Vehicle identification
Vehicle identification number
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the legal identifier for your vehicle. This is the primary identification number for your Toyota. It is used in registering the ownership of your vehicle. On some models: This number is stamped under the right-hand front seat.
This number is also stamped on the top left of the instrument panel.
This number is also on the Certification Label.
Engine number
The engine number is stamped on the engine block as shown.

| – |
|
| Fuel tank capacity | 12.4 gal. (47.0 L, 10.3 Imp. gal.) |
| (Reference) |
|
| – | 13.2 gal. (50.0 L, 11.0 Imp. gal.) |
Lubrication system
Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Reference*])
| With filter | 4.9 qt. (4.6 L, 4.0 Imp. qt.) |
| Without filter | 4.5 qt. (4.3 L, 3.8 Imp. qt.) |
The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, 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 satisfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multi-grade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16
87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher
- Vehicles without 18-inch tires 12.4 gal. (47.0 L, 10.3 Imp. gal.)
- Vehicles with 18-inch tires 13.2 gal. (50.0 L, 11.0 Imp. gal.)
- Outside temperature
SAE 0W-8 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-8 is not available, SAE 0W-16 oil may be used However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-8 at the next oil change. Oil viscosity (0W-8 is explained here as an example):
- The 0W in 0W-8 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 8 in 0W-8 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is at high tem-perature. 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.
How to read oil container label: The Japanese Automotive Stan-dards Organization (JASO) GLV-1 mark is added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.
