Introduction
it is especially important to check
your vehicle's engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace
the engine oil and oil filter. Failure
to do so can cause oil starvation
and/or oil gelling, which can result
in severe damage to your vehicle
and require costly repairs that are
not covered by the new vehicle
Limited Warranty.
With proper maintenance and
care, your vehicle will last longer
and deliver 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.
