The 2012 Lexus IS 250 is equipped with a 2.5-liter V6 engine that requires 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil for optimal performance in any weather condition. Synthetic oil is a man-made product created using chemical compounds, resulting in fewer impurities compared to conventional oil. The vehicle's oil capacity is 6.7 quarts with a filter for rear-wheel drive (RWD) models and 6.8 quarts with a filter for all-wheel drive (AWD) models, with a drain plug torque specification of 30 ft/lbs. Oil is essential for maintaining a clean and efficiently running engine, providing lubrication to reduce friction among engine components. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles to ensure proper engine maintenance. The typical cost for an oil change ranges between $60 to $80 for labor expenses.
