Determining Your
Maintenance Interval:
Months vs. Mileage
Lexus recommends obtaining sched-
uled maintenance for your vehicle
every six months or 5,000 miles,
whichever occurs 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
mileage so that you obtain mainte-
nance when recommended. If you
are a low-mileage driver, mark your
calendar to remind yourself to obtain
maintenance every six months.
Special Operating
Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance
items, vehicles that are driven
under special operating conditions
require further maintenance service.
These special operating conditions,
which put added demands on a
vehicle, include:
•
Driving on dirt roads or on
dusty roads
• Repeated trips of less than five
miles in temperatures below
32° F or 0° C
• Extensive idling and/or low-
speed driving for long distances,
such as police, taxi or door-to-
door delivery use
If you drive primarily under any
of the conditions noted, you
should replace the engine oil
and oil filter every six months
or 5,000 miles.
Some of these
special operating conditions
require other maintenance items;
these items are indicated in each
maintenance chart.
