How much oil does a Lexus GS 460 take?
The Lexus GS 460 typically requires about 6.5 quarts (roughly 6.2 liters) of engine oil for a full change with the filter. This applies to the 4.6-liter V8 engine used in GS 460 models from roughly 2006 through 2011. Exact capacity can vary by model year, market, and any changes in the oil filter, so always confirm with the owner's manual or a Lexus service technician.
Understanding the oil capacity for the GS 460
The GS 460 uses the 1UR-FSE 4.6L V8 engine, and capacity figures are published with the oil filter included. In practice, most owners plan for about 6.4 to 6.9 quarts to account for variations in draining and filter size. Always use the recommended oil grade and viscosity for your climate and model year.
Why the numbers can vary
Different markets and model-year revisions can alter the exact capacity due to filter size differences or service bulletin updates. The owner’s manual is the definitive reference, and a dealership or certified technician can confirm the precise figure for your specific car.
How to verify the correct quantity for your vehicle
Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual under the Maintenance or Specifications section. If you don’t have access to a manual, contact a Lexus dealer or use the official service portal with your VIN to retrieve the official oil capacity for your exact vehicle.
