Can Lexus service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Lexus drivetrain system?

Your Lexus NX300h drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Lexus NX300h differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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 causes a NX300h’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your NX300h has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the NX300h check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my NX300h serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your NX300h. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your NX300h.

Does my NX300h transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your NX300h’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your NX300h forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Lexus NX300h

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your NX300h's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your NX300h’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2018 Lexus NX300h to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Lexus's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Lexus NX300h Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2018 Lexus NX300h drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your NX300h might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Lexus NX300h doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2018 Lexus NX300h? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
