2008 Lexus RX400h Maintenance

Take care of your Lexus RX400h and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your RX400h. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your RX400h, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2008 Lexus RX400h!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Lexus themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your RX400h running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2008 Lexus RX400h problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Lexus RX400h and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your RX400h. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2008 Lexus RX400h? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 RX400h battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Lexus RX400h won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2008 Lexus RX400h engine. See Lexus's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 RX400h in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2008 Lexus RX400h.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.

If you fall behind on routine Lexus RX400h maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
