#1 of 20 Oil Change for the IS250 AWD by mlg69 Feb 08, 2007 (8:51 am)
Hey Folks, new member of the site although I have been following for quite some time, I have an '07 IS 250 AWD for almost two months, have almost 2K on the odomoter, when should I change the oil? I am averaging prob 90% hiway miles, MPG is impressive, overall about 28MPG, any thoughts?

Replying to: mlg69 (Feb 08, 2007 8:51 am) Manual says 5K miles/6 months. I'll stick to that.

Replying to: mlg69 (Feb 08, 2007 8:51 am) Thanks for the feedback, it seems like a long time to wait, the dealer told me to use premium gas until that first change and then maybe taper off, I do not want to compromise the performance though so may just stick to 93oct.

Replying to: mlg69 (Feb 08, 2007 9:03 am) I wouldn't use any gas that's lower than 91 octain. 5K miles is fine trust me, I had my IS350 for almost a year now and changed oil twice.

Replying to: mlg69 (Feb 08, 2007 8:51 am) Remember, the oil is DINO oil (regular oil ... NOT synthetic)   personally, 5K on REGULAR Dino oil is a little too long (remeber the 'ole every 3,000 miles?)   In our IS 250, I run Synthetic 10w30 or 5w30 and change it every 5K.. RELIGIOUSLY   Then again, that is my .02 and opinion. Any you know what they say about opinions ... they're like .... EVERYONE has one!   Oh and on gas ... USE PREMIUM (here in cali you can only get 91 ... unless you use racing gas which is 100 octane)   Skip

I have my IS250AWD in for the 15K service. Is it advisable to have the oil change by a 3rd party? Replies to this message: ajmtbm (Feb 19, 2007 10:10 am) ar39 (May 17, 2007 12:13 pm)

Replying to: bikertech (Feb 19, 2007 6:35 am) also - do you have to have the entire 5k services done to keep warranty intact, or is it OK to just change the oil? Replies to this message: ar39 (May 17, 2007 12:13 pm)

Replying to: ajmtbm (Feb 19, 2007 10:10 am) Isn't the 5K service free? My dealer did the first service for free.
#10 of 20 Lexus IS250 AWD by kcleuk Jul 13, 2007 (3:13 am)
Hi,   I am planning to buy an IS250 AWD soon and I like to know about the maintenance. Do I just get regular oil and filter change every 6 months?   I want to make sure that I am not paying few hundred bucks for maintenannce each time I do it.   Also, how much does it cost to replace 4 tired when they are worn out? I heard something about at least 1000 for a set of 4 tired?   Please help Replies to this message: ajmtbm (Jul 14, 2007 7:18 am)
