You want your Lexus GS300 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your GS300 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

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

Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your GS300 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2005 Lexus GS300 problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Lexus GS300 Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 2005 Lexus GS300 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GS300’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 Lexus GS300? In general, car batteries only last three to 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 GS300 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, 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.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2005 Lexus GS300 running newer, longer. To learn how often Lexus recommends you have the oil changed in your 2005 GS300, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2005 Lexus GS300.

Routine upkeep for your Lexus GS300 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. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Lexus GS300 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Lexus GS300's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Lexus GS300 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Lexus GS300’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
