■Engine oil selection (Except for New Zealand)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, SAE 5W-30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the
next oil change.
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 0W-20 or 5W-
30 engine oil is recommended.
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 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.

■Engine oil selection (For New Zealand)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
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 0W-20, 5W-20
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.
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 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.

■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Toyota recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil 5W-30 Premium Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines”.
Alternative oils:
Information on alternative approved oils can be obtained from any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Using engine oil other than “Toyota Genuine
Motor Oil 5W-30 Premium Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines”
or any of the approved engine oils may damage the engine.
If the approved oil is not available, top up up to 1 L (1.1 qt., 0.9
Imp.qt.) is allowed with ACEA C3 oils. Only viscosity grades 0W-30,
5W-30, 0W-40, 5W-40 are permitted.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine
●Use of engine oils other than “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 5W-30 Premium
Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines” or any other approved engine oil,
may cause damage to the engine.
● If the approved oils are not available, up to 1 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) of the
following oils may be used: ACEA C3 oils.
Confirm that the viscosity grade is SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 5W-30.
Viscosities other than these, may damage the engine.
