What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 Lexus LC500

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LC500's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Lexus, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 Lexus LC500, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Lexus's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
