relevant standards, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
*2: 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:  
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 and 20W-50:  
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.
