Oil Change Q&A for Your 2021 Lexus RX450hL

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus RX450hL? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your RX450hL’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Lexus RX450hL oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Lexus exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is 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, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Lexus RX450hL oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Lexus RX450hL 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 RX450hL to illuminate? Your Lexus RX450hL oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my RX450hL’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Lexus RX450hL 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.
