When should I come in for Lexus RC F differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Can my RC F malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your RC F’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 serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my RC F?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your RC F. 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 RC F.

Does my RC F transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your RC F includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your RC F forward.
