Your 2012 IS350’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your IS350 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus IS350. 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.

2012 Lexus IS350 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Lexus IS350 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Lexus IS350 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lexus IS350 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus IS350 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lexus IS350 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Lexus IS350 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Lexus IS350? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Lexus IS350 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 change my IS350's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Lexus IS350 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.
