In 2014, the recommended oil for the Lexus IS250 is 0w-20, but there can be issues with this oil type over time. A common problem to watch out for is a strong burning smell, which could indicate an urgent issue that needs to be addressed promptly to avoid potential dangers such as engine explosions. Inadequate or deteriorating oil can lead to engine failure and cause knocking noises as well as result in poor gas mileage. It is crucial to use high-quality oil to ensure the engine runs smoothly, and it is essential to change the oil periodically, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to replace the oil can lead to serious engine problems.
