How many quarts of oil does a Toyota Yaris take?
Most Toyota Yaris models take roughly 4.2 to 4.4 quarts of engine oil when performing a full change with a new filter. The exact amount depends on the engine type and model year, so consult your owner's manual for the precise figure.
Understanding the variety across generations
The Yaris has been offered with different engines in different markets. The capacity is printed in the maintenance section of the manual and in service data, and it can vary slightly between gasoline engines of similar displacement. Below are typical ranges by common configurations.
Before you refer to any numbers, note that these are general guidelines and your vehicle’s exact capacity may differ. Always use the capacity specified for your engine code.
- 1.5-liter inline-four gasoline engines (the most common Yaris configuration in recent years): approximately 4.2 to 4.4 quarts with the oil filter installed.
- Smaller displacement variants used in some markets (around 1.0 to 1.3 liters): roughly 3.7 to 4.0 quarts with a filter.
These ranges cover most mainstream Yaris models. If you own a model outside these configurations, such as a regional variant with a different engine, verify with your manual or a Toyota dealer.
How to confirm the exact capacity for your car
To ensure accuracy for your vehicle, use the following steps to confirm the exact oil capacity for your engine code and year:
- Check the owner’s manual maintenance section for the official oil capacity with filter.
- Look up the service data or a factory bulletin for your specific engine code (the code is often on the engine or inside the engine bay label).
- Consult a Toyota dealer or trusted service professional if you are unsure.
By using the official specification, you ensure you add the correct amount to maintain proper oil pressure and engine protection.
Summary
In practice, plan on about 4.2–4.4 quarts of engine oil for most Yaris models when performing a full change with a new filter, while smaller engine variants sit closer to 3.7–4.0 quarts. Always verify with your specific engine code in the owner’s manual or via Toyota’s service data to avoid under- or overfilling.
