off the hybrid system, 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:
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.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

●

Do not use gasoline with metallic addi-

tives, for example manganese, iron or

lead, otherwise it may cause damage

on your engine or emission control

system.

●

Do not add aftermarket fuel additives

which contain metallic additives.

●

EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under

names such as “E50” or “E85” and

fuel containing a large amount of etha-

nol should not be used. The use of

these fuels will damage the vehicle’s

fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask

any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●

Except EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold

under names such as “E50” or “E85”

and fuel containing a large amount of

ethanol should not be used. Your vehi-

cle can use gasoline mixed with 10%

max ethanol. The use of fuel with more

than 10% ethanol content (E10) will

damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You

must ensure that refueling is carried

out only from a source where fuel

specification and quality can be guar-

anteed. In case of any doubt, ask any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●

Do not use the methanol blended gas-

oline such as M15, M85, M100. The
