How to read oil container labels

Some oil containers are labeled with ILSAC certification marks that

help you to select the proper oil.

■

Engine oil consumption

●

The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of the

oil and the way the vehicle is driven.

●

More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and frequent

acceleration and deceleration.

●

A new engine consumes more oil.

●

When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have

become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.

●

Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000

km)

●

If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles (1000 km),

contact your Lexus dealer.
