Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Lexus recommends performing the follow-
ing maintenance:
Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified
intervals according to the maintenance schedule.
For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the
“Lexus Service Booklet” or “Lexus Warranty Booklet”.
Do-it-yourself maintenance
What about do-it-yourself maintenance?

that repairs and maintenance be conducted by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional. Any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer will keep a
