How to confirm the exact capacity for your vehicle
To ensure you add the correct amount on your next oil change, follow these steps:
- Check the owner's manual or Lexus service information for your exact model-year and engine code.
- Look for an oil capacity label under the hood or near the radiator support; this may list capacity with and without a filter.
- Identify your engine code (for many 3.5L Lexus models, the engine code is 2GR-FE) to match the correct spec.
- During an oil change, add about 5 quarts first, then measure with the dipstick and top up in small increments until full is reached.
Using these steps will help you land on the precise oil capacity for your specific Lexus 350.
