MAINTENANCE
EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the level of the engine coolant 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). A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Check the radiator and condenser
for blockage by leaves, dirt or insects
and clean if necessary. Also check
the hose connections for corrosion
and condition of installation.
Note: Initial replacement of engine
coolant 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 every 12 months
or 10,000 miles, or when the oil
maintenance reminder appears,
whichever comes first. SAE 0W-20
oil is the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in cold
weather. If SAE 0W-20 is not
available, SAE 5W-20 may be used;
however, it must be replaced with
SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change.
See your Lexus dealer for oil
specifically formulated for your
vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle is 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.
Note: If you do the majority of your
driving under any of the special
operating conditions indicated on
page 44, you should replace the
engine oil and oil filter every six
months or 5,000 miles, regardless
of the oil used or the certification
of the vehicle.
