Good evening all. I recently bought RX300 and discovered that the gear oil is dark. The engine oil is also dark. My friends were advising me to only change the engine oil and leave out the ATF. Pls is the gear oil supposed to be dark? Should i proceed with the 2 maintenance. Pls what make of ATF and engine oil is recommended for Rx300. Thank you. |

Etoo: Genuine toyota ATF Type T-iV is your Lexus recommended ATF. The Engine oil is Full synthetic 5W30. |

Etoo: It shouldn't be dark. It is supposed to be reddish, it's needs to be serviced. A knowledgeable mechanic can change the oil and wash the filter like once in a year. Oando ATF is a good product. For the engine oil, Mobil xhp 1000, or better still if you want to go synthetic; Mobil 1 is an awesome choice. Used on my 300 and now my 350. |

CashVessel: Don't try this in a Toyota or lexus, OP stick to the recommended ATF I suggested for you. It might be expensive, but its cheaper than buying another gearbox and paying for installation. Don't even think of such Engine oil called Mobil XHP. Now let's run a quick maths Mobil XHP 1000 is NGN3500 x 6months = 21,000 But an average 5W30 is circa 8,000-13,000 and you're using it for 5,000miles or 6,months. Now which is more cheaper? 2 Likes

kingreign:Thanks Kingsreign. Is 4 litres going to be enough to service the transmission or is it going to be more than that. |

Thanks all for the advice. Pls how many litres of ATF is required for servicing the transmisdion and how many litres of oil is needed for the engine of RX300 |

Your car should come with a manual which you should study judiciously to help you take adequate care of that baby. That way people won't be telling you to commit an abomination by advising the usage of oando dextron and mobil xhp for a Lexus Rx. If you don't have the manual, you can download it online. Back to your questions, you need 4.75L of 5w30 oil grade if you are changing the oil filter and 4.5L if you are using the old filter. It is advisable to buy engine oil of 5L or above( Coastal, Lubex etc). For the gear, you need 5L of Toyota Type T-IV. These are products you can easily buy on konga or jumia depending on your preference. The car might be a bit expensive to maintain but it is highly reliable, dependable and very safe if you take proper care of it. I do a combined journey of over 900miles every forth night with mine and it has never coughed once. #reppingRx300for2yearsnow# 2 Likes 1 Share |

Pls in this case, how often do you service your rx 300 |

Both your gear box and engine need to be serviced. For the gear, use Toyota or Oando ATF then for your engine use SW or Superstar synthetic oil. These engine oil have been tested to be one of the best so far across the country. They are foreign lubricant. |

purityjay: Please ignore this Oando ATF advice. These guys are being sponsored by your village people. If you look at the Gear Oil dipstick in your car engine, the recommended ATF is imprinted on it and it's the Toyota T-IV as advised by Kingreign. |
