• Toyota's New Engine Te...
The new A25A-FKS and A25A-FXS engine from Toyota is widely popular engine in 2020 across multiple Toyota models both gasoline only and toyota hybrid models.
This engine is a marvel of engineering with so many advancements in technology. It is possibly one of the most advanced and efficient Toyota engine ever made.
In this series I will go over it's key features that makes it different than other engines.
In this part of the series I will go over the following systems of the engine :
1- Variable valve timing VVt-Ie : This is one of the systems that have been majorly changed on this engine. Infinite control of valve timing up to 70 degrees on this engine!
2-DIY Tips including oil changes and Special coolant bleeding procedure
3- Parts location

would like to see your review of the hybrid version, and how this engine is adapted
Would you recommend this generation engine or the previous Camry engine and transmission in the 2015-2017 version?
Honestly they are both good. The old one is likely more diy friendly and more basic. But the advantages of gas mileage might be worth going with the complexity of the newer ones.
Gr8 Videos man. I was planning on getting a used 2018-2019 LE Camry. Is it possible to add paddle shifters for the LE from the Dealer?
Thank you for watching. It’s not possible to add them for reasonable cost as the software is different as well from LE vs SE
Great follow up to the 1st video. I really appreciate your closing statement. May the LORD bless you as well sir. Thank you!
I recently took my 2.5 2020 Camry on a short trip both uphill and back downhill on a 180 mile round trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I did a milage check and I came up with 37.4 MPG. On a long flat freeway trip...probably close to 40MPG! Totally amazing with this 2.5 Dynamic Force engine.
You really have to marvel at the software designers who designed the chips that allow the various systems to function.
I couldn't work out why one minute my RAV4 hybrid sounded like a bag of spanners and the next it didn't. Problem solved: It's the direct injection cutting in and out! Fantastic super clear presentation - thank you so much! 😊
Just did my first oil change on our new 2020 Rav4 with this engine - about 2,200 miles ahead of the 5,000 mile first scheduled service interval because I wanted to change following the break-in. As a DIYer (when I can), I *love* the information you've provided and feel like I've taken a mini-masterclass tour of this engine. The oil-free VVT system is phenomenal, and the combination port and direct injectors is an amazing engineering decision. And I absolutely notice the sound change when it switches from port to direct. I think every owner of this engine should be aware of the 3000psi fuel line!! Tremendous information and I will be mentioning your channel in my oil change video!!
Good! I am planning to change the break in oil in my RAV4 2024 once it hits 1500 km. Not going to wait till 8000 km as recommended by the dealership.
I'd recommend selling a car with this engine as soon as possible
Why@@mrgreen8231
I just bought a 2022 RAV4 and I’m blown away with this new technology. I’m a ASE L1 master tech and have been working on fleet vehicle’s for almost the last decade. I will admit I’m a little behind since I closed my repair shop almost 10 years ago. Working for a municipality is totally wonderful but you can easily lose sight of new vehicle systems quickly. Thanks for the insight of how wonderful my new Toyota is.
Thank you for another fine video! I've had my 2019 Camry two trouble free years and am glad to hear its 2.5L engine appears to be a good one. I'm so impressed with the fuel economy of this engine and 8-speed transmission in a fairly large car. I love this car and hope it will have the long term reliability of the other Toyotas I've owned.
I'm up way past my bedtime watching your video's. I just got a 2022 Camry Hybrid LE - It's my first hybrid car ever, and my first new Toyota - and I love the car. I knew the engine was unlike anything I had driven before, but your video's really show the thought Toyota put into this engine. Thank you for making such easy to understand and informative videos!
Do you have hood shocks or prop rod? Thanks
@@prule1335 It's a prop rod.
I've had a 2019 Rav4 with this engine for 16 months, all I can say is excellent, best car I've ever owned, and thanks a lot for your video.
Did you get the 8 speed transmission and did you feel like it got annoying because it shifted so much?
@@dougcaggiano3961 yeah the 8 speed is a hard pass. Toyota didn’t figure this one out since it’s inception.
@@2006rm250the 8 speed tranny was fixed in 2019+ Camrys. I had an early model ‘18 & the tranny had an annoying jerk on cold start up when going into reverse. Also if you cali stopped the car would jerk, dealer said it was “normal”. Total scumbags, but got a ‘19 Camry after my ‘18 was totaled & the trannys flawless! Issues gone!
Watching your brand new video is the highlight of my day, thank you very much The Car Care Nut.
I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thoroughly enjoyed part 2 as well. Thank you!
Great contents. I love how your videos focus specifically on Toyota cars and they are so updated with newer models.
Short comment from Russia. I have the Toyota RAV4 2021 and your videos are very intresting and helpfull for me as owner of such car. Thank you for your interesting overviews, and just one point, if compare your videos with others who just advertise or hate the cars you are are really cool. You are moving deeper in real technikal details and facts without any bla-bla. Thank you again.
Definitely an engineering marvel! Thank you for explaining everything in english for us!
Thank you for your explanations, this makes things a lot easier for me!
Amazing technology ... and excellently presented. Thank you for the effort in making the video.
We have 3 2019-2020 Camrys and these videos are very informative . Thanks
Very informative overview of the engine. Pointing out specific components was very helpful. Thanks!
I can't believe they can control the overlap of intake and exhaust valve to complete the exhaust push out with so little pressure at the end of the power stroke. Amazing control and implementation
Bought a Rav-4 with this engine last week- very appreciative of this video and its info! Good under warranty for a while, but this information will be great when I start getting the mileage up there. Thank you!
Thank you for these 2 episodes ! really cool!
That was a fantastic video, very informative like all your videos, I give them a thumbs up before I even watch them , because I know they’re going to be good
First time I am watching you and am impressed by your knowledge and the ability to convey the information so it is interesting and understandable.
Love the show and tell. Great video
Bought a 2020 Camry in September with the same engine. Great tour you gave on the A25A-FKS engine
Love this engine. 2018 carry sc. With 112k miles. My uncle has a 2019 camry hybrid with 280k . Never had a problem. Just regular oil changes at the dealer every 10k miles.
If it did 280k+ on dealer oil every 10k, that makes me less hesitant about a newer camry hybrid. I worry about repair costs with direct injection system and egr, but probably not gonna be an issue.
We have a 2020 Corolla manual, had it for about 18 mo now. Great engine overview. Thanks for the antifreeze change tip. Down the road I'm sure that is something I'm going to overlook.
I love this motor. Still learning stuff.
Thank you so much for your oil advice. We have a very good local Toyota shop, but they missed the boat on oil and put 0W-20 in our 2019 Camry. Luckly, we are retired and didn't Drive 5000 miles, so 6 months came up first. Hopefully no engine damage. We took the car to our Toyota dealer at the next service, who put in 0W-16 again. But even then, the tech who did the oil put a sticker for the next oil change indicating 0W-20. But the invoice said 0W-16 oil. So guessing the tech was lazy and didn't change the sticker machine. That said, we sadly won't bring our Camry back to the local shop, as it sounds like they just aren't trained on these newer engines. Your videos have been a huge blessing.
Shouldn’t do too much damage. I used 0W-20 in my ‘18 Camry & up until it got totaled at 80k miles. It was hard to come by 0W-16 but no issues at all. Now I’m in a ‘19 Camry but use 0W-16!
Thank you for your video. I now feel more comfortable when I open the hood of newer cars. Toyota is #1 and should be thankful for your service.
I'm addicted to your channel. I own a 2011 Camry LE , and a 2010 Camry XLE and a total Toyota fan and you are my favorite Toyota guy on CZcams. I bought the 2010 used and it has the dreaded 2 second cold start rattle. When I did the test drive obviously it was warm because it didn't do it. Please do a video repairing this issue. Keep up the great work.
These vids are just the best!
Thank you so much for your great videos! I bought a 2019 Toyota Camry LE with this engine. This car has been absolutely amazing in the 10,000 that I have driven it. (I bought it last year with only 31k miles). I have had almost every model BMW and also a Mercedes E320 turbo diesel that cost me well over $5k in maintenance and repairs the last year I owned it! I truly feel this is a car I can keep forever and I am excited to learn how to maintain my own car from here on out. I went yesterday to the Toyota dealership and bought brake pads for the front and the engine and cabin filter. I really credit you and your videos for the inspiration! I also will certainly be watching your video on changing the brakes for the Camry. I watched the video in full of you changing the rotors, wear sensors, and pads on your beautiful Mercedes. Again, many Thanks! May the good Lord bless you and provide health to you and your family! Jason S.
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative. I know now to leave it alone.
This Guy knows his stuff!!!
Mom has a 19' Rav4, lots to update her on but def the 0W16 engine oil. Coolant chg will be a bit funky. Thanks for the tips. Blessings.
that iscrazy!! awesome content btw
My wife bought a new 2021 Highlander Hybrid a few weeks ago. A beautiful vehicle in amber speckle paint. I believe it has this engine. First time I saw this video, we didn’t have the Highlander, now we do so I watched the series again.
That's my car I was asking you about in another video.
Thanks for your knowledge and professionalism
Amazing video! I just learned a lot about my new ‘23 Camry!
Another great service TY!!
Thank you as always...!
Great videos and a wealth of info, Thank u.
Very helpful & informative video💕💜
Keep up the great work!
Helpful and informative? Oh heck yes, but that's an understatement! You're explaining the whys being your recommendations that help us understand the engineering. The coolant bleed procedure? Priceless! Thank you! But this leads me to believe that even the very basic DIYers among us might benefit from reading about that and many other topics in the Toyota electronic shop "manual". For those of us who haven't researched it, it would be helpful if you gave us a link to the Toyota data and any other sources you know of so that we can avoid inadvertent blunders that might damage our high-tech Toyotas. I hope that future videos will touch on topics like brake pad replacement, the electronic parking brakes, tranny fluid replacement, etc. I'm an eager student and you're a great teacher. Thanks again.
Thank you sir! I have a few diy videos on the channel planning to add more as it’s possible for me.
Good day AMD! I was curious if you eventually will make a how-to video of changing the engine coolant on this system? I have the 2019 Toyota Camry 2.5L and wanted to know how to do this myself for future reference. Thank you so very much for all the time and effort (and free advice/tips) you spend on these videos. May God Bless you and your family!
Great video. Very educational. Thanks. And don't forget...use 0W16 oil!!
Enjoyed the information 🙌🏅
Just bought the 2024 Lexus with this engine great tips
Terrific video!
Thanx car care nut because if you I bought a Toyota Rav 4 2.5 and I am very happy with it
Greetings from Poland
Very informative
I’m a new Toyota Tech and I love your Videos, please continue making them , Have you even though about making more Technical videos for Technicians ? I think it would get a huge interest! Thanks Jon
Hi Jon! Some more technical information videos will come in the future
@@TheCarCareNut that’s great ! Thanks
Just amazing, your videos that is, oh and Toyota as well....Javi G.
Awesome tips!
Marvelous engine. My wife bought a 2023 Venza last year. During the sales process I was surprised that the Toyota salesman didn't point out even the basic virtues of the dynamic force engine?? You didn't mention the laser cladded intake valve seats. These are a minor improvement but absolutely unique in a mass produced engine.
thank you so much for the information
Great video as always, lot of interesting information. Hope one day to see a video about the Plug-in Hybrid engines :-) all the best :-)
Thank you! Series on how plug in hybrids work planned and being drawn out. Will come in the future
I want to add that in using 0-16 oil you need to make sure you use SP rated oil. They have really upped the bar on oil specifications with the new SP rated oil. The toyota brand 0-16 meets this spec. But in non-toyota oils you can use 0-16 SP oil. It is really a great oil and forced all the oil companies to up their game a lot. The SP rated oil just came into existence this year 2020. GREAT video! I have a new 2020 Camry and wanted to know all this stuff. I took it on a vacation and that Camry got 36 miles per gallon at a steady 80mph!! That is amazing!
My 2018 Camry Hybrid LE gets 51mpg with 4 passengers, AC in full blast at 75mph. I get 52mpg with just me at 80mph. Amazing car.
good report
Thank you for the informative video on this new and beautiful car I just purchased. This along with part 1 are full of information about this modern technology that Toyota is now dabbling into. Let's be honest, we can all be glad it has the 8 speed instead the CVT!
Oh My 😳 U are like A surgent & we are watching you from the above . You are Amazing Toyota surgent for real . ♾️ 🙏🙌👏👏👏👏👍👏👏👏👌🎯 🎯 🎯
Thanks for the awesome video!
Toyota should've paid you for that :) I was looking for any info on the engine when was buying 2020 Rav4 Hybrid and barely any out there and wasn't sure that I'm making the right choice, I see now that my decision was correct, nothing to worry about )
I hope there will be some part 3 of this engine on new hybrids :)
Thank you for watching my video! So on your hybrid RAV4 the engine is very similar. There’s no drive belt due to the electric ac compressor and no alternator.
Just bought a Rav4 2020 with 12000 miles on it myself hope it's the right decision!
No more belt driven power steering pump either so I guess 1 item not to worry about.
Great video ❤❤❤
Verry interesting video's about this engine. Thanks for sharing. A bit scary but hé ..... its a Toyota, so it should be OK ! :-)
You have made me only buy Toyotas lol Not only cause of the reliability of them but because of how well you explain maintenance. You helped me so much with doing my own maintenance. Great videos
Love your videos and all the knowledge you share! One thing I could do without is the background music distraction....but that's just me
Very good video
Great videos, been watch every one you’ve made 😁. Will you be making maintenance videos for this engine?
Hi! Yes I plan to once I get one to film with
My 2005 elantra had a plastic valve cover and i never once questioned the reliability of it despite it being plastic. It was so thick and strong feeling that i just trusted it. My new 2019 toyota chr is the 2nd vehicle ive had with a metal valve cover, my first was a 1997 dodge dakota. But i wouldnt have a fit with something like that. The place where im not fond of the use of plastic is in the cooling system. Ive heard of too many issues with plastic cooling parts cracking, and a coolant leak worries me more than any other type of leak on a vehicle.
Excellent series. 1st I've ever heard of that oil weight. Sure hope Mobil 1 or Redline have come onboard for this oil.
Excellent video explaining in understandable terms all the new features. As a retired engineer with 2016 Rav4 I can see one of this engines in the future when trade in for a 2024 Rav4. Love you videos learning so much about my Toyota. 🇨🇦😎😊
Great video thanks, now I have a better understanding about this motor I have a 18 camry se an have a nosie when driving from the motor an this video helped me figure out what it could be im thinking it's my intake manifold cracked or has a leak somewhere
I love it ! Merci !
I got a 2018 Camry LE instead of the 2017 LE with the older 2.5L engine because of this Video 🎉
Awesome... Congratulations on an awesome car.
It would be awesome if you would do a series on the 2018 to 20+ Camry Hybrids. Including where and how to clean the hybrid fan/filter. Thanks!
I have a 2021 Rav4 Hybrid XSE on the way with this engine. I typically do my own maint so the complexity is a little scary, but I suspect Toyota engineered it well. I usually don't keep vehicles for too long, but I plan on keeping this one for at least 10 years/150,000 miles. This thing is costing me a fortune, so I hope it holds up! You did a great overview, as always!
May need new *plastic* valve covers at 150K according to the video - no big deal he says. Maybe it's not, but I don't like the sound of that at all. A Toyota should last 25 years and/or 250,000 miles without major issues if well cared for, garaged, and driven gently. Just my opinion and have always respected Toyotas, but fear the complexity is becoming a bit too much.
@@madcowusa4277 What car doesn't need a new valve cover by 150k miles? But time can only tell, they can absolutely handle the miles, but does this new technology handle the time? only one way to find out! ;)
You won't have gas within 5-10 years. People will be forced to buy electric cars. These cars shouldn't last decades...
At this complexity level, I start thinking about electric cars too. An electric motor is far simpler than this. I am not sure that it is worth going any more deeper into this direction.
@@barnaczukor4235 forced to buy electric cars? Not sure about that one... Electric cars will become more popular and readily available, but petrol vehicles will always be here. Petrol doesn't have to be derivative of petroleum. And you assume that we will lose our freedoms of a free market in addition to the fact that we will all be provided a vehicle. Many can't afford to be 'forced' to buy a new car ...
@@barnaczukor4235 Utter hyperbole. Gas cars will still be rolling for at least another 20+ years. You forget that the fossil fuel industry runs this place. Petrol isn't going anywhere anytime soon, not in the USA anyway.
Just bought a 2021 RAV4 with this engine. After following your break in advice, i finally was able to do a few 0-60 runs and push the car a little harder. The power and responsiveness of this motor are exceptional, however i noticed a very faint high pitched whistle sound close to redline. Is this something i should be concerned about?
Also, just wanted to add that i absolutely love your videos! Your mechanical knowledge is insane, but i'm most impressed by your ability to explain complicated systems in an understandable way. Keep up the awesome content!!
Hi Cody! That whine is normal. 2 things cause the whine. At some point the oil pump will actually switch to even a higher pressure and start whining. Also the transmission pump does whine at higher Rpms. Totally normal and nothing to worry about.
i know the exact sound your talking about, i own a 2023 rav4 and it does exactly what you just described, ive also driven a 2021 rav4 and it does the same thing as well. doesnt really sound like a “whine” noise as in a worn power steering pump kind of noise its more of a high pitched whistle sound like theres some kind of air leak but id say its probably normal if both the rav4s ive driven and yours as well all do it
What a brilliant video. I bought the 2020 Camry SL in March this year and it's so interesting to hear about the car from someone who has such great knowledge of Toyota. Question: I thought the Atkinson cycle engine was only in the hybrid or have I got that wrong?
Thank you for watching my video! The Atkinson was the case with hybrids until this engine came out.
Can you please keep talking about the new hybrid on the 2020 corollas ???
I love your videos! They’re very informative and it makes me appreciate the work that you and other mechanics do as well as the engineering that goes into these well-made vehicles. I have one question, however. The owners manual for my 2019 RAV4 states that the oil should be changed every 10,000 miles unless extensive idling is done like if you’re a taxi driver or policeman (in which case it suggests 5,000 mile oil change intervals). I do about 65% city and 35% highway driving. I also don’t idle that much, I’m wondering if I should keep the 10,000 mile oil change interval or should change the oil more frequently like every 5,000 miles?
Hi! Other conditions that I would highly recommend the 5k oil change interval are short trips under 5 miles and cold weather below freezing. Do these apply to you?
@@TheCarCareNut how often would you have to be making the trips under 5 miles to warrant getting that 5k oil change? I go to class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and that trip is 3.4 miles each way.
It’s not specified it mentions frequently. That’s why I usually say play it safe and not guess and change it every 5k miles
شكرا جدا
Great video. Thanks. DIY part you looked right at the coils and didn't mention the spark plugs.
Thank you for watching my video Jeffery. I didn’t mention the spark plugs because nothing have changed there. It would probably take any DIY mechanic at any skill level 5-10 minutes to change them.
@@TheCarCareNut Gotcha. Yeah even though plugs don't need changing like in the old days, I was happy to see them so easy to get to.
At 09:26 i want to mention that this procedure called top up mode, I read from a repair manual of toyota that this mode activated by the following steps:
Move the shift lever to P.
Start the engine.
Run the engine at 1500 rpm or more for 5 seconds or more.
Run the engine at 3000 rpm for 10 seconds and then idle the engine for 10 seconds. (Repeat this step at least 3 times.) [*5]
Warm up the engine until the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly opens. While the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly is open, circulate the engine coolant for several minutes.
I dont think that the way you mention is 100% right, but definitely worth thanks, thanks
How do you know when the thermostat with the subassembly opens?
I love toyotas and this guy is great.. That said after whacking my knuckles working on cars over the years I like simplicity and less parts more and am looking forward to my first EV with batteries and wheel hub motors like the Aptera among others.
Good INfo and thanks for putting this together! OORAH Ja ja ja ja
Many of the components on this engine look like the engine in my 2020 RAV4 "Base" vehicle. The engine is very peppy, the vehicle itself is relatively "light" which gives the great fuel economy and very good power. "OIL IS CHEAP, ENGINES ARE EXPENSIVE" I said in your video on Toyota oil consumption, which is why the oil and filter are replaced every 6 months by me or the dealer to help eliminate the consumption problem and help to keep the high pressure fuel pump happy where it rides on its cam. Also, clean oil and lots of freeway (70 MPH) driving help to keep the engine running very well. It's a fun vehicle, I plan on keeping it that way!
Oh ya.. Thanks for the tip regarding the coolant change. I don't care how long coolant is supposed to last according to the manufacturer, "Change it every 2 years and eliminate problems!"
I've seen what happens when so called "Long Life" coolant is left in the engine for 4, 6 or more years! NOT GOOD!
Thank you for the tech tips. I'll keep this video and look forward to future videos.
Thank you for watching my videos. This engine is exactly the same as the one in your 2020 RAV4.
@@TheCarCareNut Very Good!
Great video man! Toyota should pay you, and pay well, you're actually selling a lot of Toyota's with your site...im not sure when I'm gonna buy again but I love this new engine!!! Just Make MORE MANUALS TOYOTA! MAKE THE SUPRA MANUAL OR I'M GONNA KEEP MY NISSAN Z!
Excellent information, I have a Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid 2017 so how can I clean the filter of Electric battery thank you.
Can you please make a video where you show how to change el coolant fluid in a Camry SE 2020, please. you are so good explain doing this. Thanks I know you will make it.
Thank you for such detailed introduction to A25A engine! I am impressed with Toyota's Port/Direct 8-injectors system. What year did Toyota upgrade GDI to the dual injection system? Really interested in those engines and plan on buying a vehicle specifically with that type of fuel delivery after hearing all the horror stories with GDI. Thank you so much in advance!
Per Wikipedia, A25A was introduced in 2017: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toyota_engines#Straight-4
Hi! The A25A was introduced in the Toyota line up in the US in the 2018 Camry which was essentially built in the end of 2017.
Such amazing design and engineering... Not that the 2AR is bad, but I hope we finally get the dynamic force engine here in Australia for 2021 in the 4 cyl petrol only models. Will definitely want to get one!
Australia currently has the dynamic force 4 cyl's in the Rav4: imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/3448/gBxMOF.jpg
@@4af ah I meant in the camry specifically but I realise now I didn't mention that in my comment, whoops!
I am totally amazed at my 2.5 Dynamic Force engine in my 2020 Camry LE (8,350 total miles) I recently took a 445 mile trip that put my car through just about all the scenarios a car could face including, freeway, hills, mountains, long gradual inclines, long gradual declines, 78 miles of winding uphill, downhill, sharp turns, not so sharp turns, manually downshifting, manually upshifting, and driving around a small coastal California town of Fort Bragg for two days. After I came back home I filled up the tank to check for the first time my gas milage turned out to be...an amazing "35.8 miles per gallon." I had to redo the numbers on my calculator to double check...445 miles divided by 12.4 gallons of gas. I am totally amazed! And all these miles were not "easy interstate miles"...only about 125, or so. My car performed better than I anticipated and this engine...totally amazed me! The car is rated for 39 MPG (freeway) on the window sticker. It looks like it would do even better! Totally amazing!
The motor and transmission are a great match. I also use manual mode. One pedal driving in traffic and engine braking down hill. Also 6,700 redline makes it sporty.
Thanks for a great pair of videos .... I’m considering a new Sienna which I assume uses this type of engine ... the pointing out of components was most helpful... perhaps you could at some point explain how the electric drive of the hybrid versions works and it’s components
Hi! Thank you for watching my video. This is the same engine in the 2021 sienna hybrid. I made a series explaining how hybrids work. Here’s a link to that series czcams.com/play/PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D.html
I just purchased the 21 Sienna and I'm totally in love with it. With this new engine under the hood combined with the electric motor, it has tons of power and instant response to throttle input. No matter how you drive, it will give you great gas mileage. I have to say you will never think that a four-cylinder engine is under the hood, it doesn't even run at high RPMs unless you floor it which would only be for short periods of time as it pulls really really well.
Simple toyota is king of autos.no other brand for me..
Still have the plastic valve covers on my 1994 Thunderbird. Never failed on my 1993 Crown Victoria.
Great video , from another licensed tech thanks for this info, there's little outside of Toyota about this powertrain yet. Do you know if the scanner can run a "coolant bleed mode" without 1500rpm plus?
Hey brother. The scan tool will not read bleed mode but you’ll see the water pump go to max rpm and all valves open
