2015 Toyota Camry - Maintenance Log

Maintenance & Fuel Log for 2015 Toyota Camry XLE

Total Maintenance Cost Lifetime:

  • 2022: $1,200
  • 2023: $1,370
  • 2024: $385
  • 2025: $305

Total: $2,955

Currently, I'm averaging $985 a year in maintenance cost but this is due to emphasizing preventive maintenance.

Maintenance Cost by Type

  • Consumables (23%)
    • Tire Rotations and Alignments: $205
    • Brakes and Rotors: $325
    • Battery: $135
  • Preventive (53%)
    • Oil Changes: $500
    • Fluid Change/Cleaning: $1,050
  • Engine (15%)
    • Belts: $300
    • Spark Plugs: $140
  • Other Services: $300

Total Maintenance Cost: $2,955

The cost is heavily weighted on preventive as I want to keep this car for at least a decade and thus far am pleased with the quality of the engine and powertrain.  I should see it start to trend down as all I need are oil changes for most years.

2015 - 2021

Based on previous owner history they meticulously maintained it with oil changes every 5k miles.  Part of the reason I purchased this car as I don't agree with the Toyota 'recommended' 10k interval.

Sony MDR-ZX100 vs ZX-110 vs ZX310 Series Headphones

Sony ZX Series Headphones Review: A Budget-Friendly Sound Choice If you’re on the hunt for budget-friendly headphones with decent quality, the Sony ZX Series is definitely worth considering. I happen to own several models from the lineup: ZX-100 ZX-110 ZX-310 Let’s dive into how they compare in terms of build quality, cost, specs, sound, and overall value. Build Quality: ZX-310 Takes the Lead The Sony ZX series headphones primarily feature a durable plastic construction. My ZX-100 has lasted over 2½ years, enduring countless tosses into my backpack and car without any issues. However, the lower-end ZX-100 and ZX-110 models have a significant downside: poor-quality earpads. Over time, these earpads disintegrate, leaving vinyl flakes that stick to your hair and ears. The ZX-310, on the other hand, comes with upgraded earpads that don’t suffer from this problem, making them a clear winner in the build department. Cost Comparison: ZX-100/110 Wins for Affordability While the ZX-310 model co...

Casio G-Shock 5600 vs 6900 vs 9000

G-Shock Preferences and Favorites After trying out several G-Shock models, I've developed a better sense of the specific features and design elements I appreciate most. While features are always a plus, my main priority is size . Here's how some of the models I've tried stack up. Size Preference: DW-5600 Series For overall size, the DW-5600 series stands out as a favorite due to its compact, comfortable form. It’s slim, lightweight, and fits well on my wrist without being too bulky. Although the 6900 series provides the benefit of a well-placed front illumination button, the 5600 remains the ideal size for everyday wear. Best Compromise: G9000 Mudman Series If I had to choose a balanced option between size, comfort, and functionality, the G9000 Mudman series would be it. The buttons are slightly tough to press, but the layout and form factor resonate with what I prefer in a G-Shock. Despite having different module versions (GLX, G, and DW), I find that these models offe...
