How do you run a car out of oil? Camry's of that generation require an oil change every 5000 miles. If you were burning oil fast enough to run out within the service interval it would be leaving a puddle or have visible smoke from the exhaust.
The 4th generation Camry (97 - 2001) had the oil sledging problem but that was due to neglect. If you didn't change the oil on schedule it could sludge in some of the smaller oil passages.
