■Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Ref-
erence*])
*: 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.
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Lexus recom-
mends the use of approved “Toyota
Genuine Motor Oil”. Another motor
oil of matching quality can also be
used.
Oil grade:
5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”,
SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC

15W-40:
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade
engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-30 is filled into your Lexus
vehicle at manufacturing, and the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a higher vis-
cosity engine oil in extremely low tem-
peratures, the engine may become
difficult to start, so SAE 5W-30 engine
oil is recommended.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.
Preferred
Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here
as an example):
• The 5W in 5W-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 5W-30 indicates the vis-
cosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil

How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks
are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should use.

Top portion: “API SERVICE SN” means the
oil quality designation by American Petro-
leum Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 5W-30” means the
SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Conserving”
means that the oil has fuel-saving and envi-
ronmental protection capabilities.

If SAE 0W-20 oil is not available, SAE
5W-30 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 0W-20
at the next oil change.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a higher vis-

■Use of ethanol blended gasoline in a gasoline engine
Lexus allows the use of ethanol blended gasoline where the ethanol content is up to 10%. Make sure that the ethanol blended
gasoline to be used has a Research Octane Number that follows the above.
■If your engine knocks
●Consult any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●You may occasionally notice light knock-ing for a short time while accelerating or
driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be dam-
aged.
●Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline will cause the three-
way catalytic converter to lose its effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
●EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under
names such as “E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of etha-nol should not be used. The use of
these fuels will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

NOTICE
●Except EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of
ethanol should not be used. Your vehi- cle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The use of fuel with more
than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refueling is carried
out only from a source where fuel specification and quality can be guar-anteed. In case of any doubt, ask any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not use the methanol blended gas-
oline such as M15, M85, M100. The use of gasoline containing methanol may cause engine damage or failure.
