Hi everyone, I recently bought a Camry 2023 and since is brand new I would like tk know the service and maintenance so I can do whatever is best for me.
1. Change of oil: Toyota recommends every 5,000 or 6 months whichever occurs first but my entire life I have heard 3,000 miles or every 3 months so this is shocking to me...
2. Powersteering fluids? How many miles to change it?
3. Brakes fluids? How many miles?
4. I heard for transmission oil 60,000 or less.
If anything maintenance I can give it to the car I will be appreciated. Specially for the paint since I don't have that much knowledge with the paint.

1. Change of oil:
Please see the FAQ. Don't be shocked. Also Scotty's video from today "Myths" answers your question.
2. Powersteering fluids? 3. Brakes fluids? How many miles?
they last a very long time. I would change it around 100k miles, or 10 years, or if it starts to look black or dirty.
4. I heard for transmission oil 60,000 or less.
yes 50 or 60k. See our FAQ.
Specially for the paint
just keep it clean and out of the sun
I bought a brand new 2021 Camry myself a couple years ago. So I'm going to share my maintenance tips.
1. 5000 miles or 6 months is correct. This actually applies for most modern vehicles.
2. The new Camry has no steering fluid. The steering is powered by electricity, not hydraulic power.
3. You don't need to change brake fluid unless needed, so check on it once a while, to make sure it's not contaminated.
4. Change trans fluid every 60,000 or 6 years.
5. Do yourself a huge favor. Ceramic wrap your car. Toyota paint on the Camry is super thin. I've had tiny chips on the front and side panels, and had to buy pain correction to touch up. The chips aren't noticeable unless you look for them. But I find them annoying.
