2015 Lexus LX570

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2015 LX570.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2015 Lexus LX570 is a full‑size SUV built on Lexus’s traditional body‑on‑frame architecture and powered by a V8 that requires a generous 7.9 qt oil fill of 0W‑20 or 5W‑20 viscosity, paired with a six‑speed automatic (S6) transmission; its EPA ratings of 12 mpg city, 17 mpg highway and a combined 14 mpg underscore the model’s focus on capability over fuel economy. Within the broader 2008‑2019 LX line, complaint volumes peaked in 2013 with eight reports and fell to a low of one in 2011, placing the 2015 iteration after the highest‑complaint year and suggesting it benefits from the incremental refinements that have historically improved the model’s reliability record.

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.
