CONDITION
Starting with the 2010 Model Year, Lexus began a gradual transition to the use of synthetic Ow-20
viscosity engine oil. There are multiple benefits of this oil, including:
•
Reduced friction and wear on engine surfaces
•
•
•
Improved fuel economy
Reduction in waste oil stream (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals)
Reduced maintenance cost (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals)
Due to the improved performance and durability of Ow-20 synthetic oil, Lexus has extended the oil
change intervals to 10,000 miles for vehicles that require this oil. With this change , the following
should be noted :
•
•
•
•
Only Lexus vehicles in which Ow-20 oil is mandatory have been approved for extended oil
change intervals.
Vehicles in which Ow-20 is an option to 5w-20 (or 5w-30) will continue to require 5,000 mile
change intervals, even if Ow-20 oil is used .
In the case of vehicles with 10,000 mile oil change intervals, the 5,000 mile service interval has
not been eliminated. The traditional 5,000 mile maintenance procedures (such as tire rotation)
will continue to be required , and the fluid levels (including engine oil) will need to be checked
and adjusted at this time.
If the vehicle operation meets the standard criteria for "Special Operating Conditions" such as:
driving off-road, on dirt roads, towing a trailer, making repeated short trips under 32° F, or
extensive idling; the engine oil must be replaced at 5,000 mile intervals, regardless of oil
specified.
Please follow the chart on page 2 to determine the proper oil viscosity, fill quantity, and proper change
interval for 2010-2014 Model Year Lexus vehicles under non-severe usage.
