Engine oil selection

Gasoline Engine –
"Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" is used in your Lexus vehicle. Lexus recommends
the use of approved "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil". Another motor oil of matching
quality can also be used.

●

Oil grade:

0W-20 and 5W-30: API grade SM "Energy-Conserving", SN "Resource-
Conserving", SN PLUS "Resource-Conserving" or SP "Resource-Conserv-
ing"; or ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil

●

Recommended viscosity (SAE):

Temperature range anticipated before next
oil change

Preferred

SAE 0W-20 is filled into your Lexus vehicle at manufacturing, and the best choice
for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-20 oil is not
available, SAE 5W-30 oil may be used. However, it should be replced with SAE
0W-20 at the next oil change.

■

How to read oil container label

Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you
select the ol you should use.

*1 :

The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the engine

oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and check the oil level

on the dipstick.

API Service Symbol:

Top portion: "API SERVICE SP" means
the oil quality designation by American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Center portion: "SAE 0W-20" means
the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: "Resource-Conserving"
means that the oil has fuel-saving and
environmental protection capabilities.

ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certification
Mark is displayed on the front of the con-
tainer.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

●

The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold
startability.
Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of the engine in
cold weather.

●

The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is
at high temperature.
An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a higher value) may be better suited if the
vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
