Your 2018 RX350L’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your RX350L in the above table.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 Lexus RX350L

  • What can low oil do to my Lexus RX350L engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Lexus RX350L 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 RX350L oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus RX350L exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lexus RX350L oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Lexus RX350L oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Lexus RX350L to illuminate? Your Lexus RX350L oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my RX350L's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Lexus RX350L during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
