Can Lexus service save me money?

How do I know if my Lexus drivetrain is damaged?

Your Lexus RC350 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 RC350 differential service?

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

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a RC350?

Can my RC350 malfunction warning light be reset 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 RC350's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my RC350?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your RC350. 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 RC350.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my RC350?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your RC350’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your RC350 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Lexus RC350, 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.
