I am not sure about what engine my Camry has. Is there a way to find out?
Yes, we get this question frequently. In our personal experience, a great way to find out what kind of engine you have is by looking at the VIN number. Use Google to find a good resource or site that decodes the VIN for your Camry as part of the VIN contains the engine size or code. Engine [G] 5S-FE is a 2.2 or 4-cylinder engine and engine [F] 1MZ-FE is a 3.0L engine. In a hurry? We looked it up for you! The 5th digit of the VIN will either be F or G. So a G is a 2.2L and an F means you have a 3.0L engine.
We mentioned the process because you may have another vehicle and this method is useful.
