Maintenance and care
Install the filler cap, turning it clockwise.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and
full on the dipstick is indicated as follows:
2.4 L 4-cylinder (2AZ-FE) engine
1.2 qt. (1.1 L, 1.0 lmp. qt.)
3.5 L V6 (2GR-FE) engine
1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp. qt.)
■ Recommended viscosity
2.4 L 4-cylinder (2AZ-FE) engine
5W-20 or 0W-20
*1: SAE 5W-20 or 0W-20 motor oilmay be used. However, SAE
0W-20 is the best choice for
fuel economy, and good start-
ing in cold weather.
3.5 L V6 (2GR-FE) engine
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy, and good
starting in cold weather.
*2: If SAE 5W-30 oil is not avail-able, SAE 10W-30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 5W-30 at
the next oil change.

Engine oil consumption
●The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
● More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
● A new engine consumes more oil.
● When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu-
rately.
● Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per
1000 km)
● If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles
(1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)
To reset the oil change system, follow the procedure below:
1. Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch or engine switch OFF with the
trip meter A reading shown. ( P. 149)
2. While pressing the trip meter reset button ( P. 141), turn the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch or engine switch ON.
Without multi-information display
3. Continue to press and hold the knob until the trip meter displays 000000. With multi-information display
3. Continue to press and hold the knob until “COMPLETE” appears on th\
e multi-information display.

Oil viscosity
● The 5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startab ility. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
● The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its oper-
ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited
if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
