Lexus recommends changing your 1998 LS400’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1998 Lexus LS400

  • Should I check my Lexus LS400 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Lexus LS400 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces 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 LS400 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lexus LS400 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Lexus LS400 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my Lexus LS400 oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Lexus LS400 oil change reminder light.
