Engine oil
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
nChecking
the engine oil
Park the vehicle on level ground. Af
ter turning off the engine,
wait more than 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the bot -
tom of the engine.
Hold a rag under the end and
pu
ll the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check
the oil level.
Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it fully. Low

nRecommended viscosity
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice,
for
good fuel economy, and good
starting in cold weather.
*: 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.
n How to read oil container labels
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Com

mittee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to
help you select th e oil you should use.
Outside temperature
nEngine oil consumption
l The
amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
l More oil is consumed under driving conditions
such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
l A new engine consumes more oil.
l 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.
l Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt
./600 miles (1.0 L per
1000 km)

308 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Stop the vehicle immediately.
The following warnings indicate the possibility of damage to the vehi-
cle that may lead to an accident. Immediately stop the vehicle in a
sa
fe place and contact your Toyota dealer.
*: The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It is not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the engine
oil level dipstick.
Have the vehicle inspected immediately.
Failing to investigate the cause of the following warnings may lead to
the system operating abnormally and possibly cause an accident.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
Warning lightWarning light/Details
Charging system warning light Indicates a malfunction in the vehicle’s charging sys-
tem.
Low engine oil pressure warning light Indicates that the engine oil pressure is too low*.
High engine coolant temperature warning light Indicate a engine is almost overheating.( →P. 337)
Warning lightWarning light/Details
(except Canada)
(Canada) Malfunction indicator lamp
Indicates a malfunction in:
• The electronic engine control system;
• The electronic throttle control system;
• The electronic automatic transmission control sys-tem; or
• Emission control system.

Lubrication system
*: 5W-30 is an oil that provides
optimal levels of fuel efficiency.
Oil viscosity
l The
5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
l 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 -
dition.
