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
(except for South Africa), or when driving while accelerating or decelerating
frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic

Engine oil selection
1KR-FE engine
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserving” or SN PLUS “Resource-Con-
serving” multigrade engine oil
0W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving”, SN
“Resource-Conserving” or SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM, SN or SN PLUS multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-16 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 oil is not avail-
able, SAE 0W-20 oil may be
used.
However, it should be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become difficult
to start, so SAE 0W-16, 0W-20
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.
