Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Reference*])

With filter

2ZR-FXE engine

4.2 L (4.4 qt., 3.7 Imp. qt.)

M20A-FXS engine

4.6 L (4.9 qt., 4.0 Imp. qt.)

Without filter

2ZR-FXE engine

3.9 L (4.1 qt., 3.4 Imp. qt.)

M20A-FXS engine

4.3 L (4.5 qt., 3.8 Imp. qt.)

*The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the engine oil. When actually adding the engine oil, make sure that the oil level is between the low level mark and refill upper limit mark.

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

Engine oil selection

“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:

0W-16: API grade SN “Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving” or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil

0W-20 and 5W-30: API grade SM “Energy-Conserving”, SN “Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving” or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC GF-6A multigradeengine oil

Recommended viscosity (SAE):

  1. Preferred

  2. Temperature range anticipated before next oil change

SAE 0W-16 is filled into your Toyota vehicle at manufacturing, and the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-16 oil is not available, SAE 0W-20 oil may be used. However, it should 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.

How to read oil container labels:

Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.

  1. API Service Symbol

    Top portion: “API SERVICE SP” means the oil quality designation by American Petroleum Institute (API).

    Center portion: “SAE 0W-16” means the SAE viscosity grade.

    Lower portion: “Resource-Conserving” means that the oil has fuel-saving and environmental protection capabilities.

  2. ILSAC Certification Mark

    The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certification Mark is displayed on the front of the container.
