Not sure how or where to get your Lexus IS250’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too.

Lexus recommends having your 2006 Lexus IS250’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.
