Optimizing Your Lexus for Performance: A Service Checklist

Protect Your Engine With Routine Tune-Ups

The engine in your Lexus is a finely engineered work of art. As long as you look after it, you’ll enjoy exhilarating power and acceleration whenever you please. But as with any complex piece of machinery, slight wear and tear can set in. You can combat this and keep your engine in tip-top shape with regular tune-ups; once or twice a year is ideal.

Keep the Motor Oil and Coolant Fresh 

The motor oil you use must be of the finest quality and always refreshed before it begins to deteriorate. Otherwise, the engine will lack proper lubrication, which accelerates wear and tear. The coolant is equally important, preventing the engine from overheating. 

You’ll need to change the oil twice a year or more. The coolant requires regular checks but typically only needs to be flushed every four years or so.

Monitor and Flush All Vital Vehicle Fluids

The brakes, transmission, differentials, power steering, and windshield wipers all depend on their respective fluids to function properly. With this in mind, check the level and condition of each fluid frequently, and top them up or refresh them in a timely manner.

Maintain Your Brakes With Regular Inspections

Your brakes also require regular inspections, which allow our technicians to identify worn-out brake pads or rotors and replace them, along with checking the fluid and lines for leaks. Twice a year is typically a good interval for this. 

Rotate Your Tires and Monitor Air Pressure

Keep your driving smooth, quiet, and safe by maintaining proper air pressure. It’s advisable to check the PSI inside each tire monthly. Your tires should also be rotated every six months and occasionally realigned. 

Test Your Headlights and Taillights

The external lights of your Lexus are powerful and long-lasting, ensuring strong visibility after dark. Still, a safety-conscious driver should check all external lights once a month, removing any bulbs that start to fade.

Frequently Wash and Wax the Bodywork 

Lexus cars are exceptionally attractive vehicles. Regularly cleaning and waxing your luxury car not only maintains these good looks but also prevents corrosion from building and motivates you to upkeep every other aspect of your car.
