Top portion: The oil quality des-
ignation by API (American
Petroleum Institute) (SN)
Center portion: The SAE vis-
cosity grade (SAE 0W-20)
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has
fuel saving and environmental
protection.

*: 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 min-
utes, and check the oil level on the dipstick.
Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Lexus vehicle. Lexus
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.

Vehicle specifica-
IS250/220d/200d_EERecommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Lexus vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
Oil viscosity (0W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-30 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 30 in 0W-30 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 oper-
ated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.
