Introduction; The Importance Of Scheduled Maintenance - Lexus 2015 IS 250C Warranty And Services Manual

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance, safety and reliability
from your Lexus. It can also enhance
your vehicle's resale value. This
section of the Warranty and Services
Guide is designed to help you
make sure your vehicle receives
proper and timely maintenance.
It includes factory-recommended
maintenance guidelines as well as
logs in which to document your
vehicle's maintenance history.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures
are listed on pages 42–43 of this
booklet and described in detail in
the "Maintenance" section of the
Owner's Manual.
It is especially important to check
your vehicle's engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace the
engine oil and oil fi lter. 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.
