K3-VE uses a timing chain (low maintenance, typically lasts engine life). 3SZ-VE uses a timing chain (low maintenance). Check manual for specific inspection intervals.
Fluid Specifications
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approx. 3.7 Liters (with filter) for 1.5L engines (check manual for exact capacity).
Engine Oil Type:
API SN/SP, ILSAC GF-5/GF-6, SAE 0W-20 or 5W-30 (refer to manual for exact specification and viscosity based on climate).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based, Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or equivalent (pink coolant recommended).
Brake Fluid Type:

Carbon build-up in intake ports (especially on engines with early direct injection, though this model is mostly port injected), potential for oil consumption at very high mileage. Ensure proper cooling system maintenance to prevent overheating.
Transmission Potential Issues:
Automatic transmission may benefit from regular fluid changes to maintain longevity. Manual transmission clutches are generally robust.
