The 2005 Toyota Camry comes with a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine designated as the 2AZ-FE. This naturally aspirated engine produces 160 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 163 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. It features dual overhead cams with variable valve timing on the intake side (VVT-i) and a compression ratio of 9.6:1. The engine uses a timing chain rather than a belt, eliminating the need for timing belt replacement. It’s paired with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission and delivers EPA ratings of approximately 24 city/33 highway MPG.

The 2005 Toyota Camry shares most parts with the 2002-2006 model years, which represent the XV30 generation. The 2.4L engine components are largely interchangeable throughout this range, though there were minor updates in 2005. Body panels, interior components, and most mechanical parts interchange well within these years. Some electrical components may vary between pre-2005 and 2005-2006 models due to minor wiring changes. The transmission, suspension components, brakes, and steering parts are generally compatible across the entire generation. However, always verify part numbers as Toyota made running changes during production that could affect compatibility.

The 2AZ-FE 2.4L engine has mixed reliability, primarily due to the well-documented oil consumption issue affecting many units. When not affected by this defect, the engine is generally dependable and can reach 200,000+ miles with proper maintenance. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles are crucial, and owners should monitor oil levels frequently. The timing chain is robust and doesn’t require replacement like timing belts. Other components like the water pump, alternator, and starter typically last 150,000+ miles. Despite the oil consumption problem, many consider it reliable when properly maintained and monitored.
