Consumer Review Video - 1998 Toyota Camry XLE 3.0L V6
Common problems and easy repairs on a 1998 Camry
The 1998 Toyota Camry XLE is a very easy car to maintain. The headlights are easily accessible by simply reaching behind the housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The transmission fluid dipstick can be quickly found towards the right of the engine bay, and is easy to remove and read its fluid level markers. The engine air filter can be changed without a problem, as its housing can be disengaged without the use of any tools.
However, the 1998 Toyota Camry XLE does have its setbacks, mainly with its lights. The tail lights will require multiple panels and fasteners in the trunk to be removed for access, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. The center brake light is not an LED bulb, and will require more maintenance over time than similar models. The front turn signal will require a bulb housing removal, and disconnecting its housing may prove to be problematic.
