Oil - 5w30, 5w20, ?

Which oil do you use? I believe my cap says 5w20 or 30. Whatever it says, I used it a few weeks ago l. Has a Lexus fanatic found that a different type is better for our cars?

Your cap says 5W-30.

There was a thread on this recently, no need to start a new one: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...-30-in-it.html

Thank you. I guess it's best to just stick with what Lexus tells you to use unless they later switch it up

A Lexus fanatic found that a different type is better? Everyone is an expert these days....
