Keeping up with routine maintenance is an important part of Lexus ownership. When you schedule a Lexus service appointment, the services performed will depend on your vehicle’s model, mileage, maintenance schedule, and current condition. Lexus of Valencia highlights several services and inspections you may encounter during your visit.
Oil and Filter Service
If your Lexus is due for an oil change, a technician can drain the old engine oil, replace it with the appropriate fresh oil, and install a new oil filter. Oil-change intervals vary by vehicle and driving conditions, so consult your Lexus maintenance guide for the schedule that applies to your model.
Hybrid models still have gasoline engines that require appropriate engine maintenance, while all-electric Lexus vehicles don’t require engine oil changes.
Fluid and Multi-Point Checks
Your appointment may also include inspections of applicable fluids and other important vehicle components. Depending on your Lexus and its maintenance schedule, technicians can check fluid levels and look for signs of leaks or other concerns.
A general vehicle inspection can also help identify wear or potential maintenance needs involving components such as belts, hoses, filters, lights, and other systems. If a fluid or component requires additional service, your service advisor can explain the recommended work.
Tire Rotation and Inspection
When called for by your maintenance schedule, rotating your tires can promote more even tread wear and help maximize tire life. Technicians can also inspect tread depth and tire condition and make sure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
Regular tire inspections are especially important because wear patterns or pressure changes can reveal issues that deserve additional attention.
Brake Inspection
Your Lexus braking system should also be inspected regularly for signs of wear. Depending on the scheduled service and your vehicle’s condition, technicians can examine components such as the brake pads and rotors and check for other concerns that could affect braking performance.
If you’ve noticed squealing, vibration, changes in pedal feel, or reduced stopping performance, mention those symptoms when scheduling your appointment.
Battery Inspection
Your vehicle’s 12-volt battery is another component that may be checked during service. Technicians can inspect the battery and its connections for concerns such as corrosion or damage and test its condition when appropriate.
Battery needs vary among gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric Lexus models, so technicians can determine which inspections apply to your particular vehicle.
