MAINTENANCE BASICS
MAINTENANCE IS
ESSENTIAL
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.
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.
Lexus recommends having mainte-
nance for your vehicle performed by
an authorized Lexus dealership. To
locate your nearest authorized Lexus
dealership, contact Lexus Customer
Satisfaction at (800)255-3987 or
visit www.lexus.com.
DETERMINING YOUR
MAINTENANCE
INTERVAL: MONTHS
VS. MILEAGE
Lexus recommends obtaining
maintenance for your vehicle every
six months or 5,000 miles, whichever
comes first.
For example:
• If at six months you have driven
less than 5,000 miles, you
should obtain maintenance 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 mile-
age so that you obtain maintenance
when recommended. If you are a low-
mileage driver, mark your calendar
to remind yourself to obtain mainte-
nance every six months.
