How Often to Change 2016 Lexus RX450h Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2016 Lexus RX450h? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.

Your 2016 RX450h’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your RX450h in the above table. Outside of Lexus-recommended oil change intervals, your RX450h may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus RX450h. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2016 Lexus RX450h Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus RX450h? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Lexus RX450h engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Lexus RX450h oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus RX450h exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Lexus RX450h oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Lexus RX450h oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Lexus RX450h to illuminate? Your Lexus RX450h 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.
  • Do I need to change my RX450h's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Lexus RX450h 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.
