Find the numbers for your build

For this model year the oil capacity is printed per engine; the cold tyre pressure is printed per wheel package. The answer therefore depends on the car in front of you, not on the model year alone. Pick what you can read off the car itself: the engine (bootlid badge or emissions sticker), then the tyre size (on the sidewall).

Tyre pressure (cold)
33–35 psi
Across 3 tyre sizes. Your build is one of these — the door-jamb label settles which.

Nothing here is filled in from another configuration. A figure the manual does not print stays not published; a figure that depends on an unmarked build type shows the range and points at the door-jamb label.

Quick answer

What the manual leaves open
Which build gets which figure
It lists 2 different cold pressures across 3 wheel sizes and never says which trim gets which, so 33–35 psi is the range for this model year, not your figure. Oil is printed per engine: 2.5L 4-cylinder (2AR-FE): 4.7 qt with filter, 4.2 qt without; 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE): 6.4 qt with filter, 6.0 qt without. The tyre size on the sidewall and the label on the driver's door jamb are the only places your exact build is named.
Pick the engine and the tyre size in the selector above to narrow it. Nothing here is averaged or carried over from another year.
