2009 Lexus GS450h Maintenance

Take care of your Lexus GS450h and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your GS450h. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine GS450h maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 Lexus GS450h!

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your GS450h perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2009 Lexus GS450h problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2009 Lexus GS450h and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GS450h’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 Lexus GS450h. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your GS450h 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 GS450h 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GS450h stranded. Your Lexus GS450h won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
