4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level while holding a
rag under the end. If it is between the full level mark (
5 ) and
the low level mark ( 4 ), it is O.K.
NOTICE
Be careful not to drop engine oil on the vehicle
components.
G62023
GS430 GS300
If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level
mark, add engine oil of the same type as already in the
engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil a little at a time,
checking the dipstick. We recommend that you use a funnel
when adding oil. The approximate quantity of oil needed to
raise the level between low and full on the dipstick is indicated
as follows:
1.5 L (1.6 qt., 1.3 lmp. qt.)
For the engine oil capacity, see “Specifications” on pages 520
and 523.
When the level reaches within the correct range, return the
filler cap and turn the cap clockwise until you hear a click.

*Change automatic transmission fluid only as necessary.
Generally, it is necessary to change automatic transmission
fluid only if your vehicle is driven under one of the Special
Operating Conditions listed in your “Owner’s Manual

automatic transmission fluid, use only “Toyota Genuine ATF
Type WS” ( ATF JWS3324 or NWS9638) to aid in assuring
optimum transmission performance.NOTICE
Using automatic transmission fluid other than “Toyota
Genuine ATF T ype WS” may cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied
by vibration, and ultimately damage the automatic
transmission of your vehicle.
