quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.


●More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and


frequent acceleration and deceleration.


●A new engine consumes more oil. ●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.


●Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per


1000 km)


●If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles


(1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.

Engine coolant


The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.


Reservoir cap FULL LOW If the level is on or below the “L” line, add coolant up to the “F” line. (→P. 421)


■If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing


Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant filler cap, radiator cap, drain cock and water pump. If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.


■Coolant selection


Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology.


U.S.A.:


“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. (Enabled: -31°F [-35°C])


Canada: “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant


and 45% deionized water. (Enabled: -44°F [-42°C])


For more details about engine coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.


CAUTION


■When the engine is hot


Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap. The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing burns or other injuries.
