Maintenance and care
■
Engine oil consumption
●The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
● More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
● A new engine consumes more oil.
● When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu-
rately.
● Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles (1.0 L/1000 km, 0.9 lmp.qt./600
miles)
● If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles
(1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
■ After changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following pro-
cedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter A when the engine is running.
(P. 157)
Turn the engine switch to the LOCK position.
While pressing the ODO/TRIP button (P. 157), turn the engine
switch to the ON position. Continue to press and hold the button
until the odometer displays 000000.
If the system fails to reset, the light will continue flashing.
