How often should I change the oil in my 2012 Lexus LS 460?
Follow the oil-change interval specified in your 2012 Lexus LS 460 owner’s manual.
Lexus publishes the official maintenance interval for your engine; adhering to that schedule helps protect engine longevity and warranty eligibility.

Always choose an oil that meets Lexus OEM specifications in your owner’s manual. Our team will confirm the correct grade and quality for your engine.
