Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2022-2025 (XG10; hybrid from 2023) Toyota Corolla Cross, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 10,000 mi / 12 mo; severe 5,000 mi / 6 mo |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.0L gas (M20A-FKS, 0W-16, CVT) or 2.0L hybrid (M20A-FXS, 0W-16, eCVT, AWD via rear e-motor) |

Toyota Corolla Cross note: Hybrid AWD is electric — a dedicated rear e-motor drives the rear axle (no driveshaft), and the inverter has its own separate coolant loop, distinct from engine coolant.
