Why does the check engine light in my GX460 turn on when I start my car?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your GX460 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Lexus GX460 making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Lexus GX460 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Lexus GX460 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I add water to my Lexus GX460 radiator?

Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my GX460 to suddenly stop?

If your GX460 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
