2011 TOYOTA URBAN CRUISER oil viscosity

362 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before
adding oil.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
Install the filler cap, turning it clockwise.
About 1.5 L (1.6 qt., 1.3 Imp.qt.) is required to raise the oil level from low to
full on the dipstick.

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. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./
600 miles)
If you consume more than 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 1000 km (600
miles), contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not available,
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used.
However, it should be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures, the
engine may become difficult to
start, so SAE 5W-30 or lower vis-
cosity engine oil is recom-
mended.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 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.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: The oil quality desig-
nation by API (American Petro-
leum Institute) (SM)
Center portion: The SAE viscosity
grade (SAE 0W-20)
Lower portion: “Energy-Conserv-
ing” means that the oil has fuel-
saving capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The ILSAC (International Lubri-
cant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certification
Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.
