Oil Used in Lexus
Lexus vehicles typically use synthetic motor oil, and the specific type of oil required can vary based on the model and engine. The recommended oil types for Lexus vehicles include:
– Mobil 1 FS X2 5W-50: This is a recommended oil for Lexus vehicles in certain regions, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, New Zealand, and the Philippines. It is an advanced full synthetic motor oil designed to prevent deposits and sludge build-up, improve oil life, and provide excellent all-round wear protection.
– 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 oil change intervals for vehicles using this oil can vary, with some models requiring changes every 10,000 km/12 months for 0W-20 synthetic oil, and others requiring changes every 5,000 km/6 months if the optional use of 0W-20 synthetic oil is allowed .
– 0W-20 or 5W-30 Multigrade Synthetic Blends: These are recommended for maintaining the V6 engine in Lexus ES 350 models. The oil change intervals for these blends can range from every 5,000 miles for conventional blends to every 7,500-10,000 miles for synthetic blends.
It’s important to note that the specific oil type and change intervals for a Lexus vehicle should be determined based on the recommendations in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or by consulting with a trained expert at a local Lexus dealer.
If you have a specific Lexus model in mind, it’s advisable to refer to the owner’s manual or contact a Lexus dealership for precise information regarding the oil type and change intervals for that particular vehicle.
