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 ofl 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 intervais 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.

¢« Vehicles in which Qw-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 oil 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 If the 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 2010-2013 Model Year Toyota vehicles under non-severe usage.
