Vehicle specifications
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)Diesel fuel that contains 50 ppm or less of sulfur
Oil grade:
ACEA C2, B1, API CF-4 or CF
(You may also use API CE or CD.)
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.
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 0W-30
engine oil is recommended.
Oil viscosity (0W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-30 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 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.

Fuel infor mation
Gasoline engine
EU area:
Your vehicle must use only
unleaded gasoline conforming to
European standard EN228. For
optimum engine performance,
select unleaded gasoline with a
Research Octane Number of 95
or higher.
Except EU area:
Your vehicle must use only
unleaded gasoline. For optimum
engine performance, select
unleaded gasoline with a
Research Octane Number of 95
or higher.
1AD-FTV engine without DPF
catalytic converter
EU area:
Your vehicle must use only diesel
fuel conforming to European
standard EN590.
Except EU area:
Your vehicle must use only diesel
fuel that contains 500 ppm or
less of sulfur and has a cetane
number of 48 or higher.

746 6-1. Specifications
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline (gasoline engine)
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
If you plan to drive in foreign countries (diesel engine)
Low sulfur diesel fuel may not be available, so please confirm the availability
with your distributor.
If your engine knocks
Consult any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

alytic converter, 2AD-FTV and
2AD-FHV engines
EU area:

NOTICE
Notice on fuel quality
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be
damaged.
Gasoline engine: Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and emission control system to function improperly.
1AD-FTV engine without DPF catalytic converter:
Do not use a fuel that contains more than 500 ppm of sulfur.
Use of such a high sulfur fuel may damage the engine.
1AD-FTV engine with DPF catalytic converter, 2AD-FTV and 2AD-FHV
engines:
Do not use a fuel that contains more than 50 ppm of sulfur.
Use of such a high sulfur fuel may damage the engine.
Gasoline engine (EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as
“E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be
used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. In case
of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Gasoline engine (except EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such
as “E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not
be used. Your vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The
use of fuel with more than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the
vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only
from a source where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In
case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
