verter) engines—
"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):
Preferred
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change
SAE 0W−30 is filled into your Toyota
vehicle at manufacturing, and the best
choice for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
The 0W 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 0W−30 indicates
viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.
