1998 Lexus ES300 Maintenance

You want your Lexus ES300 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your ES300, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Lexus ES300 maintenance schedule!

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Lexus ES300 problems later.

Bring your 1998 Lexus ES300 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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.

Could your 1998 Lexus ES300 be ready for a new battery? 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lexus ES300 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your ES300 stranded. Your Lexus ES300 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1998 Lexus ES300's engine run smoother.
