HILUX_OM_OM0K134E_(EE)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 is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

Notice on fuel quality
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
Diesel engine (EU area): FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) fuel sold under
names such as “B30” or “B100” and fuel containing a large amount of
FAME should not be used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehi-

or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Diesel engine (except EU area [expect Russia]): FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester) fuel sold under names such as “B30” or “B100” and fuel containing
a large amount of FAME should not be used. Your vehicle can use diesel
mixed with 5% max biodiesel FAME (B5). The use of fuel with more than
5% FAME content (B5) will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You must
ensure that refueling is carried out only from a source where fuel specifica-
tion and quality can be guaranteed.
In case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
