Lexus recommends having your 1999 Lexus ES300’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your ES300 in the above table. Outside of Lexus-recommended oil change intervals, your ES300 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lexus recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Lexus ES300. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

During an oil change, an auto technician will change your ES300’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1999 Lexus ES300 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Lexus ES300 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your ES300’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lexus ES300 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus ES300 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Lexus ES300 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Lexus ES300 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Lexus ES300 oil light illuminated? Your Lexus ES300 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my ES300's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Lexus ES300, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
