Maintenance and care
Maintenance requirements
Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance schedule.
For full details of your maintenance schedule, refer to the “Lexus Service
Booklet” or “Lexus Warranty Booklet”.
What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechani-
cal ability and a few basic automotive tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified technicians. Even if you’re an experi-
enced do-it-yourself mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance
be conducted by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional. Any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer will
keep a record of maintenance, which could be useful should you ever require
Warranty Service. Should you choose to select a qualified and equipped pro-
fessional other than an authorized Lexus repairer to service or maintain your
vehicle, we recommend that you request that a record of maintenance be kept.
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Lexus recommends the following mainte-
