How many quarts does a GX 460 take?

The GX 460 takes about 6.4 quarts of engine oil with a new filter.


The GX 460 uses a 4.6-liter V8 engine (the 1UR-FE). The official capacity for an oil-and-filter change is 6.4 quarts (6.1 liters). This figure can vary slightly by model year or market, so it's wise to verify with the owner's manual or by checking the dipstick after filling.


Official capacity and what to check


For most GX 460s equipped with the 1UR-FE engine, the standard oil-change capacity is 6.4 quarts when a new filter is installed. This is the baseline figure you should plan around when performing a full oil change.


Year-to-year variations and verification


Oil capacity can differ by model year, revisions to the engine, or regional specifications. If you drive a GX 460 from a different market or a newer/older production run, consult the exact specification in your owner's manual or a Toyota/Lexus service bulletin. In all cases, confirm the final oil level with the dipstick after adding oil so you avoid under- or overfilling the engine.


Practical tips for the oil change


When performing the change, drain the old oil completely, replace the oil filter, and pour in roughly the full 6.4-quart amount in stages. After running the engine briefly, recheck the level with the dipstick and top off to the full mark if needed. Always use the recommended oil grade for your climate and model year as specified in the manual.


Summary


In short, the GX 460 typically requires 6.4 quarts of engine oil with a new filter for an oil-change service. Verify the exact figure for your specific year and region in the owner’s manual, and always confirm the final level with the dipstick after filling.
