■Regeneration with the DPF system switch (if equipped)
●After pressing the DPF system switch, do not depress the accelerator pedal
or the clutch pedal (manual transmissi on). Depressing the pedal(s) will stop
regeneration. If regeneration has been stopped, restart regeneration as
soon as possible.
● If regeneration is carried out while the exhaust pipe is hot (for example
directly after driving), it will take less time than when the engine is cold.
■ Replacing the engine oil
Make sure to use an oil of the recommended grade or of matching quality.
(→ P. 500)
■ DPF system warning
Under the following driving conditions , the DPF system warning light may
come on earlier than normal.
*
● When only driving at low speeds (for example 20 km/h [12 mph] or below).
● If the engine is turned on and off frequently (if the engine is not left running
for more than 10 minutes at a time).
*: Differs in accordance with weather, driving conditions, etc.

CAUTION
■If the malfunction indicator light comes on
The malfunction indicator light comes on if you continue driving while the
DPF system warning light is flashing. In this event, damage may be caused
to the vehicle or an accident may occur. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional immediately.
NOTICE
■To prevent the DPF system from failing
● Do not drive for long periods of time while the DPF system warning light is
flashing
● Do not use fuel other than the specified type
● Do not use engine oil other than the recommended type
● Do not modify the exhaust pipe

Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K219E_(EE)
CAUTION
■When replacing wheels
● Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
● Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tube-
less tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious
injury.
■ When installing the wheel nuts
● Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an acci-
dent and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease
from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
■ Use of defective wheels prohibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an
accident.
● Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the
tapered ends facing inward. Installing
the nuts with the tapered ends facing
outward can cause the wheel to break
and eventually cause the wheel to come
off while driving, which could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.

Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40 and 20W-50:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
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, 5W-20
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.

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.
