Engine Oil Fluid And Capacity

[denvergs300]

:o Newbie:

I'm doing a oil change this weekend on my 1993 GS300.

I just bought my GS over the weekend and this is my first Lexus. Previously owned a Infiniti G20. This one did not come with a owners manual.

Anyone know the drain and refill capacity?

Anyone had any good experiences with Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-30 on these cars?

Thx.

Approx 4 quarts. Go by what the dipstick says, not by fluid capacity figures.

Some folks here have experienced oil leaks after using Mobil 1 in older Lexus's.

What do you use on your Lexus?

I'd stick with regular oil. I like Castrol. Been using it in cars and bikes for 30 years now.

You might be able to fine an owners manual on Ebay.

I use mobil 1 exclusively on all my cars and bikes. I have heard of leaks when switching to synthetic initially, usually they stop after a few oil changes.

Lexus dealers in the UK only seem to use synthetic oil but then our drain interval is longer, every 10,000 miles.
