How many quarts does LS460 take?
The LS460 typically requires about 6.9 quarts of engine oil for a complete change with a new filter. Exact amounts vary by model year and market, so always verify against your vehicle’s manual or service data.
Understanding the oil capacity
The numbers below assume a full oil change with the filter replaced. If you are only topping off, use the dipstick to bring the level to the marked range rather than relying on the listed total.
- With oil filter replacement: approximately 6.9 quarts (about 6.5 liters).
- Without replacing the filter: roughly 6.0–6.2 quarts.
Note: Some LS460 variants and markets may show slight deviations; always confirm the exact spec for your VIN from Lexus service data or the owner’s manual.
Model-year and regional variations
Most LS460 versions equipped with the 5.0 L V8 (engine code 2UR-GSE) follow the 6.9-quart guideline when performing a full oil change with a new filter. For other variants or late-model updates, the figure can shift by a quart or so depending on hardware changes and filter size.
Practical tips for the oil change
Use the recommended viscosity as noted in the owner’s manual, typically synthetic 5W-30; ensure correct torque on the drain plug; replace the drain plug gasket; and dispose of old oil properly.
Summary
In summary, plan on about 6.9 quarts of engine oil for a full LS460 oil change with a new filter, with a lower figure if the filter isn’t replaced. Always verify the exact capacity for your specific vehicle year and market to avoid under- or over-filling.
