6-1. Specifications
IS F_EERecommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-30 is filled into your
Lexus vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become diffi-
cult to start, so SAE 5W-30
engine oil is recommended.
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 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.
Preferred
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.

NOTICE
Notice on fuel quality
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be
damaged.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85” and
fuel containing a large amount of ethanol 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
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 vehicle 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 guaranteed. In case of
any doubt, ask any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
