Your 2001 ES300’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your ES300 in the above table.

You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Lexus if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lexus ES300.
