Engine oil consumption
n
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
l
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
l
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
l
A new engine consumes more oil.
When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
l
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu-
rately.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per
l
1000 km)
If your vehicle consumes more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600
l
miles (1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.

oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do
