4-6. Driving tips
Driving
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
•Engine coolant
• Power control unit coolant (LC500h)
•Washer fluid
 Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size
and the same brand.
 Tire chains can only be installed on
the rear tires. However, tire chains
cannot be installed on 275/35RF21
or 275/40RF20 rear tires.
Before installing tire ch ains, change all four
tires and wheels to those of the specified
size for use with tire chains (front tires:
245/45RF20, rear tires: 245/45RF20,
wheels: 20 x 8 1/2 J 25 inset). Use the
specified type of tire chains and install
them on the rear tires only.
For details, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri- ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the
speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), which-
ever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control is
maintained.
●Do not use LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist) system. (if equipped)

■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

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

the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
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.
API Service Symbol
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.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubr icant Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certifica-
tion Mark is displayed on the front of the
container.

Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your Lexus

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-
cosity engine oil in extremely low tem-
peratures, the engine may become
difficult to start, so SAE 0W-20 or
5W-30 engine oil is recommended.With filter5.7 L (6.0 qt., 5.0 Imp.qt.)
