n Engine oil consumption
l The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
l More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
A new engine consumes more oil.
l
l 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.
l Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per
1000 km)
l If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles
(1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
n After changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)
The oil change system should be reset. Perform the following procedures:
Turn the engine switch to the ACC or LOCK position with the odom-
eter reading shown.(→P. 148)
Turn the engine switch to the ON position while holding down the
trip meter reset button.
Hold down the button until the light goes off. Before the light goes
off, it illuminates for 3 seconds, flashes for 2 seconds and illumi-
nates for 1 second.
If the system fails to reset, the light will remain flashing.
