Vehicle specifications
*: 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.  Use
Toyota  approved  “Toyota  Genuine  Motor  Oil”  or  equivalent  to  sat-
isfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: API SN/RC multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16
SAE  0W-16  is  the  best  choice  for
good fuel economy and good start-
ing in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE
0W-20  oil  may  be  used.  However,
it  must  be  replaced  with  SAE  0W-
16 at the next oil change.
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 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.

■Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso-
line  you  are  using.  If  driveability  problems  persist,  try  changing  the  brand  of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
■Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives
●Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.
●All  gasoline  sold  in  the  U.S.A.  contains  minimum  detergent  additives  to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concen-
tration program.
●Toyota  strongly  recommends  the  use  of  Top  Tier  Detergent  Gasoline.  For
more  information  on  Top  Tier  Detergent  Gasoline  and  a  list  of  marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.
Fuel information
You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use  of  unleaded  gasoline  with  an  octane  rating  lower  than  87
may  result  in  engine  knocking.  Persistent  knocking  can  lead  to
engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..
