2000 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 your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle 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. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Lexus SC300 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Lexus SC300 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.
  • Why is my Lexus SC300 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Lexus SC300 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my SC300’s oil filter when changing my oil? 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?
