What oil goes in Lexus?

The type of oil that goes in a Lexus depends on the specific model and the manufacturer’s recommendations. However, there are a few common types of oil that are often used in Lexus vehicles. Here are some options:
1. Mobil 1 FS X2 5W-50: This is an advanced full synthetic motor oil that is suited for extreme driving conditions and motorsport applications. It prevents deposits and sludge build-up, improves oil life, and provides excellent all-round wear protection. It is recommended for use in certain Lexus models in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
2. Toyota Genuine Motor Oil SAE 0W-20: Most new Lexus models require this synthetic motor oil, as the Lexus brand is owned by Toyota. It is designed to improve fuel economy, start the engine more easily in cold weather, and be longer-lasting. The price for this oil can range from $10-$15 per quart, with 5-8 quarts required for a full oil change depending on the engine size.
3. 0w-20 or 5W-30 multigrade synthetic blends: Lexus recommends using either of these multigrade synthetic blends to maintain the V6 engine in ES 350 models. The choice between the two depends on the specific vehicle and its requirements.
It’s important to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a Lexus service center to determine the exact oil specifications for your specific Lexus model. Additionally, the frequency of oil changes may vary depending on factors such as mileage and driving conditions. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for oil change intervals.
Please note that the availability and specific oil recommendations may vary by region, so it’s always best to consult the manufacturer or a trusted Lexus dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
