When you purchase a Lexus, you’re purchasing luxury, so you want to ensure you maintain your car as well as you can to preserve that luxurious quality. These car maintenance tips for Lexus owners can help you keep your vehicle in top shape.
Follow Manufacturer Recommendations
Your car’s manufacturer has developed maintenance recommendations that are designed to keep your Lexus running safely and efficiently.
Getting preventative maintenance services like oil changes, brake inspections, air filter inspections, tire rotations, battery checks, and others is the single best thing you can do to take care of your Lexus. Fortunately, all of these services can quickly be scheduled at your Lexus dealership.
Perform Your Own Maintenance
Even if you’re diligent about scheduling your regular maintenance appointments, that’s not all you can do to make sure your Lexus stays in top form. Between appointments, you can check your car’s fluids to ensure they are at the proper levels and that there are no leaks. The fluids in any vehicle that should be checked regularly are the antifreeze, power-steering fluid, oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid.
Check Your Tires
Since your tires are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road, you need to pay attention to them to ensure your car remains safe to drive. Every so often, between regular maintenance appointments, inspect your tires for damage or wear. Look at the treads to see if they can still grip the road, even in adverse weather conditions. Finally, keep your tires inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended level.
How Can I Increase The Longevity Of My Car?
Believe it or not, the way you drive has an impact on how long your car will last. Your Lexus is an incredible machine, but if your driving habits are poor, even a Lexus will wear down more quickly than it should. To preserve your car, consider implementing the following driving habits.
- Allow your car to warm up before you drive it
- Do not tow or haul heavy loads
- Do not hit potholes (if at all possible)
- Do not accelerate suddenly
- Do not slam on your brakes frequently
- Allow your car to completely stop before putting it in reverse
Wash It
While keeping your car clean will not affect its performance, it’s still a part of maintenance that will help your Lexus retain its resale value. Taking care of your car’s exterior by washing it frequently will ensure the surface does not become scratched with lingering dirt and dust. Always wash off anything spilled on your car’s paint immediately to protect the finish.
