THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

41

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. This section 
of the 

Warranty and Services Guide

is designed to help you make sure
your vehicle receives proper and
timely maintenance. It includes 
factory-recommended maintenance
guidelines as well as logs in which to
document your vehicle’s maintenance
history.

In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general 

maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures
are listed on pages 44–45 of this
booklet and described in detail in 
the “Maintenance” section of the

Owner’s Manual

.

With proper maintenance and care,
your vehicle will last longer and deliv-
er more dependable, economical
performance. Follow this booklet’s
recommendations and you’ll enjoy
maximum reliability and peace of
mind from your Lexus for many years
to come.
