How often should I come in for Lexus ES250 differential service?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my ES250?

Can my ES250 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your ES250’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your ES250's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Lexus, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Lexus ES250, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Lexus's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
