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 fre-

quent 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 Imp. qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000

km)

●

If your vehicle consumes more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp. qt.) every 600 miles

(1000 km), contact your Lexus dealer.
