The 2016 Lexus ES is equipped with either a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V6 engine, both requiring 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil for optimal performance in any climate. In cases where 0W-20 is unavailable, 5W-20 can be used as a temporary alternative, but 0W-20 should be used at the next opportunity. The oil capacity for the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine is 4.6 quarts, including the filter, while the 3.5L V6 engine requires 6.4 quarts with the filter. The drain plug for both engines should be tightened to a torque of 30 ft/lbs. Regular oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles are crucial to maintain engine cleanliness and performance, as oil deteriorates over time.
The 2016 Lexus ES needs SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil for optimal performance in any weather condition. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine requires 4.6 quarts of oil, and the 3.5L V6 engine needs 6.4 quarts, including a new filter.
I own a Lexus 2016 RS 350 and recently added 5 liters of engine oil. However, the oil dipstick is showing that the oil level is above the maximum capacity. Can you explain why this may be happening?
