■Oil capacity (Drain and refill ⎯ reference*)
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up the engine and turning off the hybrid system, wait more than
5 minutes, and check the oi l level on the dipstick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used
in your Toyota veh icle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching qual -
ity can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserv -
ing” or SN PLUS “Resource-Con -
serving” multigrade engine oil
0W-20 and 5W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”,
SM “Energy-Conserving”, SN
“Resource-Conserving” or SN
PLUS “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC multigrade engine oil
Recommended visc osity (SAE):
SAE 0W-16 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in cold
weather.
If SAE 0W-16 oil is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used. How -
ever, it should be replaced with
SAE 0W-16 at the next oil change.

6229-1. Specifications
before next oil change
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the
characteristic o f 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 16 in 0W-16 indicates the
viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high tempera -
ture. An oil with a higher viscos -
ity (one with a higher value) may
be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.
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 SN” means
the oil quality designation by American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Center porti on: “SAE 0W-16” 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.
*: The coolant capacity is t he quantity of reference.
