Engine oil consumption
l
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
l
More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds, fre-
quent acceleration and deceleration.
l
A new engine consumes more oil.
l
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 accu-
rately.
l
Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000 km, 0.9 Imp. qt./
600 miles).
l
If the vehicle consumes more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp.qt.) every
600 miles (1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
