9328-1. Specifications
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
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 con-
ditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil con-
tainers to help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE
SN” means the oil quality desig-
nation by American Petroleum
Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has
fuel-saving and environmental
protection capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Com-
mittee (ILSAC) Certification
Mark is displayed on the front
of the container.
