I'm changing the oil on a 92 sc300 with 140K. What type of oil would I use? I think originally it is supposed to be 5-30 bust since there are so many miles should I put something else in there? Also how many quarts does the engine need?

 

go with a 10W-30 formulated for high mileage engines. If you have no apparent leaks or drips and if it looks/runs relatively clean (no sludging, no smoke, no abnormally high usage over time) then you might consider synthetic formulas.

I can't help you on the volume though, that is what the owners manual is for.

don't forget to change the filter too

 

USe Volly-synthese or Mobil 1 synthetic.

 

don't have the manual. How many quarts go into a 2jz-ge?

 

If you register your car on Lexus.com (in the owner's area) you can request a FREE owner's manual!

 

5 quarts + or - a couple drops.
