and turning off the hybrid system, wait more than 5 minutes
for the oil to drain back in to the bottom of the engine.
Holding a rag under the end, pull
the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.

*: 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 satisfy
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.
TypeNickel-metal hydride battery
Voltage7.2 V/module
Capacity6.5 Ah (3HR)
Quantity 20 modules
Overall voltage 144 V

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allowscold 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 label:
The International Lubricant Spec ification Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.
Cooling system
Capacity Gasoline engine
Power control unit 5.6 qt. (5.3 L, 4.7 Imp. qt.)
1.7 qt. (1.6 L, 1.4 Imp. qt.)
Coolant type Use either of the following:
• “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
• A similar high-quality ethylene glycol-based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite,
and non-borate coolant with long-life
hybrid organic acid technology
Do not use plain water alone.
