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: G-DLD-1, API CF-4, CF or ACEA B1
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change.
The 5W portion of the oil viscosity rating 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 5W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehi-
cle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

6.6 L (7.0 qt., 5.8 Imp.qt.)
(You may also use API CE or CD.)
Preferred
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
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 5W-30 engine oil is
recommended.
