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

the engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn off the hybrid system, wait
more than 5 minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick.

■

Engine oil selection
“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.

■

Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso-
line you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concen-
tration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For
more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..

■

Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically
acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced
vehicle emissions.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel
containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely
affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this
happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol.
DO  NOT  use  any  flex-fuel  or  gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol,  including  from  any  pump  labeled
E30,  E50,  E85  (which  are  only  some
examples  of  fuel  containing  more  than
15% ethanol).

DO NOT use gasoline contain-
ing more than 15% ethanol.

(30% ethanol)

(50% ethanol)

(85% ethanol)

8-1. Specifications

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is
encountered after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

A tube type tire has a tube inside the tire and the tube maintains the air

pressure.

Radial tires or bias-ply tires

A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “RADIAL”

is a bias-ply tire.

Tire ply composition and materials

Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands

which form the plies in a tire.

“TEMPORARY USE ONLY”

A compact spare tire is identified by the phrase “TEMPORARY USE

ONLY” molded on its sidewall. This tire is designed for temporary

emergency use only.
