2018 Toyota Vitz/Yaris Engine Oil

Engine oil is absolutely relevant and used on the 2018 Toyota Vitz/Yaris. Toyota’s technical literature — including the Owner’s Manual, Repair Manual and New Car Features for the 1KR-FE, 1NR-/2NR-series and 1NZ-FXE hybrid engines — specifies engine oil and viscosity grades (typically 0W-20 meeting API/ILSAC standards) for these models. That applies to both petrol and hybrid variants, as the hybrid still has a petrol engine under the bonnet that needs lubrication.

For this model, engine oil does far more than just keep things slippery. It’s the lifeblood of the engine, doing a heap of jobs to keep the car running sweet and efficient.

• Lubricates metal surfaces to reduce wear and friction.
• Carries heat away to help cooling.
• Suspends contaminants so the oil filter can catch them.
• Prevents rust and corrosion during short trips and long sits.
• Seals tiny gaps between pistons and cylinder walls for better compression.
• Operates components like VVT-i with clean, pressurised oil.

For the 2018 Vitz/Yaris, Toyota specifies a high-quality full-synthetic 0W-20 that meets ILSAC GF-5/GF-6 and API SN/SN Plus or newer. In some markets and engines, 5W-30 is permissible
