*: 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.
■Engine oil selection
“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: API CF-4, CF or ACEA B1, B3, B4, B5 or JASO DL-0
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 5W-30 engine
oil is recommended.

How to read oil container label:
The Japanese Automobile
Standard Organization (JASO)
DL-0 Mark is added to some oil
containers to help you select
the oil you should use.
Oil viscosity (10W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 10W in 10W-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 10W-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.

Fuel information
◆Gasoline engine
When you find these types of fuel label at the gas station, use only
the fuel with one of the following labels.
You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select unleaded gasoline with a Research Octane Number of 91 or
higher for optimum engine performance.
◆Diesel engine
When you find these types of fuel label at the gas station, use only
the fuel with one of the following labels.
EU area:
You must use diesel fuel conforming to European standard EN590
or EN16734.
Except EU area:
You must use only diesel fuel with a cetane number of 48 or higher.
Russia only:
You must use only diesel fuel with a cetane number of 48 or higher.
You must use only diesel fuel conforming to GOST R52368-2005
(sulfur max 10 ppm).
■ Use of ethanol blended gasoline in a gasoline engine
Toyota allows the use of ethanol blended gasoline where the ethanol content
is up to 10%. Make sure that the ethanol blended gasoline to be used has a
Research Octane Number that follows the above.
■ If you plan to drive in foreign countries (vehicles with DPF system)
Low sulfur diesel fuel may not be avai lable, so please check the availability
with your distributor.

■ If your engine knocks
● Consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
● You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
NOTICE
■ Notice on gasoline fuel quality
● Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
● Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
● Do not use the methanol blended gasoline such as M15, M85, M100. The
use of gasoline containing methanol may cause engine damage or failure.
● For Kazakhstan: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85”
and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be used. Your
vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The use of fuel
with more than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the vehicle’s fuel
system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only from a source
where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In case of any
doubt, ask any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
■ Notice on diesel fuel quality
● Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
● 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 vehicle’s fuel system. In case
of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
