reyoasian Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi, I have a 2009 Lexus IS250 AWD (I'm located in Canada) I just have a few quick questions about oil change before I call Lexus. I am planning to buy my own oil and filter and take it to Lexus for oil change because maintenance is too expensive. 1) I've been told that Mobil 1 engine oil is the best on the market so just wondering if anyone has experience with it, and if you do, which 1 of these is better: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/AutoFluidsChemicals/EngineOils/PRD~0289420P/Mobil%252B1%252BSynthetic%252BMotor%252BOil%25252C%252B1L.jsp?locale=en http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/AutoFluidsChemicals/EngineOils/PRD~0289431P/Mobil%252B1%252BExtended%252BPerformance%252BMotor%252BOil.jsp?locale=en apparently, the extended performance synthetic one lasts 20,000 KM...what about the normal synthetic one? 2) I know that 5W30 is the one to use, but how many Liters/Quarts should do I need? 3) I've also heard K&N is the best filter on the market, is this the right filter and how many KM does it last: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/AutoCustomPerformance/KNPerformance/PRD~0340200P/K%252B%252526%252BN%252BOil%252BFilter.jsp?locale=en Thanks in advance!

glissman Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Change oil more frequently. Forget the 20,000 promises, change at 5000. Do this and any name brand filter is OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
