Your ES300h’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Lexus, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your ES300h and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2022 Lexus ES300h to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Lexus's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
