Maintenance and care
■Adding engine oil
Make  sure  to  check  the  oil  type  and  prepare  the  items  needed
before adding oil.Remove the oil fille r 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  ne ed  to  be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
● When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing t he 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  t owing,  or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
● When  leaving  the  engine  idling  for  a  long  time,  or  when  driving   frequently
through heavy traffic
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.

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  us ed  in  your  Toyota  vehicle.  Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to sat -
isfy 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.

Vehicle specifications
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 ea sier 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  a t  high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
