end-of-run cost reductions.
A 2026 Toyota Camry is brand new in 2026, which at an average 12,000 miles a year puts it around 0 miles - still under warranty. At roughly 0 miles this vehicle is still early enough to be inside the range most manufacturer warranties cover. The most valuable thing you can do this early is start a service record - it is worth real money at resale and it is nearly impossible to reconstruct later. The next milestone on its own schedule is 30,000 miles, roughly 2.5 years away at average use, listed as: Replace engine air filter, Inspect the hybrid transaxle (e-Transaxle fluid TE) for leaks, Inspect fuel lines and connections, fuel tank band and vapor vent hoses, and the fuel tank cap gasket, Inspect rear differential (AWD only).
The fault most worth knowing about on this generation is Typical first-year software and infotainment reports. Owners also report Too new for meaningful long-term failure data; and Hybrid-only range means no non-hybrid fallback for buyers avoiding battery service. 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.

Maintenance keeps these away, but when the dash does light up these are the codes this vehicle throws most often - each with what it means and what the repair actually costs.
