CAUTION
■Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly, it may open while the vehicle is in motion
and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.

Make sure the rod supports the hood securely from falling down on to your
head or body.

The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and
full on the dipstick is indicated as follows:
1.8 L 4-cylinder (2ZR-FE) engine
1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp. qt.)
2.4 L 4-cylinder (2AZ-FE) engine
1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp. qt.)
■ Recommended viscosity
SAE 5W-20 or 0W-20 engine oil
may be used. However, SAE
0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
■ How to read oil container labels
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to
