Can Lexus service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Lexus drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Lexus NX300? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Lexus NX300 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a NX300?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your NX300’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the NX300 check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your NX300’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my NX300?

A drivetrain malfunction in your NX300 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my NX300 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your NX300’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your NX300 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
