Quick answer: the 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla 1.8L takes 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) of oil with a filter change. Toyota recommends SAE 0W-20.
| Engine | Oil capacity (with filter) | Without filter | Oil type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8L 4-cylinder (2ZR-FE / 2ZR-FAE) | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) | 0W-20 |
One 5-quart jug is enough. A Corolla oil change with a new filter takes 4.4 quarts, leaving a little for topping up.
Oil capacity by year
| Model year | Oil capacity (with filter) | Without filter |
|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) |
| 2015 | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) |
| 2016 | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) |
| 2017 | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) |
| 2018 | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) |
| 2019 | 4.4 US qt (4.2 L) | 4.1 US qt (3.9 L) |
We read the Specifications pages of all six owner’s manuals. Both versions of the 1.8L engine (2ZR-FE and the Valvematic 2ZR-FAE used in the LE Eco) share the same capacity.
Recommended oil type
Toyota Genuine Motor Oil or an equivalent ILSAC multigrade oil in SAE 0W-20. If 0W-20 is not available, 5W-20 may be used, but it must be replaced with 0W-20 at the next oil change.
How to reset the maintenance required light on the 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla
See also: Toyota maintenance required light reset for all models.
This is the procedure in the 2014 Corolla owner’s manual (U.S. models). Cars with a color multi-information display (2019) can also reset it from the settings menu; see your manual.
- Turn the engine switch off with trip meter A displayed.
- While pressing the DISP switch or the display change button, turn the engine switch to ON (IGNITION ON). Do not start the engine, or the reset mode is canceled.
- Keep holding the button until the trip meter shows 000000.
Oil change tips
- Add about 4 quarts, check the dipstick, then top up.
- Do not overfill. Toyota’s manuals tell you to warm up the engine, turn it off, wait about 5 minutes and then check the level on the dipstick.
