2015 TOYOTA AURIS oil viscosity

4166-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G98E)
When adding engine oil (1ND-TV engine only)
Do not overfill the engine. Use the dipstick to ensure that the oil level does not
exceed the full mark. If exceeded, the oil level will have to be adjusted to
below the full mark.
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following
situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used
When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing, or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic
After changing the engine oil (diesel engine only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter “A” when the engine is running.
(P. 90, 95)
Turn the engine switch off.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change button (P. 90, 95), turn the engine
switch to the “ON” position (do not start the engine because reset mode will
be canceled). Continue to press and hold the button until the trip meter dis-
plays “000000”.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change button (P. 90, 95), turn the engine
switch to the IGNITION ON mode (do not start the engine because other-
wise the reset mode will be canceled). Continue to press and hold the but-
ton until the trip meter displays “000000”.

Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, 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 0W-20, 5W-20
or 5W-30 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.

How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil contain-
ers to help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designa-
tion by American Petroleum
Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-
Conserving” means that the oil
has fuel-saving and environ-
mental protection capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark is
displayed on the front of the
container.

Diesel engine
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
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.
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.
