Oil Capacity

[Cathal]

just back from college and lecture was on about engines and oil filters and made me want to change mine before i go on about a 550km round trip.

I've searched the site and gona get Castrol manetec 5w30 fully syn

but dont know how much oil to put in i'll probaly have to buy two containers yes??

So just wondering the capacity, and i'll be getting a oil filter from lexus

1G-FE oil change only=3.9 Liters recomended grade 10W30/SJ

1G-FE oil change with filter=4.1 Liters recommended grade 10W30/SH

good luck :)

if your just draining the oil and changing the filter, 4.0 litres dead on is enough, 4.1 tends to over fill due to obviously a small amount of oil still being left in the engine.

new oil and lexus oil filter in, feels great when new oil is in, runs smoother and peace of mind

btw anyone who tinks any oil filter will do, they wont.

some guy did a study of about 6 oil filters including Halfords and pictures and all, and bacasically the manufactures one was clearly the best, he opened them up so you can have a look and did a report on all of them, its on google i'll try get link again

edit: how do you guys change the oil filter i got it off by going underneeth the car and had my arm wedged trying to remove it got it easially did not need any tools but just thinking how would ya get the oil filter wrench in there of do you remove it from the top??

ive always said that the OEM Toyota filers are the best

I jack up that side of the car, take the wheel off and use a long reech oil filter tool to get it off. Done 6 services now on my IS, so pretty used to it.

Thread from the dead!

Not too familiar with the engine codes on the IS200 but would the 1G-FE be from around 2002/2003? If so and the sump capacity is 3.9/4.1 litres can anyone give me the same info for my 2JZ IS300?

Stand down. Found it. I think.

Just in case anyone needs the info its in the back of the owners manual for both is200 an is300. Added whole page as the coolant is also important to note
