■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 turn off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick.
■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-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserv-
ing”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserv-
ing” or SP “Resource-Conserving”;
or ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine
oil
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):
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.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
Preferred
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 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 SP” means
the oil quality designation by American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Center portion: “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 the quantity of reference.
If replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-
borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic
acid technology
Do not use plain water alone.
