I've just bought a 2005 Camry Altise V6 and have a question about its
performance when cold. It revs at over 2000 when cold but settles down to
800 when it warms up. Is this normal for this model ?

Appreciate some advice.

Gordon

Yes, my 2000 Camry LE 4 Cyl., when cold always revs high. Once warm,
it settles back down.

No its not normal for all those that said theirs do it also, When
cold, oil is thick and doesnt get to the top end of the motor quickly,
at very high rpm the oil can be thick enough to open the oil filter
bypass valve giving you dirty oil to the motor. Below zero is when
this is a big issue as oils get thicker as it gets colder. Oil
starvation occurs at extreme cold, it has been stated near 40-50% of
all engine wear can occur just on cold startups, even the overdrive in
my model wont engauge until the motor is near 110f, and thats a
factory design. Mine starts at near 9-1100 rpm and goes quickly to
6-700. Get it fixed, in summer you wont kill it but near zero and
below you really hurt the motor. This is why I use synthetics, they
pour at lower temps, do a google on oil starvation at startup in cold
temps.

2000 rpm would be like starting you car and immediatly drining on the
highway, you just never do that when its cold out, right. its very bad
for the motor, I wont even reach those rpms when its warm out, the
motor has to warm up first.
