Outside Puerto Rico, use SAE 0W-20 ILSAC GF-5. The with-filter reference is 6.6 qt. Puerto Rico has a different grade list.
Level ground, operating temperature, engine off more than 5 minutes. Wipe the dipstick, seat it, and read low, normal, or excessive. Add with a clean funnel if it is near low, and recheck. Do not overfill.
This book does not print the mile chart. The U.S. message comes on about 5,000 miles after a reset. Reset it with the trip-meter A procedure after the service.
Coolant is a different fill, on the coolant guide. Transmission fluid is Toyota Genuine ATF WS, on the transmission guide. Power steering fluid is DEXRON II or III, not ATF WS.
The dipstick figure is not redrawn. The text names low, normal, and excessive.
No oil-filter part number is in this book. The Scheduled Maintenance Guide was not the document read for the mile chart.
