Engine Oil and Filter
Maintenance
Your vehicle is equipped with 0W-20
synthetic oil, which allows for extended oil
change intervals and optimum fuel economy.
It is recommended that Toyota Genuine
0W-20 Motor Oil be used during scheduled
oil changes. For normal operating conditions,
Toyota recommends changing your oil
and filter every 7,500 miles or six months,
whichever occurs first. However, if your
vehicle is primarily driven under any of the
following Special Operating Conditions, it
is recommended that you change your oil
and filter every 5,000 miles or four months,
whichever occurs first:
• Driving on dirt roads or dusty roads
• Driving while towing, using a car-top carrier,
or heavy vehicle loading
• Repeated trips of less than five miles in
temperatures below 32°F /0°C
• Extensive idling and/or low speed driving
for a long distance, such as police, taxi or
door-to-door delivery use
Additional Maintenance
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Toyota requires ongoing general
maintenance, such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures are
explained in the “Maintenance and Care”
section of the Owner’s Manual. Be sure
to perform these procedures regularly to
ensure the most trouble-free operation
of your vehicle.
