When to Change 2021 Lexus RC350 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Lexus RC350’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Lexus recommends changing your 2021 RC350’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your RC350 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lexus RC350. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
