2000 Lexus GS400 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lexus GS400 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your GS400 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get GS400 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2000 Lexus GS400!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Lexus themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your GS400 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2000 Lexus GS400 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2000 Lexus GS400 and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GS400’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2000 Lexus GS400 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your GS400 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Lexus GS400 battery. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Lexus GS400 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2000 Lexus GS400 engine. See Lexus's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2000 GS400 in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2000 Lexus GS400? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Lexus GS400 steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Lexus GS400 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Lexus GS400's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Lexus GS400 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Lexus GS400’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Lexus GS400? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2000 Lexus GS400 maintenance.
