What is the maintenance interval for Lexus?
2 Answers
Lexus requires the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers or six months. 1. The first maintenance is free at 4S dealerships, primarily involving an oil change and oil filter replacement. 2. Lexus models have a maintenance interval of 10,000 kilometers per service. Lexus officially provides four years or 100,000 kilometers of free maintenance for gasoline vehicles, while hybrid vehicles enjoy an even greater benefit with six years or 150,000 kilometers of free maintenance. Additional Information: 1. How to extend the lifespan of your car: When a new car leaves the factory, its components have not yet fully integrated. During the initial driving period, as the moving parts of the car have not been broken in, it is essential to use the vehicle cautiously to avoid exacerbating component wear. The break-in period allows the engine parts to smoothly adapt to each other, and a proper break-in can also extend the vehicle's service life. 2. How to maintain your car: It is recommended to follow a maintenance cycle of every 10,000 kilometers. Each maintenance should include an oil change and oil filter replacement. Brake pads and cabin air filters should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers, brake fluid and engine air filters every 40,000 kilometers, fuel filters every 80,000 kilometers, and spark plugs every 100,000 kilometers.
I've been driving a Lexus for several years now. According to the official recommendations, a comprehensive service should be done every 6 months or every 10,000 kilometers. I usually schedule mine based on time since I don't drive much. I booked my appointment six months in advance to avoid any delays. During maintenance, they mainly change the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter, and check the brakes and tires. I delayed it once, and the engine noise became louder. The mechanic found that the engine oil had aged and there was a lot of carbon buildup, which cost me extra to fix. So, timing is crucial. Don't forget regional factors: in colder northern areas, the air filter wears out faster and needs to be replaced more frequently. In short, making it a habit keeps the car running as smoothly as new.
