The 2017 Lexus IS 200t is equipped with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine that requires 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil. If 0W-20 is not available, you can use 5W-20 as a temporary substitute, but it should be switched back to 0W-20 at the next oil change. The car holds 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter. The oil drain plug should be torqued to 30 ft/lbs, and a new washer should be used when changing the oil. To maintain a clean and well-functioning engine, it is recommended to perform an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, which should include replacing the oil filter. If you take your car to a mechanic for an oil change, the labor cost typically ranges from $50 to $70.
The 2017 Lexus IS200t should use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil as per the recommendation.
