Lexus recommends having your 2018 Lexus LS500h’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your LS500h may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 Lexus LS500h

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus LS500h? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Lexus LS500h engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Lexus LS500h oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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.
  • Why is my Lexus exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does Lexus LS500h oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Lexus LS500h oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Lexus LS500h oil light comes on? Your Lexus LS500h 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.
  • Do I need to replace my LS500h’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Lexus LS500h 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.
