NOTICE
When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
Engine stalling
Short in electrical components
Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional check the following:
Brake function
Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, trans-
mission, transfer (4WD models), differential, etc.
Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, bearings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K189E_(EE)
Engine oil consumption
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
A new engine consumes more oil.
When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu-
rately.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L/1000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp.qt./
600 miles)
If your vehicle consumes more than 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) every
1000 km (600 miles), contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
After changing the engine oil
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter A (P. 178) when the engine is
in the “ON” position.
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.
While pressing the odometer/trip meter display change button
(P.178), turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (do not start
the engine because reset mode will be canceled). Continue to
press and hold the button for more than one second after the trip
meter displays “000000”.

HILUX_OM_OM0K189E_(EE)
*: Driver’s seat belt buzzer:
The driver’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or her seat
belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds intermittently for 30 seconds after
the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 km/h (9 mph). Then, if the seat belt is still
unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds.
Warning lightWarning light/DetailsCorrection procedure
Low engine oil level warn-
ing light
Indicates that engine oil
level is lowCheck the level of engine oil
and add more oil if neces-
sary.
(remains on)Engine oil change
reminder light
Except for Russia and
Ukraine
Indicates that the engine
oil should be changed
Comes on approximately
30000 km (18000 miles)
after the engine oil has
been changed (and the
oil maintenance date has
been reset)
For Russia and Ukraine
You have forgotten to
reset the oil change sys-
tem
Change the engine oil in
accordance with the
maintenance schedule.Have the engine oil and oil
filter checked and/or
changed by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional. After
changing the engine oil, the
oil change system should
be reset. (P. 491)

Vehicle specifications
HILUX_OM_OM0K189E_(EE)Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.
Oil viscosity (0W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-30 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 30 in 0W-30 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.
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.

Vehicle specifications
HILUX_OM_OM0K189E_(EE)Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and 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.
Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 5W in 5W-30 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 30 in 5W-30 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.
