156ENGINE OIL SELECTION
Use API SH, Energy-Conserving IIº mul-
tigrade engine oil or ILSAC multigrade en-
gine oil.
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for your
vehicle, for good fuel economy, and
good starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W-30 engine oil in
extremely low temperatures, the en-
gine may become difficult to start, so
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.
Oil identification marks
Either or both API registered marks are
added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.
The API Service Symbol is located any-
where on the outside of the container.
The top portion of the label shows the oil
quality by API (American Petroleum Insti-
tute) designations such as SH. The center
portion of the label shows the SAE viscos-
ity grade such as SAE 5W-30. Energy-
Conserving IIº shown in the lower portion,
indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capa-
bilities. Oils marked Energy-Conserving
IIº will have higher fuel-saving capabilities
than oil marked Energy-Conservingº.The ILSAC (International Lubricant Stan-
dardization and Approval Committee) Cer-
tification Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.

REPORTING SAFETY

OWNERS AND
UNIFORM TIRE
QUALITY GRADING

Reporting safety defects for
U.S. owners

Uniform tire quality gradingIf you believe that your vehicle has
a defect which could cause a crash
or could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the Na-
tional Highway Traffic Safety Admin-
istration (NHTSA) in addition to noti-
fying Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
(Toll-free: 1-800-331-4331).
If NHTSA receives similar com-
plaints, it may open an investigation,
and if it finds that a safety defect ex-
ists in a group of vehicles, it may or-
der a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become in-
volved in individual problems be-
tween you, your dealer, or Toyota
Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either
call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free
at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123
in Washington D.C. area) or write
to: NHTSA. U.S. Department of
Transportation. Washington D.C.
20590. You can also obtain other in-
formation about motor vehicle safe-
ty from the Hotline.
This consumer information has been pre-
pared in accordance with regulations is-
sued by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation. It provides the
purchasers and/or prospective purchas-
ers of Toyota vehicles with information on
uniform tire quality grading.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer any
questions you may have as you read this
information.
DOT quality gradesÐAll passenger
vehicle tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to
these grades. These quality grades are
molded on the sidewall.
TreadwearÐThe treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under con-
trolled conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1-1/2) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the
actual conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
