Quick car question
Getting ready for my first oil change on the Lexus IS300. I've always used Castrol 5w30 on past cars, but they've all been 4 cyl. This is a 6 cyl with 90K miles. Suggestions? Thanks!

You don't need to change the oil in a Lexus, they are above that.

Just to clarify, I bought the car used. I have not waited 90,000 miles to do an oil change.

Don't forget to check the muffler bearing while you're at it.

Yep. Assuming you've got the manual, it should have a recommendation for the type of oil to use, possibly with specific recommendations based on the types of driving you plan to be doing (in terms of weather, frequency, etc.).

I do. I had asked one of the guys that works for me who drives them what he used, and he said 20w40 or something like that. I just thought it sounded weird. I'll check my manual.

There are much better people that can answer this on the planet than me, but I would stick with synthetic - it doesn't need to be changed as much and holds up better over time. Generally, I think people will put a lighter weight oil in their cars in the summer (due to the heat) and a heavier weighted oil in the winter, although I could have that backwards.

In the end, this post probably isn't much help but it is one more post on my way to not being a n00b. Good luck.

There's a chance it may even have a recommendation on your oil cap.

FYI: Many cars now also have the oil weight listed on the oil cap.
