The 2012 Lexus IS 250 has a 2.5 L V6 engine that needs 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil in all temperatures. The difference between synthetic and conventional is that synthetic is man made using chemical compounds and contains fewer contaminants then conventional. The capacity for the vehicle iS6.7 quarts with a filter for the RWD and 6.8 quarts with a filter for the AWD and the drain plug uses a torque of 30 ft/lbs. Oil will be uses to help keep the engine clean and running smoothly and for lubrication to help with friction for engine parts. The oil doesn't last forever so You should change it and the filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or so. The cost of an oil change is between $60 to $80 in labor costs.
