What Goes into an Oil Change at Lexus of Sarasota

When you come in for a Lexus oil change, one of our certified technicians will bring your vehicle into one of our service bays. We’ll start by draining your old oil out of your engine, and taking off its old oil filter.

Because each engine is designed to run on a particular type and viscosity of oil, we won’t just refill your oil pan with just any type of oil. We’ll use the factory recommended type (or better) of oil that your vehicle requires. We’ll also use a genuine Lexus oil filter to ensure that your oil is filtered according to your engine’s needs.

Once your Lexus oil change is complete, we’ll perform a multi-point inspection to check your vehicle’s health. Lastly, we’ll send a report to your Service Advisor to discuss with you before we send you on your way!

Understanding the Different Types of Oil

Not all oil is the same, and the type of oil that your vehicle uses largely determines how often it needs to be changed. There are three types of oil that can be used on your vehicle. Here are three types of oil that can be used in a Lexus oil change, as well as the average change intervals.

Conventional Oil – 3,000 miles

Synthetic Blend Oil – 5,000 – 7,500 miles

Synthetic Oil – 10,000 miles

Using the right type of oil is vital to provide adequate protection for your engine. For example, conventional oil loses its ability to protect your engine once it reaches about 275ºF, however, oil cooling a turbocharger can reach much higher temperatures, which makes conventional oil incompatible with some engines.
