2017 Lexus GS F

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 GS F.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2017 Lexus GS F utilizes an eight-speed automatic transmission and a powertrain requiring 9.3 quarts of 5W-30 API oil, yielding EPA ratings of 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. With just one documented owner complaint—centered on steering and lane-departure systems—and a single recall on record, this model year represents a notably stable entry in the vehicle’s reliability history. That minimal service footprint establishes it as a predictable benchmark for researchers assessing long-term mechanical behavior.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 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.

Across the 20162018 GS F generation, the federal record is remarkably stable: each model year carries exactly one recall and zero investigations, with consumer complaints essentially nonexistent — the 2017 model year shows zero formal complaints in the federal tally, though a single entry is logged under Steering/Lane Departure as the top complaint area. The most notable trend is the steady decline in technical service bulletins (TSBs), falling from 158 in 2016 to 132 in 2017 and then to 94 in 2018, which suggests Lexus was progressively resolving manufacturing and design refinements as the generation matured. The 2017 model sits squarely in the middle of that arc, benefiting from the early-year shakeout captured in the 2016 TSB count while not yet reflecting the further-softened 2018 numbers. The data does not specify the root cause behind the single recall or the lone steering/lane departure complaint, so no definitive reliability concern can be drawn from it. From a purely federal-record standpoint, the 2017 GS F is a solid purchase: it carries no unique complaint burden, the TSB volume is moderate and declining, and there is no evidence of an escalating defect pattern across the generation.
