Check the cap where you fill your engine with oil, should say ontop of that cap.

Yes you have to put oil in a diesel engine just like a gasoline engine.

You are probably thinking of a two cycle gas engine, where the oil is mixed with (or injected with) the fuel, rather than poured in the crankcase.

Ask on:

http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/for...?showforum=127

Most of the folks on this board are in the US and we don't get the diesel over here.
