The following descriptions are provid-
ed to give you a better understanding
of the maintenance services that
should be performed on your vehicle.
The scheduled maintenance log indi-
cates at which time/mileage intervals
each service should be performed.
Please note that many maintenance
services should be performed only
by a qualified technician.
Air Conditioner Filter
Clean or replace at specified inter-
vals. More frequent cleaning or
replacement may be required when
driving in dusty conditions.
Axle Shaft Boots
Check the axle shaft boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration and
damage. Replace any damaged parts
and, if necessary, repack the grease.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations. Ball Joints and Dust Covers
Check the suspension and steering
linkage ball joints for looseness and
damage. Check all dust covers for
deterioration and damage. A qualified
technician should perform these
inspections.
Body Inspection
Visually check for corrosion, scratch-
es and other damage. Check outer
body panels, inner panels of the hood
and doors, and underneath the vehi-
cle. Apply touch-up paint to any chips
and scratches or have them repaired
by a qualified technician.
Brake Fluid
Replace using fluid type specified
in your
Owner’s Manual . A qualified
technician should perform this
operation.
Brake Lines and Hoses
Visually inspect for proper installation.
Check for chafing, cracks, deteriora-
tion and signs of leakage. Replace
any deteriorated or damaged parts.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
For further information on
maintenance services that you
can perform yourself, see the
maintenance sections of your
Owner’s Manual .

Brake Pads/Rotors and
Parking Brake Linings/Drums
Check brake pads and rotors for
excessive wear; check brake rotors
for runout. Check brake calipers for
fluid leakage. Check the parking
brake linings (shoes) and drums for
scoring, burning, fluid leakage, broken
parts and excessive wear. Some mod-
els are equipped with directional
rotors. When servicing these rotors,
reinstall at same location. A qualified
technician should perform these
operations. See inside front cover
for additional brake information.
Drive Belt
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear
and oiliness. Check the belt tension
and adjust if necessary. Replace the
belt if it is damaged.
Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear
and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the engine coolant level on the see-
through reservoir. Add coolant as necessary. When replacing, drain
and flush the cooling system and refill
with coolant. Always use Genuine
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant or
similar high-quality non-silicate, non-
amine, non-borate ethylene-glycol
coolant with long-life hybrid organic
acid technology (i.e., a combination
of low phosphates and organic acids).
A qualified technician should per-
form these operations.
Note:
Initial replacement is at 120
months/100,000 miles. Replace
every 60 months/50,000 miles
thereafter.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified inter-
vals. For recommended oil grade
and viscosity, refer to your Owner’s
Manual . Some models are equipped
with a replaceable oil-filter element
and oil-filter cap O-ring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions on
how to reset the reminder light, refer
to your Owner’s Manual .

Engine Valve Clearance (SC)
Inspect for excessive lifter noise and
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. (All other models are equipped
with hydraulic valve lash adjusters that
require no periodic clearance inspec-
tion or adjustment.)
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks,
deterioration and damage. Start
the engine and listen carefully for
any exhaust leakage. Tighten connec-
tions and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Lines and Connections, Fuel
Tank Band and Fuel Tank Vapor
Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, dam-
age, cracks, and loose or leaking
connections. Tighten connections
and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterio-
ration and damage and replace if
necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis
Check that tightness of the seat-
mounting bolts and front/rear suspen- sion-member retaining bolts matches
torque measurements specified in the
Repair Manual
.
Power Steering Fluid
When inspecting, visually check the
power steering fluid level on the see-
through reservoir. Add fluid as neces-
sary. For fluid specifications, refer to
your Owner's Manual .
Rack and Pinion Assembly
Inspect the rack and pinion assembly
for signs of leakage, damage and
loose electrical connections. Tighten
connections and if you discover any
leakage or damage, have it repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Road Test
While driving the vehicle, check for
proper operation of engine, transmis-
sion, brakes and steering. Also check
for abnormal noise or vibration from
any part of the vehicle.
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. A quali-
fied technician should perform this
operation. To ensure optimum engine
performance on ES 350, replace only
with Denso FK20HR11 plugs or
equivalent.

Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for
excessive freeplay in the steering
wheel. Inspect the linkage for bending
and damage and the dust boots for
deterioration, cracks and damage.
Replace any damaged parts. A quali-
fied technician should perform these
operations.
Timing Belt (SC)
Replace every 90,000 miles or
108 months. A qualified technician
should perform this operation.
Timing Chain (ES, GS, IS, LS)
The ES, GS, IS and LS are equipped
with a timing chain that requires no
periodic inspection.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated according
to the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual . When rotating tires, check
pressure and check for damage and
uneven wear. If the spare is not rotat-
ed, check the condition and pressure
of the spare.
Tire-Pressure Warning Sensors
A tire-pressure sensor is mounted on
each full-size wheel. These sensors
do not require periodic maintenance. When a sensor’s long-life lithium bat-
tery becomes discharged, the battery
should be replaced by a qualified
technician following procedures in
Lexus service and repair publications.
Transfer Case/Transmission
Inspect each transfer case/transmis-
sion component for signs of leakage.
If you discover any leakage, have it
repaired immediately by a qualified
technician.
Note:
The transfer case/transmission
and transmission fluid are a complete-
ly sealed unit. Therefore, periodic
checks and replacement of the trans-
mission fluid are not required, and
there is no dipstick on the transmis-
sion. Any repairs that require adding
or replacing fluid should be per-
formed by a qualified technician fol-
lowing procedures in Lexus service
and repair publications.
