CAMRY_U■
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 fille r 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  ne ed  to  be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
● When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing t he 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,  or  when  driving
while accelerating or decelerating frequently
● When  leaving  the  engine  idling  for  a  long  time,  or  when  driving   frequently
through heavy traffic

2.5 L 4-cylinder (A25A-FKS) engine
“Toyota  Genuine  Motor  Oil”  is  used  in  your  Toyota  vehicle.  Use
Toyota  approved  “Toyota  Genuine  Motor  Oil”  or  equivalent  to  sat -
isfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16
SAE  0W-16  is  the  best  choice  for
good fuel economy and good start-
ing in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE
0W-20  oil  may  be  used.  However,
it  must  be  replaced  with  SAE  0W-
16 at the next oil change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil which  allows cold
startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for ea sier 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 temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one  with a higher
value)  may  be  better  suited  if  the  vehicle  is  operated  at  high  speeds,  or
under extreme load conditions.
