The 2015 Lexus IS250 recommends using 0W-20 oil for the best mix of fuel efficiency and cold start reliability. If necessary, you can temporarily switch to 5W-20, but it's best to switch back to 0W-20 at your next oil change. Opt for fully synthetic or blended synthetic oil for your Lexus IS as traditional oil lacks the beneficial additives found in synthetics that help maintain engine health. When getting an oil change, make sure to add 6.8 quarts of oil, and aim to have changes done every 10,000 miles. The recommended torque for the oil drain plug on the IS250 is 30 pound-feet, providing a good margin of error, but take care not to over-tighten it.
