2009 TOYOTA YARIS HATCHBACK oil viscosity

248 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
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.

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)

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.
