Car Oil Types

When you’ve invested your hard-earned money into a luxury Lexus vehicle, we here at Kent Kent Lexus recommend that you ensure you’re choosing the right products for your routine maintenance. There are a few different motor oils available from our dealership’s service department. What you choose will really depend on your specific driving habits, how much mileage you have on your Lexus, the age of your engine, and where you live. We can help you figure out which product would be the most ideal for your situation, and your owner’s manual likely has information regarding your oil changes.

Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Optimal performance and protection might be what you’re looking for if you’re the proud owner of a Lexus. Full synthetic motor oil can provide you with these features, along with a higher viscosity level, resistance to oxidation, and protection against thermal breakdown. We often see a change in a vehicle’s fuel efficiency numbers when full synthetic is used. While it’s a bit more expensive of an option, it’s worth it. This is especially true if you’re driving within an area that has varying degrees of weather throughout the year.

Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

Multiple benefits are provided through a synthetic blend motor oil that is comprised of synthetic oil and conventional oil. Additives are also thrown in to prevent oxidation. You can switch to a synthetic blend oil if you’re using conventional oil for some time now.

Conventional Motor Oil

If affordability of maintenance and oil is your main concern, we recommend using the highest quality conventional oil that you can find. It’s perfect for low mileage vehicles that aren’t traveling very far away from their predominant area.

High Mileage Motor Oil

After your Lexus has passed the 75,000-mile mark, make the switch over to high mileage motor oil for protection against leaks and damage. You can also use this product to reduce your oil consumption and emissions output.

If you would like to talk to one of our certified technicians regarding the motor oil that you should be using for your specific make and model of vehicle, we encourage you to reach out to our service department. You can also stop down to our Evansville location if you’re in the area.
