Turns out my dad’s driving for Uber in the car they recently bought, a 2019 Lexus RX450h. It was a futile attempt to stop him(or shame them into buying a Prius or Sonata/Altima for that). Anyways, the car calls for 0W-20, as any recent Toyota uses. The engine is the “hybrid” version of the 2GR-FKS, the 2GR-FXS. At least the engine has Toyota’s D4-S dual port/direct injection system so I’m not worried about DI deposits as much.
Since the car will see lots of city traffic and stop & go, I’m thinking an “extended performance” 0W-20 such as M1EP, Castrol Edge Extended Performance or Valvoline Extended Protection with 5K OCIs. Use one of those, or just stick with any D1G2/D1G3 oil?
I’m also thinking of running BG’s EPR for PM every 30K to keep the rings free - Toyotas as of late seem to have a tendency to burn oil as they age.
