Lexus Service Intervals – All You Need to Know

Lexus recommends that you take your Lexus vehicle to a Lexus service center every 5000 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first) so that the company’s certified technicians can look at it. Doing this ensures that the car performs as it should in terms of acceleration and fuel economy.

It also means that the vehicle’s life increases and it is able to serve you longer. Following the Lexus maintenance schedule prevents breakdowns no matter how old the car gets. It also increases the resale value of the vehicle in case you want to sell or trade it in.

Lexus Service Intervals and What Needs to Be Done

The following shows you the various Lexus service intervals and some of the highlights of each one – you’ll notice a pattern here.

5,000 Miles or 6 Months
This is the first of the many Lexus maintenance intervals that you’ll encounter and it’ll be covered under LexusCare. You get the usual oil and filter change that ensures that the car runs smoothly, doesn’t overheat, and remains efficient.

Tire rotations are also included which help keep the tires in optimal shape by evenly distributing wear. Your brakes are visually inspected and so are the fluid levels – they’re topped off if they’re not up to standard.
