2024 Toyota Corolla — Oil Capacity & Filter Specs

The 2024 Toyota Corolla takes 4.8 quarts (4.5 liters) of engine oil with the 2.0L M20A-FKS, and 4.4 quarts (4.2 liters) with the 1.8L Hybrid (2ZR-FXE)—both capacities are with a new filter installed.

Quick answer

• Oil capacity (with filter):
  • 2.0L M20A-FKS: 4.8 qt (4.5 L)
  • 1.8L Hybrid 2ZR-FXE: 4.4 qt (4.2 L)
• Recommended viscosity: 0W-16 (Toyota allows 0W-20 only if 0W-16 isn’t available; return to 0W-16 at the next change)
• Oil type/spec: Full-synthetic meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6B (GF-6A acceptable only when using 0W-20 for temporary top-off)
• Oil filter part numbers:
  • OEM Toyota: 90915‑YZZN1 (verify by VIN for best accuracy)
  • Fram: PH10358 or XG10358 (Ultra Synthetic)
  • Wix: 51358 (or XP 57558)
  • Mobil 1: M1‑103A

Capacity by engine option

Oil change interval

• Normal service: Every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, using full‑synthetic oil (follow Toyota’s maintenance reminder and inspect at 5,000 miles for tire rotation and fluids).
• Severe service (frequent short trips, extreme temps, dusty roads, lots of idling, trailer/taxi/rideshare): Every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

Note: If you temporarily use 0W‑20 due to availability, switch back to 0W‑16 at the next change. Always confirm intervals in your owner’s manual or Toyota app for your VIN.

Drain plug torque

• Drain plug torque: 27 ft‑lb (37 N·m)
• Crush washer: Replace the aluminum drain plug gasket at every service (consult your Toyota dealer for the correct washer P/N for your VIN).

How to change the oil

1. Warm the engine, then shut off and allow a brief cool‑down.
2. Raise and support the vehicle safely. Remove the small service panel in the under‑cover (do not pry the entire splash shield off).
3. Place a drain pan, remove the drain plug, and replace the crush washer. Reinstall the plug and torque to 27 ft‑lb.
4. Spin off the oil filter. Lightly oil the new filter’s gasket, fill it about halfway (if space allows), and install hand‑tight plus 3/4 turn. Check the old filter gasket isn’t stuck to the housing.
5. Add the correct amount of oil: 4.8 qt (2.0L) or 4.4 qt (Hybrid).
6. Start the engine, check for leaks, then shut off and recheck the level. Top off to the dipstick full mark as needed.
7. Reset the maintenance reminder via the instrument cluster menus.

Common issues / tips for this generation

• Under‑cover fasteners: The Corolla’s lower engine cover uses plastic push‑pins and a small access door for the drain plug and filter. Reinstall all clips carefully; replace broken clips to prevent the panel from dragging.
• 0W‑16 availability: Toyota specifies 0W‑16 for efficiency and cold‑start performance. If you must use 0W‑20 once, it’s acceptable—but revert to 0W‑16 at the next change.
• Hybrid warm‑up behavior: On Hybrid models, the engine may start/stop during warm‑up. Ensure the car is in Park and READY is off while checking the level after a brief sit time so oil can drain back to the pan.
• Filter gasket care: Double‑gasketed filters cause sudden leaks. Always confirm the old gasket came off with the old filter and lightly oil the new gasket before installation.
• Top‑off amounts: After an oil and filter change, the dipstick may read just below full. Add oil in small increments (2–4 oz/50–100 ml) to avoid overfilling.
• Warranty/records: Keep receipts and note the mileage/date. Using API SP/GF‑6B oil and a quality filter helps maintain warranty compliance.
