2004 Lexus GX470 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lexus GX470 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your GX470 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your GX470, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2004 Lexus GX470 maintenance schedule!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your GX470's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2004 Lexus GX470 problems.

Bring your 2004 Lexus GX470 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GX470’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2004 Lexus GX470 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your GX470 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 GX470 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 GX470) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lexus GX470 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2004 Lexus GX470 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2004 GX470. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
