How Often to Get 2020 Lexus RX450h Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2020 Lexus RX450h? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about 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 2020 Lexus RX450h’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your RX450h may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of 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. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Lexus RX450h. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2020 Lexus RX450h

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus RX450h? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your RX450h’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Lexus RX450h oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. 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 old cylinder walls.

  • What does it mean if my Lexus RX450h oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Lexus RX450h 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.
  • Do I need to replace my RX450h’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Lexus RX450h every time you change the oil.
