How often will I need Lexus GS300 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my GS300?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your GS300's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Is my GS300’s transmission part of the drivetrain?
