*1: EURO V and VI are emission standards. If it is not clear that your vehicle
meets relevant standards, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
*2: 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,

■Engine oil selection
“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: API CF-4, CF or ACEA B3, B4, B5 or JASO DL-0
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
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 5W-30 engine
oil is recommended.
