Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Lexus LX450

Bring your 1996 Lexus LX450 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your LX450’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1996 Lexus LX450? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your LX450 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Lexus LX450 battery. 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 LX450 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 LX450 running newer, longer. To learn how often Lexus recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 LX450, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 Lexus LX450? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Lexus LX450 can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Lexus LX450 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Lexus LX450's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Lexus LX450 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Lexus LX450’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Lexus LX450? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too.
