Buying your first car is a huge milestone. Congratulations! The type of oil used for the 2004
Lexus RX330
is 5W-30 fully synthetic motor oil:
  • 5W-30 means it will lubricate your engine even at extremely high and low temperatures
  • Fully synthetic means it doesn’t contain impurities that might clog up and break your engine
Changing your own oil is an awesome way to save money, but using the wrong oil could do more harm than good to your engine. That’s why you should always check your car’s owner’s manual or oil cap to verify that you’re using the right oil.
