Introduction
Maintenance and Lexus Warranty coverage
MAINTENANCE
40
Maintaining your vehicle according
to the recommendations in this
booklet is required to ensure that your
warranty coverage remains intact.
You should keep detailed records
of vehicle 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 automotive service provider
you choose. Lexus will not deny
a warranty claim solely because
you used a service provider
other than a Lexus dealership
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 maintenance
log. These additional services are not
required to maintain your warranty
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 16–33 of this booklet.

Determining Your
Maintenance Interval:
Months vs. Mileage
Lexus recommends obtaining
scheduled maintenance for your
vehicle every six months or 5,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
For example:
• If at six months you have
driven less than 5,000 miles,
you should obtain mainte -
nance at six months; don’t
wait until 5,000 miles.
• If you drive 5,000 miles in less
than six months, you should
obtain maintenance at 5,000
miles; don’t wait until six months.
Be sure to keep an eye on your
mileage so that you obtain mainte -
nance when recommended. If you
are a low-mileage driver, mark your
calendar to remind yourself to obtain
maintenance every six months.
Special Operating
Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance
items, vehicles that are driven
under special operating conditions
require further maintenance
service. These special operating
conditions, which put added
demands on a vehicle, include:
• Driving on dirt roads or on
dusty roads
•
Repeated trips of less than
five miles in temperatures
below 32° F or 0° C
• Extensive idling and/or
low-speed driving for long
distances, such as police, taxi
or door-to-door delivery use
• Towing. Not all vehicles are
de signed for towing. Please refer
to the Owner’s Manual for details.
if you drive primarily under any
of the conditions noted, you
should replace the engine oil
and oil filter every six months
or 5,000 miles. Some of these
special operating conditions
require other maintenance items;
these items are indicated in each
maintenance chart.

The following descriptions are
provided to give you a better
understanding of the maintenance
services that should be performed
on your vehicle. The scheduled
maintenance log indicates at
which time/mileage intervals each
service should be performed.
Please note that many maintenance
services should be performed
only by a qualified technician.
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, scratches
and other damage. Check outer
body panels, inner panels of the
hood and doors, and underneath the
vehicle. 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, deterioration
and signs of leakage. Replace any
deteriorated or damaged parts. A
qualified technician should perform
these operations.
Brake Pads, Calipers
and Rotors
Check brake pads and rotors for
excessive wear; check brake rotors
for runout. Check brake calipers for
fluid leakage. 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.

MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log 69
Cabin Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals.
More frequent replacement may
be re quired when driving in dusty
conditions, heavy traffic areas,
urban areas, desert areas or dirt
roads. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for service details.
Drive Belt
Inspect for cracks, excessive
wear and oiliness. Check the belt
tension and adjust if necessary.
Replace the belt if it is damaged.
Driver’s Floor Mat • Only use the driver’s floor
mat de signed specifically
for the model and model
year of your vehicle, such as
Lexus Genuine floor mats.
• Always properly secure
the driver’s floor mat using
the retaining hooks.
• Never install another floor
mat on top of the existing
driver’s floor mat.
• Never install the driver’s
floor mat upside down. Engine Air Filter
Check for excessive dirt, damage
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 the cooling system and refill
with coolant. Always use Genuine
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant
or similar high-quality non-silicate,
non-amine, non-nitrate, non-borate
ethylene-glycol coolant with long-life
hybrid organic acid technology
(i.e., a combination of low phosphates
and organic acids). Check that the
radiator is not blocked with leaves,
dirt or insects and clean if necessary.
Also check the hose connection
for cor rosion and condition of
installation. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
n ote: Initial replacement is at
120 months/100,000 miles.
Replace every 60 months/50,000
miles thereafter.

Scheduled Maintenance Log 71
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as originally
equipped (see your Owner’s Manual).
A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
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 qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Timing Chain
The timing chain requires no
periodic inspection.
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 battery becomes
discharged, the battery should be
replaced by a qualified technician
following procedures in Lexus
service and repair publications. Tire Rotation
See your Owner’s Manual for tire
rotation requirements. Check tire
pressure and check tires for damage
and uneven wear. If the vehicle is
equipped with a spare tire, check the
condition and pressure of the spare.
Transmission
The transmission and transmission
fluid are a completely sealed unit.
Therefore, periodic checks and
replacement of the transmission

fluid are not required, and there is
no dipstick on the transmission.
Any repairs that require adding or
replacing fluid should be performed
by a qualified technician following
procedures in Lexus service and
repair publications.
Wiper Blades
The wiper blades should not show
any signs of cracking, splitting, wear,
contamination or deformation. The
wiper blades should clear the windshield
without streaking or skipping.
