Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1997 Lexus SC400? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Lexus recommends changing your 1997 SC400’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SC400 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your SC400 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Lexus recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Lexus SC400. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
