CONDITION
Starting with the 2010 Model Year, Toyota
began a gradual transition to the use of synthetic Ow-20
viscosity engine oil. There are multiple benefits of this oil, including:
Reduced friction and wear on engine surfaces
Improved fuel economy
Reduction in waste oil stream (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals)
Reduced maintenance cost (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals)
Due to the improved performance and durability of Ow-20 synthetic oil, Toyota
has extended the oil
change intervals to 10,000 miles for most vehicles that require this oil. With this change, the following
should be noted:
e The 2TR-FE (4Runner / Tacoma) and the 3UR-FBE (Flex Fuel Tundra / Sequoia) are the
exceptions to this new change interval program; these engines have not been approved for the
10,000 mile interval at this time. A 5,000 mile oil change interval is still required for these
vehicles. Also, the Flex Fuel 3UR-FBE requires a 2,500 mile interval when operated on E85.
e Only Toyota
vehicles in which Ow-20 oil is mandatory (except for the 2TR-FE & 3UR-FBE
Engines) have been approved for extended oil change intervals.
e Vehicles in which Ow-20 is an option to 5w-20 (or 5w-30) will continue to require 5,000 mile
change intervals, even if Ow-20 oil is used.
e Inthe case of vehicles with 10,000 mile oi! change intervals, the 5,000 mile service interval has
not been eliminated. The traditional 5,000 mile maintenance procedures (such as tire rotation)
will continue to be required, and the fluid levels (including engine oil) will need to be checked
and adjusted at this time.
e Ifthe vehicle operation meets the standard criteria for “Special Operating Conditions” such as:
driving off-road, on dirt roads, towing a trailer, making repeated short trips under 32° F, or
extensive idling; the engine oil must be replaced at 5,000 mile intervals, regardless of oil used.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Please follow the charts on pages 2 & 3 to determine the proper oil viscosity, fill quantity, and proper
change interval for 2010-2014 Model Year Toyota
vehicles under non-severe usage.
