■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
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter “A” when the engine is running.
( P. 122)
Turn the engine switch off.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the “TRIP” switch ( P. 122), turn the engine switch to the
“ON” position (do not start the engine because the reset mode will be can-
celed). Continue to press and hold the switch until the trip meter displays
“00000”.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
While pressing the “TRIP” switch ( P. 122), turn the engine switch to the
IGNITION ON mode (do not start the engine because the reset mode will
be canceled). Continue to press and hold the switch until the trip meter dis-
plays “00000”.

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dipstick.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE 0W-20 for Downsized Turbo Gaso-
line Engines” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use Toyota approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE 0W-20 for Downsized Turbo Gaso-
line Engines” or equivalent to satisfy the following grade and vis-
cosity.
Oil grade:
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE 0W-20 for Downsized Turbo Gaso-
line Engines” or API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-
Conserving” or SN “Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade
engine oil
Viscosity grade:
SAE 0W-20 and 5W-30

Recommended viscosity (SAE):
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE
0W-20 for Downsized Turbo
Gasoline Engines” is filled into
your Toyota vehicle at manufac-
turing, and SAE 0W-20 is the
best choice for good fuel econ-
omy and good starting in cold
weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not available, SAE 5W-30 oil may be used.
However, it should be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.
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.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC)
Certification Mark is displayed on the front of the container.
