Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity:
SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE 5W-20 oil may be used. However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change.
Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
- The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold storability. 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.
How to read oil container label: The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.
A25A-FKS engine
Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Reference*])
With filter | 4.8 qt. (4.5 L, 4.0 Imp. qt.) |
Without filter | 4.4 qt. (4.2 L, 3.7 Imp. qt.) |
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.
