Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty RX350) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Lexus RX350 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Lexus RX350? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Lexus RX350 to high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Lexus RX350? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Lexus? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Lexus RX350, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
