What to Know About 1996 Lexus ES300 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Lexus ES300 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your ES300. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get ES300 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1996 Lexus ES300!

Lexus knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your ES300's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 Lexus ES300 problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Lexus ES300

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Lexus ES300 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your ES300's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Lexus ES300. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your ES300 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Lexus ES300 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty ES300) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lexus ES300 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1996 Lexus ES300 engine. To learn how often Lexus recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 ES300, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1996 Lexus ES300.

Routine upkeep for your Lexus ES300 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Lexus ES300? You know your Lexus ES300 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.

  • When should I switch my Lexus ES300 to high mileage oil? If your Lexus ES300 has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
