When to Change 2012 Lexus LFA Engine Oil

Need more info about 2012 Lexus LFA oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2012 LFA’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your LFA may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lexus recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lexus LFA. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2012 Lexus LFA Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus LFA? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Lexus LFA engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lexus LFA 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus LFA spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lexus LFA oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Lexus LFA oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Lexus LFA oil light illuminated? Your Lexus LFA oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my LFA's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Lexus LFA, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
