1996 Lexus LS400 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Lexus LS400 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your LS400 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get LS400 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1996 Lexus LS400!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Lexus, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your LS400 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1996 Lexus LS400 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Lexus LS400 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your LS400. 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.

Could your 1996 Lexus LS400 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your LS400 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lexus LS400 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! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Lexus LS400 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Lexus LS400 running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1996 LS400. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1996 Lexus LS400.
