■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, or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic
■After changing the engine oil
The engine oil maintenance data should
be reset. Perform the following proce- dures:
1 Press or of the meter con-
trol switch to select .
2 Press or to select “Vehicle
Settings” and then press and hold
.
3 Press or to select “Oil Main-

■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

■Oil capacity (Drain and refill
[Reference*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference
quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off
the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dip-
stick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used
in your Toyota vehicle. 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-20 and 5W-30
API grade SM “Energy-Conserv-
ing”, SN “Resource-Conserving”,
SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving”
or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
Preferred
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
SAE 0W-20 is filled in to your Toyota
vehicle at manufacturing, and the
best choice for good fuel economy
and good starting in cold weather. If
SAE 0W-20 oil is not available,
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used. How-
ever, it should be replaced with
SAE 0W-20 at the ne xt 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. 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.
