Can Lexus drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Lexus drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Lexus GX460? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Lexus GX460 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my GX460?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your GX460 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the GX460 check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your GX460's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your GX460.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my GX460?

A drivetrain malfunction in your GX460 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my GX460 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your GX460’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your GX460 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2014 Lexus GX460, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Lexus's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
