Lexus recommends having your 2011 Lexus GS350’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Lexus-recommended oil change intervals, your GS350 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Lexus if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus GS350. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

  • How hard is it to change Lexus GS350 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think.

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 GS350 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
