2022 Lexus GX460

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 GX460.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

The 2022 Lexus GX460 pairs its engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, with a 0W-20 or 5W-20 oil specification calling for 8.2 quarts at service and EPA ratings of 15 mpg city, 19 mpg highway, and 16 mpg combined. For a researcher, the more meaningful data sits in the reliability record, where this model year has so far drawn just seven owner complaints — most concentrated around the service brakes — alongside zero open recalls. That total matches the 2013 model year as the lowest-complaint entry in the 2010–2019 sample and sits well clear of the 38 complaints logged in 2010, placing the 2022 GX460 among the cleanest reliability showings in the nameplate's recent history.

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; spark plugs at 120,000 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 2022 Lexus GX460 benefits from a clear downward trend in federal complaints and recalls across this generation. Early years like 2010 and 2011 saw elevated complaint counts (38 and 36, respectively) and five recalls in 2010, but by 20182019 complaints had settled to just 8 per year with only 1–2 recalls and zero investigations. The provided data for the 2022 model year shows a similarly low complaint volume, with service brakes as the most cited area (3 complaints) and only one crash-related complaint reported. While the year-by-year record does not extend past 2019, the 2022 figures align with the generation’s later pattern of fewer issues, suggesting continued refinement. Given the minimal complaint activity and the absence of fire-related incidents, the 2022 GX460 appears to be a solid choice for a used purchase.
