2014 Lexus GX460

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 GX460.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2014 Lexus GX460 is an SUV with an engine oil capacity of 8.2 quarts of 0W-20 API oil, paired with an Automatic (S6) transmission and EPA ratings of 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined. Across the 2010–2019 model run, owner complaints ranged from a high of 38 in 2010 to a low of 7 in 2013, while the 2014 model accounted for 21 complaints, with suspension flagged as the top complaint area and three recalls on record. That places the 2014 GX460 near the middle of its generation’s reliability spectrum, making it a representative reference point rather than an outlier year.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The federal record shows complaints were high in 2010‑2011 (38 and 36), fell sharply to a low of 7 in 2013, rose again to 21 in 2014, then declined to single‑digit levels by 20162019. Recall activity remained relatively steady at three per year from 2011 through 2015, with only 2010 exceeding that figure and 2016, 2018, 2019 dropping to two or one. Technical service bulletins increased each year to a peak of 271 in 2014 before trending downward to 98 by 2019. In 2014 the most frequently cited complaint areas were suspension (4), electrical system (3), engine (2), and fuel/propulsion system (2), accompanied by three crash‑related complaints and no fire complaints. Consequently, while 2014 exhibits a moderate complaint uptick compared with the immediate preceding low‑point years, its recall level is typical for the generation, making it an acceptable but not optimal choice; buyers seeking the fewest reported issues may prefer later model years with lower complaint counts.
