06 is250 rwd is at 42000 miles.
So I was driving home last night when the low oil light briefly flash, I quickly pulled over the the closest petrol station, turn it off n checked the dip stick to see how much oil was left, and to my shock there was minimal oil !!!
I manage to get some oil at the petrol station and filled it up, but is there any known reasons why it might be low? I checked underneath the car to see if there are any leaks but there was nothing, nothing on the garage floor nor the exhaust tips.
It is a due for an oil change, so guess I'll be doing that over the weekend....
Going to be changing the spark plugs and running through some seafoam as well, anyone know which vac hose to use? and I guess i should do it before the oil change? lol
Thanks for the help =)

I tried looking through to the bottom plastics when I had the bonnet up but nothing seems out of place, checked around the harmonic balancer n pullys n stuff but couldnt see anything leaking :S

You should know that when the engine running (or just turn off) Some oil still on the head of the car so dipstick is not correct at that time. The only good and accurate way to check oil level via dipstick is when the engine cool
Now you should recheck your oil level again especially in the morning. Someone correct me if i were wrong
Oil level indicator light flashing could be a sign of oil bump failure.

theres a TSIB for pistons.. the rings are causing lots of oil to get through the rings into the combustion chamber and causing misfire codes and also causes oil consumption.. very common.. most is250 are doing it.. go to the dealer its warranteed. message me if you need help.
are the used cars covered by lexus or did i have to buy it new?
