2012 Lexus GX460 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Lexus GX460 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your GX460. 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 GX460, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Lexus GX460!

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, 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your GX460 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2012 Lexus GX460 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Lexus GX460 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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.

Could your 2012 Lexus GX460 be ready for a new battery? 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall 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 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Lexus GX460 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 GX460. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2012 Lexus GX460.

Maintaining your Lexus GX460 steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.

Without routine Lexus GX460 maintenance, 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.
