: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing

the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,

and check the oil level on the dipstick.

"Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use

Toyota approved "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" or equivalent to sat-

isfy the following grade and viscosity.

Oil grade: API SN/RC multigrade engine oil

Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16

SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for

good fuel economy and good start-

ing in cold weather.

If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE

0W-20 oil may be used. However,

it must be replaced with SAE 0W-

16 at the next oil change.

Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-16 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 16 in 0W-16 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.
