Maintenance and care
M15A-FKS engine
1 Remove the oil filler cap by turn-
ing it counterclockwise.
2 Add engine oil slowly, checking
the dipstick.
3 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 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
The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir when the

■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.

*: 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.

“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.

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-

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.
