Lubrication system
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing theengine 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 Toy-
ota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the
following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the 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.

Fuel information
Gasoline engine (→P. 515)
You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use
of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result
in engine knocking. Persistent kno cking can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A.
Flex-fuel engine ( →P. 515)
You must only use unlead ed gasoline, E85, or a blend of the two
fuels.
Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91]
or higher), E85, or a blend of two fuels is required for optimum
engine performance.
The use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.
The use of fuel with an ethanol concentration in excess of 85% will
have a negative impact on drivin g performance and can cause dam-
age to the fuel system components.
At minimum, the gasoline you us e should meet the specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A.
At minimum, the E85 you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D5798 in the U.S.A.

■Identifying flex-fuel vehicles
■ Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas-
oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
■ Gasoline quality standards
●Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.A., Europe and Japan have devel-
oped a specification for fuel quality called the World-Wide Fuel Charter
(WWFC), which is expected to be applied worldwide.
● The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis-
sion levels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.
● The WWFC improves air quality by lo wering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and improves customer satisfaction through better performance.
■ E85 fuel (Flex-fuel engine)
●E85 fuel is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. However, E85
does not necessarily contain 85% ethanol. For example, in cold climates
the ethanol content of E85 may be reduced during the winter months to
maintain cold weather starting performance.
● E85 has less energy per gallon than gasoline, so you will need to fill your
fuel tank more frequently when using E85.
● The number of fuel stations that sell E85 fuel is limited. For more infor-
mation about fueling stations, please refer to the U.S. Department of
Energy Web site.
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/
Flex-fuel vehicles can be identified by the
fuel tank cap, which is marked “FLEX-
FUEL E85/GASOLINE”.

Recommendation of the use of gaso line containing detergent additives
● Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives
to avoid the build-up of engine deposits.
● All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives con-
centration program.
● Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For
more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.
■ Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typi-
cally acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced
vehicle emissions.
■ Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline (Gasoline engine)
● If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.
● Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
●Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E30, E50, E85 (which are only some
examples of fuel containing more than
15% ethanol).DO NOT use gasoline
containing more than
15% ethanol.
