Should I check my Lexus LS400 motor oil level?

Can I change my Lexus oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Your 1992 LS400’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lexus LS400.
