The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Lexus, your vehicle manufacturer.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2001 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lexus ES300 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty ES300) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lexus ES300 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

See Lexus's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2001 ES300 in the chart at the top of this page.

Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2001 Lexus ES300? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Lexus ES300 suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Lexus ES300? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Lexus ES300 to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Lexus ES300 engines.
  • Can Lexus dashboard warning lights wait? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Lexus ES300, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
