2014 Camry SE Sport and just hit 230k miles. Nothing major done on it besides replacing AC system (Texas summer is brutal and the compressor was failing) and new front struts.
My 96 Camry 265k has the original belt and pump.
Not sure if my opinion matters, but I use the Toyota version of the Mobil1 0W-16. Runs great.
I’ve been using Mobil one 0w-16 Toyota filters
I replaced mine with KYBs all around last year. Rides excellent and doesn't feel stiff. Reused the springs.
I got an aftermarket windshield for around $300 and have had no problems with the camera
For newer vehicles I am in the camp of: if you want the car to last a long time use the 5K change interval with the exception being in the first 10 K. For the first 10K miles I would do 3 changes (not just 2) to be sure any debris/material from the break in process is cleaned/ cleared out quickly before it can potentially metastasize into a bigger issue (much later on);
That looks like the water pump but I can be wrong. Also, there is no dipstick for the transmission anymore. Depending on the engine, there is a drain bolt on the side of the transmission on the driver side I believe near the drivetrain.
How many miles do you have? Its probably time to change the water pump if it's making noise and if it is, it needs to be replaced before it causes a whole world of hurt to your wallet.
I just want a metal body for the spin-on filters in case they’re put on too tight. I’m not a mechanic, but have tore the shit out of a Fram oil filter trying to remove it. The Mobile 1 filters work well on my Camry.
The 2AZ-FE 4 cylinder comes to mind. It came with defective rings and pistons that make it prone to burning too much oil. This in turn also makes it have an early failure of the catalytic converter due to the oil clogging it.
