■ Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the follow-
ing 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
The oil maintenance interval is variable and depending on the vehicle usage
condition.
■ After changing the engine oil (diesel engine only)
The engine oil maintenance should be reset. Perform the following proce-
dures:
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart
entry & start system) or the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and
then switch the display to the trip meter A. ( P. 224)
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or “ENGINE START STOP” switch off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).
Continue to press and hold the button until the meter displays
“00000”, and then the system reset will be completed.
While pressing the display change button
( P. 224), turn the engine switch to the
“ON” position (vehicles without smart
entry & start system) or the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with smart entry & start
system) and the message shown in the
illustration will appear on the display.

■ Engine oil selection
EU area and Russia
“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.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN 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 0W-20 or 5W-30
engine oil is recommended.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

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 containers
to help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designation
by American Petroleum Institute
(API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has
fuel-saving and environmental
protection capabilities.

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
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.

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and
check the oil level on the dipstick.
Toyota recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil
5W-30 Premium Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines”. Contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, for usage of any other approved engine
oil of matching quality.

NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine
● Use of engine oils other than “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 5W-30 Premium
Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines” or any other approved engine oil,
may cause damage to the engine.
● If the approved oils are not available, up to 1 liter of the following oils may
be used: ACEA C3 oils.
Confirm that the viscosity grade is SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 5W-30.
Viscosities other than these, may damage the engine.
