Checking And Topping Up The Oil Level; Cautions When Topping Up The Oil Level; Oil Level Gauge - Lexus LFA Owner's Manual

Checking and topping up the oil level
The LFA uses a dry-sump oil system to circulate the engine oil between the
engine and the oil tank. Therefore, depending on the conditions, the level of oil
in the oil tank can vary greatly.
Cautions when checking the oil level
• In order to attain the most accurate
measurement, leave the engine
running after driving and check the
oil level while the engine is idling. The
oil level will take time to stabilize if the
engine is stopped and started again.
• As the engine oil level in the oil tank
varies depending on the driving
condition of the vehicle immediately
before measurement, the results may
vary even if the overall oil amount is
constant.

Cautions when topping up the oil level

• Ensure that the oil level does not fall below the MIN marking.
• The space between the MAX and MIN markings represents approximately
2. 1 qt. (2.0 L, 1.8 Imp. qt.). While the oil may be topped up as required, never
add more than 0.5 qt. (0.5 L, 0.4 lmp. qt.) at one time.
• Even if the oil level is below the MAX mark, do not add more oil than
necessary.

Oil level gauge

• The oil level gauge installed on the oil tank is for oil changes. Do not use it to
check the current oil level.
