2020 Lexus LX570

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2020 LX570.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2020 Lexus LX570 is characterized by its S8 automatic transmission and an EPA-rated fuel economy of 12 city, 16 highway, and 14 combined mpg. When viewed against the model's complaint history from 2008 to 2019—which peaked at eight complaints in 2013 and reached a low of just one in 2011—the 2020 model year matches that historic minimum. With only a single total owner complaint focused on visibility and wiper issues alongside zero recalls, this model year sits as a high point for the nameplate's long-term reliability.

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 2020 Lexus LX570 sits at the tail end of this generation, and the federal record shows a clear trend of declining complaints and recalls as the model matured. From a peak of 8 complaints in 2013 and 3 recalls in the early years, the 20162019 period averaged just 2 complaints and 1–2 recalls annually, with TSBs also dropping from a high of 257 in 2013 to 84 in 2019. The 2020 model itself logged only 1 complaint (in Visibility/Wiper) and zero crash or fire complaints, continuing that low-incident trajectory. While no recall data is provided for 2020, the pattern across the generation suggests that later model years have fewer unresolved issues. This makes the 2020 LX570 a strong buy for a used luxury SUV, as it benefits from years of incremental refinement and a very clean early safety record.
