huh? You can drive all day, every day in overdrive, will save you on fuel, but make it more sluggish to drive. Its just a transmission settign to save fuel.

The Overdrive in the camry is on from when you start the car, you have to push the button to turn it off.

as the manual said, you should always have it on... ;) ;) ;)

It won't damage your car, in fact having it off will more likely damage it :P

You have a 3 speed Auto with Overdrive making it a 4 speed.

With O/D On, your car will engage O/D at speeds over 60km/h

With O/D Off, your car stays in 3rd gear.

It wont do any damage to your car unless it's always in redline, but you'll use alot more fuel.

Most of the time you won't need it, as the Auto will kick down on it's own when you accelerate hard.

Carlo's Tip for the day: Turn off O/D when braking, or going down steep hills. The car will pull up more quickly like selecting a lower gear in a manual.

and remember, when O/D light is on, over drive is off, when the O/D light is off, overdrive is on....

The light was put there so that you turn the overdrive on and keep it on while driving normally...

L = 1st gear

2 = 2nd gear

OD selector button = 3rd gear

D = 4th gear

it would cause engine wear if constantly using them right ?

gearbox wear more likely.

someone taught me the same thing, but i find putting pedal to the metal on D is more effective :unsure::unsure::unsure:

My old wide body Camry had a power button and an overdrive button.

All the power button did was change the revs between gear changes so that it revved out a bit more and gave the impression of a bit more get up and go.

My new Camry only has the overdrive button but I think it does alter at what revs the gearbox changes as well but now only with the one button.

I think the new Auto in the Camry adapts the shift points to your driving so that does away with the need for the old style "Power" button.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
