Maintenance and care
■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 inter- vals.
●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 inappropri-ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing
(vehicles with towing packages), or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy trafficThe coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoir when the
engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“MAX” line
“MIN” line
If the level is on or below the “MIN” line,
add coolant up to the “MAX” line.

■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool-
WARNING
■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains poten- tially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as
inflammation and skin cancer, so care should be taken to avoid pro-longed 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 fil- ters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground.
Call any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, 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 dam-age
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.

Temperature range anticipated
before 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 tempera-
ture.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should
use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SP” means
the oil quality designation by American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20” means
the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Conserving”
means that the oil has fuel-saving and
environmental protection capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certi-
fication Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.
Cooling system
Capacity (Reference)5.2 L (5.5 qt., 4.6 Imp. qt.)
Coolant type
Use either of the following:
•“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
•Similar high-quality ethylene glycol-based non-sili-
cate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant
with long-life hybrid organic acid technology
Do not use plain water alone.
