engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn
off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes, and check the oil level on the
dipstick.
Q 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:
0W-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserv-
ing”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserv-
ing” or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
0W-20 and 5W-30:
API grade SM “Energy-Conserving”,
SN “Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS
“Resource-Conserving” or SP
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC
GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-16 is filled into your Lexus
vehicle at manufacturing, and the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 oil is not available, SAE
0W-20 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 0W-16
at the next oil change.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.
Preferred
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 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 16 in 0W-16 indicates the vis-
cosity 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 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.
