2012 Lexus HS250h Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus HS250h? Engine oil is a lubricant for the 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 eventually lead to Lexus HS250h engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lexus HS250h oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus HS250h exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lexus HS250h oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Lexus HS250h oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Lexus HS250h to illuminate? The oil change light in your Lexus HS250h could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my HS250h’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Lexus HS250h oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
