2011 Lexus GX460 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Lexus GX460, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your GX460 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine GX460 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2011 Lexus GX460!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Lexus themselves. 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your GX460 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2011 Lexus GX460 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2011 Lexus GX460 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 GX460’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2011 Lexus GX460? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 GX460 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty GX460) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lexus GX460 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2011 Lexus GX460.
