Engine oil consumption
●
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
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 (1.0 L/1000 km, 0.9 lmp.qt./600
miles)
●
If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles
(1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
