
"Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" is used in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota
recommends the use of approved "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil".
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used
Oil grade: ACEA C2
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.
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.
