Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified
intervals. SAE 0W-20 oil is the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 may be used; however, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20
at the next oil change. See your
Lexus dealer for oil specifically
formulated for your vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
replaceable oil-filter element and
oil-filter cap O-ring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions
on how to reset the reminder light,
refer to your Owner’s Manual.
note: If you do the majority of
your driving under any of the
special operating conditions
indicated on page 44, you should
replace the engine oil and oil filter
every six months or 5,000 miles,
regardless of the oil used or the
certification of the vehicle.
