Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus IS350?

Can I change my Lexus oil on my own?

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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Lexus IS350 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Lexus IS350?

You should replace your Lexus IS350 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
