WARNING
●Vehicles with DPF system switch: Do not carry out regeneration when the 
vehicle is in an enclosed area, such as a garage. 
● Do not touch the exhaust pipe and exhaust gases during regeneration. 
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on 
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on if you continue driving while the 
DPF system warning message appears on the display. In this event, dam- 
age may be caused to the vehicle or an accident may occur. Have the vehi- 
cle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
NOTICE
■ To prevent the DPF system from failing 
● Do not drive for long periods of time while the DPF system warning mes- 
sage “DPF FULL VISIT YOUR DEALER”/“DPF full Visit your dealer” 
appears on the display 
● Do not use fuel other than the specified type 
● Do not use engine oil other than the recommended type 
● Do not modify the exhaust pipe

5727-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
WARNING
■When replacing wheels 
● Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the 
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control. 
● Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tube- 
less tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious
injury. 
■ When installing the wheel nuts 
● Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.  
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, 
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage.  In addition, the oil or grease can 
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an acci-
dent and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease 
from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. 
■ Use of defective wheels prohibited 
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.  
Doing so could cause the tire to leak  air during driving, possibly causing an 
accident.
● Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the 
tapered ends facing inward. Installing
the nuts with the tapered ends facing 
outward can cause the wheel to break 
and eventually cause the wheel to come
off while driving, which could lead to an 
accident resulting in death or serious 
injury.

2TR-FE engine (except for EURO V models*1)
*1: EURO V is an emission standard. If it is not clear that your vehicle meets 
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.

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.
