What engine oil does Lexus recommend?

Lexus Engine Oil Recommendation
Lexus recommends using Mobil 1 FS X2 5W-50 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil for their vehicles. This oil is specifically formulated to deliver great all-round performance and keep the engine performing like new. It is designed for extreme driving conditions and motorsport applications, preventing deposits and sludge build-up and providing excellent wear protection.
In addition, it is important to use an engine oil that has the specification API PS, ILSAC GF-5, GF-6 for Lexus vehicles. These specifications ensure that the oil meets the necessary performance characteristics of Lexus engines and optimizes their technical parameters and performance.
It is worth noting that newer Lexus and Toyota engines have been using 0W-20 weight oil for a while. This weight of oil only comes in synthetic form, and Toyota recommends using synthetic oil for the 10,000-mile oil change intervals.
To determine the specific engine oil grade and viscosity for your Lexus, it is best to consult the owner’s manual or ask a trusted mechanic.
Please note that the availability of specific engine oils may vary by region, so it is recommended to check with local distributors or authorized dealers for more information.
