■When adding engine oil (1ND-TV engine only)
Do not overfill the engine. Use the dipstick to ensure that the oil level does not
exceed the full mark. If exceeded, the oil level will have to be adjusted to
below the full mark.
■ 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 need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
●When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the 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, when towing, or
when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
● When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic
■ After changing the engine oil (8NR-FTS, 1ND-TV and 1WW engines only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
X Vehicles with a 3-ring meter
Switch the display to the trip meter “A” when the engine is running. ( →P.
102)
Turn the engine switch off.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change switch or the “DISP” switch ( →P. 102),
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 switch until
the trip meter displays “000000”.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the display change switch or the “DISP” switch ( →P. 102),
turn the engine switch to the IGNITION ON mode (do not start the engine
because otherwise the reset mode will be canceled). Continue to press and
hold the switch until the trip meter displays “000000”.

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.

How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil contain-
ers to help you select the oil you should use.API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designa-
tion by American Petroleum
Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-
Conserving” means that the oil
has fuel-saving and environ-
mental protection capabilities.

X1ND-TV engine
“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: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufactur-
ing, 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.
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.

X1WW engine
Toyota recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil 5W-30 Premium Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines”. Con-
tact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional for usage of any other approved
engine oil of matching quality.
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.
