The 2004 Toyota Camry comes with a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine designated as the 2AZ-FE. This naturally aspirated engine produces 157 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 162 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. It features dual overhead cams, 16 valves, and Toyota’s VVT-i variable valve timing system. The engine uses a timing chain rather than a belt, eliminating the need for regular timing belt replacements. 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 with the automatic transmission.

The 2004 Toyota Camry shares most parts with the 2002-2006 model years, which represent the XV30 generation. The 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine was used from 2002-2006, making engine components largely interchangeable. Body panels, interior trim, and suspension components are generally compatible across 2002-2006 models, though there were minor mid-cycle updates in 2005. The transmission, brake components, and electrical systems also interchange well within this generation. However, always verify part numbers as Toyota made running changes throughout production. Some trim-specific items like wheels, grilles, and interior pieces may vary by model year and trim level.

The 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine has mixed reliability. While the basic engine architecture is sound with a timing chain and robust bottom end, this generation suffers from a significant oil consumption defect affecting pistons and rings. Many engines will burn 1-2 quarts between changes after 80,000 miles. Regular oil changes with quality oil can help minimize issues. The engine is otherwise durable and can reach 200,000+ miles if the oil consumption is managed. Avoid engines with neglected maintenance or evidence of severe oil burning. When properly maintained and monitored, it provides adequate power and decent fuel economy for daily driving.
