Engine Oil Lexus Aristo

[LEXMAN]

Whats a good engine oil for a 99 twin turbo Aristo ?

I dont take mine to lexus anymore, and i want to make sure

the mechanic servicing my car uses the right Oil.

Is 15/40 ok ? and is there a brand reccomended and is synthetic better ?

Thanks

After a lot of years of motorsport I'm quite happy that synthetics are better. Whether you NEED them or not is something else...

I use synthetics in a newish car and keep it in for at least 30000km, then after a few years go to semi-synthetics. I used to use Mobil One, but it got too expensive. Currently using Castrol.

I don't think there is much difference between the major brands.

hope this helps
