How to read oil container labels
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.
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, 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.
