Maintenance and care
■Engine oil consumption
●The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of
the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
●More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and fre -
quent acceleration and deceleration.
●A new engine consumes more oil.
●When judging the amount of oil consumpt ion, keep in mind that the oil may
have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
●Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000
km). If the vehicle consumes more than this amount, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Resetting the engine oil main tenance data (U.S.A. only)

wn.
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Lexus recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.

Maintenance and care
Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valv
es and transmitters are installed,
new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes must be regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning computer and tir
e pressure warning
system must be initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmit -
ter ID code registered by your Lexus dealer. ( P. 394 )
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
● When changing the tir
e inflation pressure by changing traveling
speed or load weight, etc.
● When changing the tir
e size.
When the tire pressure warning sys tem is initializ
ed, the current tire

Maintenance and care
Registering and selecting ID codes
■Registering ID codes
2 sets of tire pressure warning va lv
e and transmitter ID codes can be
registered. Once a second set of ti res is registered at “2nd”, you can
switch between tire set settings simply by pressing the tire pressure
warning select switch.
There are 2 settings:
“MAIN” position: The ID code of the tir
e pressure warning valve and
transmitter on the tires originally installed on the vehicle is registered.
“2nd” position: The ID code is not r
egistered. When you replace a new
set of tires, purchase tire pressu re warning valves and transmitters
from your Lexus dealer and have the new ID code registered by your
Lexus dealer.
■ Selecting ID codes
When replacing tires, make sure to select the ID code set that matches
the ne
w tire set. If the tire pressu re warning select switch is set to
wrong tire setting, the tire pressu re warning system will not operate
properly. After about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light
comes on after blinking for 1 minu te to indicate a system malfunction.
