How much oil does a 2019 Lexus GX 460 1ur Fe take?
It takes about 6.0 quarts of engine oil, or roughly 5.7 liters, including the oil filter.
In this article, we detail the official capacity for the GX 460’s 1UR-FE V8, the recommended oil type, and what this means for maintenance and oil changes.
Official capacity and oil type
The GX 460 uses a 1UR-FE 4.6-liter V8. The engine oil capacity is specified by Toyota/Lexus as 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters) with the oil filter. The recommended oil viscosity for normal driving is SAE 0W-20 full synthetic. Some climates or driving conditions may allow alternative viscosities per the owner's manual, but 0W-20 is the standard recommendation for this engine.
The capacity figure refers to the total amount needed to fill the system to the full mark on the dipstick after an oil and filter change. If you drain only the oil without changing the filter, the practical capacity will be slightly less.
Maintenance intervals and practical tips
To help with maintenance planning, here are the typical oil change intervals and checks for the GX 460 under normal driving conditions. Always refer to your owner's manual for the exact intervals based on your region and driving style.
- Oil capacity: 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters) with filter, when performing a full oil change.
- Recommended oil type: SAE 0W-20 full synthetic.
- Recommended change interval: generally every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal driving; more frequent changes under severe conditions or in extreme climates.
- Dipstick check: after refilling, ensure the level sits between the Full marks when the engine is warm.
Following these specifications helps ensure proper lubrication for the 1UR-FE engine, supporting performance and longevity while aligning with Lexus maintenance guidelines.
Oil change procedure highlights
When performing an oil change, follow a standard sequence to avoid overfilling or underfilling. The general procedure is to warm the engine, drain old oil, replace the filter, pour in new oil, and check the level with the dipstick.
- Warm up the engine to operating temperature to ensure accurate draining.
- Turn off the engine and safely raise the vehicle if needed; drain old oil into an approved container.
- Replace the oil filter with a new one suitable for the 1UR-FE engine.
- Refill with 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters) of SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil, then start the engine and check for leaks.
- Shut off, wait a minute, and recheck the oil level with the dipstick; add small amounts if necessary to reach the full mark.
These steps reflect standard practice for the GX 460 and are intended to guide a routine oil change. For precise torque specs on the drain plug and filter, consult the owner’s manual or a Lexus service bulletin.
Summary
The 2019 Lexus GX 460 with the 1UR-FE V8 takes about 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters) of engine oil, including the oil filter, when performing an oil change. Use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil and follow the recommended service intervals, typically around 10,000 miles or 12 months under normal driving, adjusting for severe conditions. Always verify exact specs in your owner's manual or with a Lexus dealer.
