1998 Lexus GS400 Maintenance

You want your Lexus GS400 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your GS400. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your GS400, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Lexus GS400 maintenance schedule!

Lexus knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 GS400's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Lexus GS400 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Lexus GS400 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your GS400'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 1998 Lexus GS400. 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 GS400 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 GS400 stranded. Your Lexus GS400 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 Lexus GS400 running newer, longer.
