Vehicle specifications
*1: 0W-20 is the oil that provides the optimal level of fuel efficiency.
*
2: 5W-30 is the oil that provides the optimal level of fuel efficiency.
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.
Recommended oil
viscosity Use Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the grade and vis-
cosity shown below.
