engine Air filter
Check for excessive dirt, damage
and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the engine coolant level on the see-
through reservoir. Add coolant as
necessary. When replacing, drain
the cooling system 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 technology (i.e., a
combination of low phosphates and
organic acids). A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
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 is at
120 months/100,000 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
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.
