How much oil does a Lexus ES 350 hold?

The ES 350 typically holds about 6.0 quarts (roughly 5.7 liters) of engine oil when you perform a full oil change with a new filter. Exact capacity can vary slightly by model year and market, so always check your owner's manual for the precise figure.


Oil capacity overview


The ES 350 uses a 3.5-liter V6 (2GR-FE) engine. While the core capacity is stable, the official specification you’ll see in manuals and service guides can differ slightly depending on year and region. The following figures reflect common references used by manufacturers and dealers.


Representative figures (with filter)


Before listing the capacities, note that these figures assume a standard full oil change with a new filter. If you are servicing a vehicle outside these conditions, results may vary.



  • Oil capacity with filter: 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters)

  • Oil capacity without filter: about 5.0 quarts (4.7 liters)

  • Recommended oil type: synthetic 5W-30 (verify viscosity for your market in the owner's manual)


These numbers are intended as general guidance. For exact specifications, refer to the owner’s manual for your exact model year and region, as capacities can shift slightly across generations.


How to use this information in maintenance


When planning an oil change, use the “with filter” capacity as your target for the total refill after draining. Begin by adding the full amount, then check the dipstick and top off in small increments until the proper level is reached. Always replace the oil filter during a full change and use the recommended viscosity for your climate and model year.


Summary


The Lexus ES 350 generally holds about 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters) of oil with a new filter during a full change, with roughly 5.0 quarts (4.7 liters) being the capacity without a filter. Always confirm the exact specification in your vehicle’s owner’s manual, as capacity can vary slightly by year and market. Use the recommended 5W-30 synthetic oil unless your manual specifies a different viscosity.
