■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 (8NR-FTS, 1ND-TV and 1WW engines only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
