When to Change 2001 Lexus RX300 Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Lexus RX300’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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 2001 RX300’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your RX300 in the above table. Outside of Lexus-recommended oil change intervals, your RX300 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lexus recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lexus RX300. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
