Oil Maintenance and Service Tips

Checking Oil Level

Check your engine oil level when the engine is cold and parked on level ground. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and remove it again to read the level. The oil should be between the minimum and maximum marks.​

Oil Change Best Practices

Always replace the oil filter during every oil change to ensure proper filtration. Use a torque wrench to tighten the oil drain plug to 27 lb-ft (37 N·m) to prevent leaks and thread damage. Run the engine for a few minutes after refilling, then check for leaks around the drain plug and filter.​

Synthetic Oil Benefits

Full synthetic oil provides superior engine protection, especially in extreme temperatures. It offers better viscosity stability, reduced engine deposits, and extended drain intervals compared to conventional oil. Modern Lexus GS models require full synthetic oil to meet manufacturer specifications.​

Oil Change Intervals

Most Lexus GS models built after 2006 can go 10,000 miles between oil changes with synthetic oil. Earlier models (1993-2005) should have oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Severe driving conditions like frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or towing require more frequent changes.​

Driving ConditionOil Change Interval
Normal Driving7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months
Severe Conditions5,000 miles or 6 months

Severe conditions include frequent short trips under 5 miles, dusty environments, trailer towing, or extensive idling.​

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of oil does a Lexus GS use?

Most modern Lexus GS models (2013-2020) use 0W-20 full synthetic oil, while older models (1993-2012) typically require 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The GS F and GS 460 models use higher capacities due to their larger V8 engines. Always consult your owner manual for your specific model year.​

How much oil does a Lexus GS take?

Oil capacity varies by engine. The 2JZ-GE inline-six requires 5.7 quarts, the 2GR V6 needs 6.4 liters (6.8 quarts), V8 models range from 5.2 to 9.1 liters depending on displacement, and the turbocharged 2.0L requires 5.4 liters (5.7 quarts).​

What is the recommended oil type for a Lexus GS?

Lexus recommends full synthetic oil for all GS models. Modern vehicles (2013-2020) require 0W-20 viscosity for fuel economy and cold-start protection. Older models (1993-2012) use 5W-30 viscosity. The GS F performance model specifically requires 5W-30 despite being a newer vehicle.​

What is the oil change interval for a Lexus GS?

Oil change intervals are 10,000 miles or 12 months for newer models (2006-2020) using synthetic oil. Older models (1993-2005) should change oil every 7,500 miles or 12 months. Severe driving conditions require more frequent changes every 5,000 miles.​

Can I use 5W-20 instead of 0W-20 in my Lexus GS?

You can temporarily use 5W-20 if 0W-20 is unavailable, but you should switch back to 0W-20 at the next oil change. The 0W rating provides better cold-start protection and is specifically engineered for modern Lexus engines to maximize fuel economy.​

What oil filter does a Lexus GS use?

Oil filters vary by engine. Common OEM part numbers include 90915-YZZD1 for 2JZ-GE engines, 04152-YZZA3 for 2GR V6 engines, and 04152-31090 for various models. Aftermarket equivalents include Mobil 1 M1-110A, Fram XG10060, and K&N HP-1008.​

Conclusion

The Lexus GS requires specific engine oil capacities and viscosities depending on the model year and engine type. Capacities range from 5.2 liters in earlier V8 models to 9.1 liters in the high-performance GS F. Using the correct oil specification is critical for engine longevity, performance, and warranty compliance.​

Always use manufacturer-approved full synthetic oil meeting API SN or newer specifications. Following the recommended maintenance intervals and using quality oil filters ensures optimal engine protection. Regular oil level checks between changes help identify potential issues before they become serious problems.​
