AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)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) (SN)
Center portion: The SAE viscosity
grade (SAE 0W-20)
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has
fuel saving and environmental
protection.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The ILSAC (International Lubri-
cant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certification
Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.

730 6-1. Specifications
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)1AD-FTV engine without DPF catalytic converter
Diesel fuel that contains between 50 ppm and 500 ppm of sulfur
Oil grade:
ACEA B1, API CF-4 or CF
(You may also use API CE or CD.)
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-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 engine oil is
recommended.
Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 5W in 5W-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 5W-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 operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

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

AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)1AD-FTV engine with DPF catalytic converter, 2AD-FTV and 2AD-
FHV engines
Oil grade: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):

Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in

NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.
