Introduction
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
39
Regular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of per-
formance, safety and reliability from
your Lexus. It can also enhance your
vehicle’s resale value. This section
of the Warranty and Services Guide
is designed to help you make sure
your vehicle receives proper and
timely maintenance. It includes
factory-recommended maintenance
guidelines as well as logs in which to
document your vehicle’s maintenance
history.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures
are listed on pages 42–43 of this
booklet and described in detail in
the “Maintenance” section of the
Owner’s Manual.
It is especially important to check
your vehicle’s engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace the
engine oil and oil filter. Failure to do
so can cause oil starvation and/or oil
gelling, which can result in severe
damage to your vehicle and require
costly repairs that are not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
With proper maintenance and care,
your vehicle will last longer and deliv-
er more dependable, economical
performance. Follow this booklet’s
recommendations and you’ll enjoy
maximum reliability and peace of
mind from your Lexus for many years
to come.

Introduction
MAINTENANCE AND LEXUS WARRANTY COVERAGE
MAINTENANCE
40
Maintaining your vehicle according to
the recommendations in this booklet
is required to ensure that your war-
ranty coverage remains intact. You
should keep detailed records of vehi-
cle maintenance, including date of
service, mileage at time of service
and a description of service and/or
parts installation performed. The
maintenance logs in this booklet are a
good place to record this information.
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to give
your maintenance records to the new
owner.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintained
your vehicle. However, damage or
failures caused by lack of proper
maintenance are not covered under
warranty.
Maintenance and repair services may
be performed by you or by any auto-
motive service provider you choose.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you used a service
provider other than a Lexus dealer-
ship for maintenance and repairs.
However, damage or failures caused
by improper maintenance or repairs
are not covered under warranty.
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than
those listed in the scheduled mainte-
nance log. These additional services
are not required to maintain your war-
ranty coverage. Ask your dealer for
an explanation of any recommended
maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of
Lexus warranty coverages, see
pages 1 6–33 of this booklet.
