2016 Lexus RC200t Drivetrain Service

Your RC200t drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Lexus, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your RC200t and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Lexus RC200t, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Lexus's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Lexus RC200t Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2016 Lexus RC200t drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your RC200t might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Lexus RC200t.

How much does it cost to fix your 2016 Lexus RC200t drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

2016 Lexus RC200t Drivetrain Questions

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • 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? Noises toward the back of your Lexus RC200t, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need Lexus RC200t differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a RC200t? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your RC200t can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can you reset your RC200t’s malfunction warning light at home? While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your RC200t's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your RC200t.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my RC200t? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your RC200t. 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 RC200t.
  • Is my RC200t’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your RC200t’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your RC200t forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
