How Often to Change 2016 Lexus RC F Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2016 Lexus RC F? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Lexus recommends having your 2016 Lexus RC F’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your RC F in the above table. Your RC F may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess 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, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Lexus RC F. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Lexus RC F Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2016 Lexus RC F motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Lexus has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2016 Lexus RC F vehicles. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your RC F's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your RC F by considering your driving style, and odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2016 Lexus RC F

  • Should I check my Lexus RC F motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Lexus RC F engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lexus RC F oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus RC F exhaust smoke grayish or blue? 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 RC F oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Lexus RC F oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Lexus RC F oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Lexus RC F oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my RC F's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Lexus RC F 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.
