A 2001 Toyota Camry’s oil type is 5W-30 motor oil. Synthetic is okay, but the Camry’s manual says to make sure that whatever brand you get has the American Petroleum Institute (API) seal on it.

Per the owners manual (p. 250), the 5S-FE engine (2.2 L 4 cyl) takes 3.8 Qts. With filter change and 3.6 without. The 1MZ-FE Engine (3.0 L. 6 cyl) takes 5 Qts with the filter and 4.8 without. Go to the edge of the drivers door and check the model code. If it starts with SXV20 it is the 5S-FE. If it starts with MCV20 it is the 1MX-FE engine. My vehicle was made in KY, USA.

My Toyota 4Cylinder Camry, says on the motor 3.6 quarts… You’re adding a quart and a half to this… Wondering why? Don’t want the oil to leak out of all the gaskets and oil filter

isafiadeo, change your engine oil regularly, using an API certified, grade SJ or better engine oil. 5W30 is the preferred viscosity, but you may use 10W30. Use this guide to change it. Hope this helps, good luck.
