Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus NX300?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Lexus NX300 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 NX300 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Lexus NX300 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2021 NX300’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your NX300 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your NX300 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Lexus if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus NX300. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
