oil temperature TOYOTA GT86 2018 Owners Manual (in English)

182 2-1. Driving procedures
●When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises clos e
to the red zone.
■ When moving the shift lever out of P
If the shift lever is pushed sideways before the brake pedal is depressed,
shift lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before
shifting the shift lever out of P.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
If downshifting operations are performed at a vehicle speed by which down-
shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engi ne speed to
enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting
cannot be performed.
■ When driving with cruise control activated
Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. A fter down-
shifting, the set speed continues. ( P. 181, 183)
■ Sport mode
●In sport mode, lower gears are used and gears change at a highe r
engine speed.
● If sport mode is changed to while the shift lever is in the M p osition, the
“SPORT” indicator will come on but sport mode controls will not be car-
ried out. Shift the shift lever to the D position.
● Sport mode cannot be changed to when driving with cruise contro l acti-
vated.
■ Snow mode
To prevent slipping, 1
st gear cannot be selected when in snow mode.
■ Sport mode and snow mode automatic deactivation
In the following situations, the driving mode is automatically deactivated:
●When the engine is turned off after driving in sport mode or sn ow mode.
● When cruise control is activated while driving in sport mode.
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 438

Displays the engine coolant tem-
perature.
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle/indicator enters the
red zone, a buzzer will sound and
a warning message will be dis-
played.
Engine oil temperature gauge
Displays the engine oil tempera-
ture.
Vol tm et er
Displays the charging voltage.
As voltage displayed may
be different from the actual
battery voltage, use the volt-
meter as a guideline.

326 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
WARNING
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■ When working on the engine compartment
●Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and en gine
drive belt.
● Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or ra gs, in the
engine compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or t he bat-
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Vehicles without a smart key system: Be sure the engine switch is off. With
the engine switch in the “ON” position, the electric cooling fa ns may auto-
matically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant tempera-
ture is high. ( P. 337)
Vehicles with a smart key system: Be sure the “ENGINE START STO P”
switch is off. With the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in IGNITION ON
mode, the electric cooling fans may automatically start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P. 337)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in the eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.

332 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Engine oilWith the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.
■ Checking the engine oil
Park the vehicle on level groun d. After warming up the engine
and turning it off, wait more than five minutes for the oil to
drain back into the b ottom of the engine.
Hold a rag under the end and
pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check
the oil level.
When checking the oil, look at both sides of the dipstick and u se the
lower measurement to determine the level of oil.
Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it fully.

Stop the vehicle immediately.The following warning indicates the possibility of damage to th e vehi-
cle that may lead to an acciden t. Immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place and contact your Toyota dealer.
Warning lightWarning light/Details
Charging system warning light Indicates a malfunction in the vehicle’s charging system.
Low engine oil pressure warning light Indicates that the engine oil pressure is too low.
(Flashes or illu- minates in red) High engine coolant temper
ature warning light (if
equipped) Indicates that the engine is almost overheating. ( P. 449)
As the engine coolant temperature increases, this warning
light will change from flashing to constantly illuminated.

462 6-1. Specifications
Lubrication system
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changingthe 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” 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: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.

Vehicle specifications
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 a t high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to h elp
you select the oil you should use.

480 6-1. Specifications
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either s epa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible t ire fail-
ure.
