2021 Toyota C-HR oil capacity: petrol and hybrid take different amounts.

The short answer

How much engine oil does a 2021 Toyota C-HR take with the filter?

Toyota Japan's June 2021 manuals list 3.7 L oil-only and 4.0 L with filter for the 1.2L 8NR-FTS petrol C-HR, but 3.9 L and 4.2 L for the 1.8L 2ZR-FXE hybrid. These are Japanese-market service quantities—not universal 2021 C-HR figures for the US or Europe.

Applicable to: 2021 Japanese-market Toyota C-HR: NGX10/NGX50 8NR-FTS 1.2L turbo petrol and ZYX11 2ZR-FXE 1.8L hybrid; Toyota Japan June 2021 manual editions.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Confirm NGX10/NGX50 (8NR-FTS) or ZYX11 (2ZR-FXE hybrid) and verify Japanese-market applicability. Do not mix petrol and hybrid refill amounts.

Check 2

Select the oil-only quantity if the filter is not replaced, or the with-filter quantity when it is; always verify the dipstick level following the relevant Toyota manual's procedure.

Check 3

These June 2021 Japanese editions do not establish C-HR service values for European, North American or later-generation models. Recommended oil viscosity differs by powertrain.
