Overview of Essential Lexus RX350 Maintenance Needs
Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Lexus RX350
and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.
This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment.
During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your RX350’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2012 Lexus RX350?
If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).
Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your RX350 may need a replacement battery sooner.
Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Lexus RX350 battery.
It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak.
Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your RX350 stranded.
Your Lexus RX350 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can
support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Lexus RX350 running newer, longer.
See Lexus's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2012 RX350 in the chart at the top of this page.
Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval.
Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil.
We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 Lexus RX350.

What should I do after hitting 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?
If your Lexus RX350 has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
Why are my Lexus dashboard lights on?
Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Lexus RX350 to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
