Engine oil
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
Checking the engine oil
Gasoline engine: Park the vehicle on level ground. After turn-
ing off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes for the oil to drain
back into the bottom of the engine.
Diesel engine: Park the vehicle on level ground. After warm-
ing up the engine and turning it off, wait more than 5 minutes
for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
Holding a rag under the end, pull
the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.

Low engine oil pressure warning light
Indicates that the engine oil pressure is too low.
(Flashes or
comes on)High engine coolant temperature warning light
Indicates that the engine is almost overheating. (P. 489)
Warning lightWarning light/DetailsCorrection procedure
(Comes on)
(if equipped)Multi-mode manual trans-
mission warning light
Indicates a malfunction in

VERSO-S_EEEngine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”. Another
motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
1NR-FE engine
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or
ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40 and 20W-50:
API grade SL or SM multigrade engine oil
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.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

Vehicle specifications
VERSO-S_EE
The 0W 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.
The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehi-
cle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
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
designation by API (American
Petroleum Institute) (SM)
Center portion: The SAE viscosity
grade (SAE 0W-20)
Lower portion: “Energy-
Conserving” means that the oil
has fuel-saving capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The ILSAC (International
Lubricant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certification
Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.

508 6-1. Specifications
VERSO-S_EE1ND-TV engine
Oil grade: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.
The 0W 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.
The 30 in 0W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehi-
cle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.
