OIL AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

CAUTION:


  • Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.

  • Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Protective clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil should be worn. The skin should be washed with soap and water, or use waterless hand cleaner to remove any used engine oil thoroughly. Do not use gasoline, thinners or solvents.

  • In order to protect the environment, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.

  7. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add new engine oil.

      Standard engine oil
      Toyota recommends the use of approved "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 5W-30 Premium Fuel Economy for 1WW/2WW engines" or equivalent.
      Standard capacity (Drain and refill with oil filter change)
      5.2 liters (5.5 US qts, 4.6 Imp. qts)

  8. INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK


    1. Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the areas that were worked on.

  9. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The engine oil level should be between the engine oil level dipstick low level mark and full level mark.

      If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.

      Note

      Do not fill engine oil above the full level mark.

      Tech Tips

      A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.


      • When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine.

      • If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used.

      • When driving at high engine speed or with a heavy load (when towing), or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently.

      • When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently through heavy traffic.

      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 accurately.
