EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified intervals.
SAE 0W-20 oil is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-20
is not available, SAE 5W-20 may be
used; however, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change. See your Lexus dealer for
oil specifically formulated for your
vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
replaceable oil-filter element and
oil-filter cap O-ring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions
on how to reset the reminder light,
refer to your Owner’s Manual.
Note: If you do the majority of your
driving under any of the special
operating conditions indicated on
page 44, you should replace the
engine oil and oil filter every six
months or 5,000 miles, regardless
of the oil used or the certification
of the vehicle.
