Lexus recommends changing your 2016 IS200t’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your IS200t in the above table. No matter the mileage, your IS200t may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Lexus if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds.

In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

2016 Lexus IS200t Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Lexus IS200t motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Lexus IS200t engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Lexus IS200t 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus IS200t exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Lexus IS200t oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Lexus IS200t oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Lexus IS200t oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Lexus IS200t oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my IS200t’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Lexus IS200t 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.
