How to read oil container labels

Some oil containers are labeled with ILSAC certification marks that
help you to select the proper oil.

Oil identification mark

The ILSAC (International Lubri-
cant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certifica-
tion Mark is added to some oil
containers to help you select the
oil you should use.

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, 0.9 Imp. qt./600 miles (1.0 L per
1000 km)

If your vehicle consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp. qt.) every 600
miles (1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
