IS250/220d/200d_EE
CAUTION
Using the tire jack
Improper use of the tire jack may lead to death or serious injuries due to the
vehicle suddenly falling off the jack.
Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or
installing and removing tire chains.
Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.
Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replac-
ing tires on this vehicle.
Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the jack point.
Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by a jack.
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack.
Do not raise the vehicle while someone is in it.
When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.
Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to replace the
tire.
Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.
Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one work-
ing on or near the vehicle may be injured.
Replacing a flat tire
Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N
•m (10.5
kgf
•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

*: 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”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving”,
SN “Resource-Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade engine oil

IS250/220d/200d_EERecommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Lexus vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, 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 viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become diffi-
cult to start, so SAE 5W-30 or
lower viscosity engine oil is
recommended.
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 oper-
ated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.

Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil contain-
ers to help you select the oil you should use.

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.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The ILSAC (International
Lubricant Standardization and
