So got a hold of an English version of a full user+maintenance manual for a Japanese Toyota, engine 2ZR-FAE, smaller version of the 3ZR-FAE in the full spec Altis, not the outdated 2ZR-FE.

It states there, check engine oil regularly, oil loss of 1 litre per 1000km travelled is normal. Anything more, contact your dealer. AFAIK, I've never used an engine that makan oil on a NORMAL basis, but this one mmng stated plain jane. The NORM is kalau engine oil hilang 500ml after 5000km pun orang sudah busy do overhaul here and there.

What say you? Updated with screen.

Yeah, was looking for that response, but 1litre per 1000km. 10 days sudah 1000km. Need to check my engine oil xd ler...

Service interval is 10k.
4.2l per service if together with filter change. So eventually mau beli 2 bottle, one for extra+top up.

Balik mau check oil level. I understand in US they want to do a Class Action suit against Toyota sbb tidak mention this issue. Now its stated clearly in the manual.

Itu kira max, over that range baru need to service, less is considered normal. Hopefully my engine less than that, never encountered such a clarified reminder before. Sebelum ini, other car pun pakai saja with confidence, haha! Now, cautious cautious on certain car.

Itu is the manual for the ZGE20 Wish, 2Z-FAE engine.
