■Oil capacity (Drain and refill  reference*)
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used whe n changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 min-
utes, 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 equiva-
lent to satisfy the following
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine
oil Recommended viscosity:
SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.

Vehicle specifications
Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 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 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. 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:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.
*: The coolant capacity is the quantity of reference. If replacement is necessary, contact y our Toyota dealer.
