1997 Lexus LS400 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Lexus LS400 to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your LS400 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine LS400 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Lexus LS400!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Lexus themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your LS400 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1997 Lexus LS400 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Lexus LS400 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your LS400's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1997 Lexus LS400 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 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! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty LS400) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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 1997 Lexus LS400 running newer, longer. See Lexus's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 LS400 in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1997 Lexus LS400.

Routine upkeep for your Lexus LS400 suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Lexus LS400 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Lexus LS400's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Lexus LS400 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
