Lexus recommends having your 2024 Lexus IS300’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your IS300 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus IS300. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
