1996 Lexus GS300 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Lexus GS300 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your GS300. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine GS300 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 Lexus GS300!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Lexus, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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 GS300's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1996 Lexus GS300 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Lexus GS300 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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 GS300'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 GS300. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your GS300 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 GS300 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GS300 stranded. Your Lexus GS300 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 prevent premature wear on your 1996 Lexus GS300 engine.

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 GS300.
