of the required maintenance
indicated in the Owner’s Manual
and this guide. Lexus will not deny
a warranty claim solely because
you do not have records to show
that you maintained your vehicle.
However, any failure or noncompli -
ance caused by lack of maintenance
is not covered by this warranty.
When maintenance and repairs
are paid for by you, these services
may be performed by you or by
any automotive service provider
you choose. Lexus will not deny
a warranty claim solely because
you used a service provider other
than a Lexus dealership for main-
tenance and repairs. However, any
failure or noncompliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs
is not covered by this warranty.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified
intervals. SAE 0W-20 oil is the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 may be used; however, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20
at the next oil change. See your
Lexus dealer for oil specifically
formulated for your vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
replaceable oil-filter element and
oil-filter cap O-ring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions
on how to reset the reminder light,
refer to your Owner’s Manual.
note: If you do the majority of
your driving under any of the
special operating conditions
indicated on page 44, you should
replace the engine oil and oil filter
every six months or 5,000 miles,
regardless of the oil used or the
certification of the vehicle.
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks,
deterioration and damage. Start the
engine and listen carefully for any
exhaust leakage. Tighten connections
and replace parts as necessary. Fuel Lines and Connections,
Fuel Tank Band and Fuel Tank
Vapor Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion,
damage, cracks, and loose or leaking
connections. Tighten connections
and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterio
ration
and damage and replace if necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis
Check that tightness of the seat-
mounting bolts and front/rear
suspension-member retaining bolts
matches torque measurements
specified in the Repair Manual.
Rack-and-Pinion Assembly
Inspect the rack-and-pinion assembly
for signs of leakage, damage and
loose electrical connections. Tighten
connections and if you discover any
leakage or damage, have it repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Road Test
While driving the vehicle, check
for proper operation of engine,
transmission, brakes and steering.
Also check the parking brake, and
check for ab normal noise or vibration
from any part of the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log 71
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as originally
equipped (see your Owner’s Manual).
A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for
excessive freeplay in the steering
wheel. Inspect the linkage for
bending and damage and the dust
boots for deterioration, cracks and
damage. Replace any damaged
parts. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Timing Chain
The timing chain requires no
periodic inspection.
Tire-Pressure Warning Sensors
A tire-pressure sensor is mounted
on each full-size wheel. These
sensors do not require periodic
maintenance. When a sensor’s
long-life lithium battery becomes
discharged, the battery should be
replaced by a qualified technician
following procedures in Lexus
service and repair publications. Tire Rotation
See your Owner’s Manual for tire
rotation requirements. Check tire
pressure and check tires for damage
and uneven wear. If the vehicle is
equipped with a spare tire, check the
condition and pressure of the spare.
Transmission
The transmission and transmission
fluid are a completely sealed unit.
Therefore, periodic checks and
replacement of the transmission

fluid are not required, and there is
no dipstick on the transmission.
Any repairs that require adding or
replacing fluid should be performed
by a qualified technician following
procedures in Lexus service and
repair publications.
Wiper Blades
The wiper blades should not show
any signs of cracking, splitting, wear,
contamination or deformation. The
wiper blades should clear the windshield
without streaking or skipping.
