7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
WARNING
The  engine  compartment  contains  many  mechanisms  and  fluids  that  may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions:
■When working on the engine compartment:
●Keep  hands,  clothing  and  tools  away  from  the  moving  fan  and  engine
drive belt.
● Be  careful  not  to  touch  the  engine,  radiator,  exhaust  manifold,  etc.  right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
● Do  not  smoke,  cause  sparks  or  expose  an  open  flame  to  fuel  or  the  bat-
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
■ When working near the electric  cooling fans or radiator grille
Be  sure  the  engine  switch  is  in  the  “LOCK”  position  (vehicles  without  a
smart key system) or off (vehicles with a smart key system). With the engine
switch  in  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  or  IGNI-
TION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the electric cooling fans
may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant
temperature is high. ( P. 491)
■ Safety glasses
Wear  safety  glasses  to  prevent  flying  or  falling  material,  fluid  spray,  etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.

Maintenance and care
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
■Checking the engine oilPark  the  vehicle  on  level  ground.  After  warming  up  the  engine
and  turning  it  off,  wait  more  than  5  minutes  for  the  oil  to  drain
back into the bottom of the engine.
Holding  a  rag  under  the  end,
pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Holding  a  rag  under  the  end,  pull  the  dipstick  out  and  check  the

■Adding engine oil
If  the  oil  level  is  below  or  near
the  low  level  mark,  add  engine
oil  of  the  same  type  as  that
already in the engine.
Make  sure  to  check  the  oil  type  and  prepare  the  items  needed
before adding oil.Remove the oil filler cap by  turning it counterclockwise.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
Install the oil filler cap  by turning it clockwise.
■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

Maintenance and care
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.Reservoir cap

“LOW” line
If  the  level  is  on  or  below  the
“LOW”  line,  add  coolant  up  to  the
“FULL” line.
WARNING
■Used engine oil
●Used  engine  oil  contains  potentially  harmful  contaminants  which  may
cause  skin  disorders  such  as  inflammation  and  skin  cancer,  so  care
should be taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact. To remove used
engine oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
● Dispose  of  used  oil  and  filters  only  in  a  safe  and  acceptable  manner.  Do
not dispose of used oil and filters in household trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.  Call  your  Toyota  dealer,  service  station  or  auto  parts  store  for
information concerning recycling or disposal.
● Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine damage
Check the oil level on a regular basis.
■ When replacing the engine oil
●Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.
● Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
● Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.
● Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.
