Can Lexus drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

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

How do I know if my Lexus drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Lexus RC350? 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 RC350 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 RC350?

If your RC350 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 reset your RC350’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 RC350'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 RC350.

How concerning is 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.

Does my RC350 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2019 Lexus RC350

Your RC350 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Lexus, from back to front. It’s one of your RC350’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 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.
