Hi

Can anyone tell me the correct engine oil viscosity for a Lexus IS 220d or recommend an oil to use as a top up oil between services. Ideally I would like an oil that is available from either a petrol station or halfords.

Thanks

David

first thing to do is check weather your dealer has put mineral or synthetic in at the service.which ever is the case sae 5w30 is the preferred choice see page 266 of your manual.

i got a quote for service at lex sheffield and they said that they use mineral as std and it would be extra for synthetic.
