EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine and Inverter Coolants
When inspecting, visually check the
engine and inverter coolant levels
on the see-through reservoirs. Add
coolant as necessary. When replac-
ing, drain the cooling systems and
refill with coolant. Always use
Genuine Toyota Super Long-Life
Coolant or similar high-quality non-
silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate, non-
borate ethylene-glycol coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technol-
ogy (i.e., a combination of low phos-
phates and organic acids). A qualified
technician should perform these
operations. Please refer to the
important safety precautions on the
inside front cover of this booket.
Check the radiator and condenser
for blockage by leaves, dirt or insects
and clean if necessary. Also check
the hose connections for corrosion
and condition of installation.
Note: Initial replacement of engine
coolant is at 120 months/100,000
miles. Replace every 60 months/
50,000 miles thereafter. Initial
replacement of inverter coolant
is at 180 months/150,000 miles.
Replace every 60 months/50,000
miles thereafter.

Scheduled Maintenance Log
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified inter-
vals. 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. 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 oper-
ating 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 connec-
tions and replace parts as necessary.
