I use a compatible Motorcraft filter and the Havoline synthetic that comes in the box. It gets hot. The engine is just fine. You don’t need to fret over fancy oil. It’s a Lexus.
I have an oil extractor that cost me $75 and it works great. Give it a few Pumps and let it do the job. For a 2.0t I’d get liqui moly with a Mann filter all for about $45.
Bought a dealer Sell Pack of 12 Motorcraft filters at Rockauto.
I've only ever used mann, I'm sure they both work! I'm going to stick with what I know is perfect though.
Lol - there is a torque spec on the factory oil caps now 32mm socket @ 25Nm is all it needs. And yes I use my torque wrench every time on it I Only use Mann or OEM filters from the dealership. Not had a collapse.
I buy two 5L jugs and a MANN filter from FCP euro and use their lifetime warranty.
I just go to Walmart or Costco and pick up 5W30 and a filter on ebay or amazon (mann). As long as it's LL01 approved oil, it'll treat your engine right.
For the oil filter mahle Mann or will do.
Oil Changes are done every 7,500km (VW calls for 15,000km). Always done with Fuchs/Liqui Moly/Motul full synthetic oil (5W-40) and MANN filter.
The five has been known to not fill up with oil upon starting due to the one way valve At the top to create a bubble. It is rare but has happened. The five was always difficult to fill because you had to fill the small holes instead of the center.
