How Often to Change 1993 Lexus SC300 Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1993 Lexus SC300? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of 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 1993 SC300’s oil should be changed according to Lexus’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Lexus-recommended oil change intervals, your SC300 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, 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, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus SC300. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Lexus SC300?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Lexus SC300. Lexus has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1993 SC300. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your SC300’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your SC300 by considering your driving style, and odometer.

1993 Lexus SC300 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Lexus SC300? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Lexus SC300 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Lexus SC300 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 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 SC300 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Lexus SC300? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Lexus SC300 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Lexus SC300 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Lexus SC300 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 change my SC300's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Lexus SC300 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
