Your Guide to 2012 Lexus IS250 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lexus IS250 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your IS250. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your IS250, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2012 Lexus IS250!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Lexus themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 IS250's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2012 Lexus IS250 problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Lexus IS250 Maintenance Needs

Bring your 2012 Lexus IS250 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your IS250. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Lexus IS250. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lexus IS250 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 IS250) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lexus IS250 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Lexus IS250 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 IS250. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 Lexus IS250? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Lexus IS250 steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle.

Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Lexus IS250's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Lexus IS250 maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Lexus IS250? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Lexus IS250 to high mileage oil? If your Lexus IS250 has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  •  Why are my Lexus dashboard lights on? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Lexus IS250, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
