| 1MZ-FE RX 300 | 4.7 L (5.0 qt., 4.1 lmp.qt.) | 5W-30 10W-30 |
SAE 5W–30 is the best choice for your vehicle, for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W–30 engine oil in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE 5W–30 engine oil is recommended.
