Intercooler (RX300)

Start the engine and turn the air
conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fans oper-
ate and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.

The fans operate when the air conditioning

system is turned on immediately after a

cold start. Confirm that the fans are oper-

ating by checking the fan sound and air

flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the

air conditioning system on and off repeat-

edly.

(The fans may not operate in freezing tem-

peratures.)

If the fans are not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and
contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING

■

When inspecting under the hood of

your vehicle

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious

injury such as burns.

●

If steam is seen coming from under the

hood, do not open the hood until the

steam has subsided. The engine com-

partment may be very hot.

●

Keep hands and clothing (especially a

tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the

fans and belts.

Failure to do so may cause the hands

or clothing to be caught, resulting in

serious injury.

●

Do not loosen the radiator cap and the

coolant reservoir caps while the

engine and radiator are hot.

High temperature steam or coolant

could spray out.

NOTICE

■

When adding engine coolant

Add coolant slowly after the engine has

cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool

coolant to a hot engine too quickly can

cause damage to the engine.

■

To prevent damage to the cooling sys-

tem

Observe the following precautions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant with

foreign matter (such as sand or dust,

etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additive.

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a stuck vehi-

cle

If you choose to push the vehicle back

and forth to free it, make sure the sur-

rounding area is clear to avoid striking

other vehicles, objects or people. The

vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge

back suddenly as it becomes free. Use

extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with

the accelerator pedal depressed.

This may lead to unexpected rapid accel-

eration of the vehicle that may cause an

accident resulting in death or serious

injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damage to the transmission

and other components

●

Avoid spinning the front wheels and

depressing the accelerator pedal

more than necessary.

●

If the vehicle remains stuck even after

these procedures are performed, the

vehicle may require towing to be freed.

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Lexus recom-
mends the use of approved “Toyota
Genuine Motor Oil”. Another motor
oil of matching quality can also be
used.
Oil grade:
0W-20 and 5W-30
API grade SM “Energy-Conserving”,
SN “Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS
“Resource-Conserving” or SP
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC

GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):

Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
Preferred

SAE 0W-20 is filled into your Lexus
vehicle at manufacturing, and the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather. If SAE
0W-20 oil is not available, SAE
5W-30 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 0W-20
at the next oil change.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the

characteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower
value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold
weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the vis-

cosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil
with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.

How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks
are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should use.

API Service Symbol

Top portion: “API SERVICE SP” means the
oil quality designation by American Petro-
leum Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20” means the
SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Conserving”
means that the oil has fuel-saving and envi-
ronmental protection capabilities.

ILSAC Certification Mark

The International Lubricant Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certifica-
tion Mark is displayed on the front of the

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

●

Do not use gasoline with metallic addi-

tives, for example manganese, iron or

lead, otherwise it may cause damage

on your engine or emission control

system.

●

Do not add aftermarket fuel additives

which contain metallic additives.

●

EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under

names such as “E50” or “E85” and

fuel containing a large amount of etha-

nol should not be used. The use of

these fuels will damage the vehicle’s

fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask

any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

cle can use gasoline mixed with 10%

max ethanol. The use of fuel with more

than 10% ethanol content (E10) will

damage the vehicle’s fuel system. You

must ensure that refueling is carried

out only from a source where fuel

specification and quality can be guar-

anteed. In case of any doubt, ask any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable
