2018 Lexus RX450hL Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Lexus RX450hL, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your RX450hL. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine RX450hL maintenance. Just follow your 2018 Lexus RX450hL maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Lexus, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your RX450hL perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2018 Lexus RX450hL problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2018 Lexus RX450hL for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your RX450hL's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2018 Lexus RX450hL be ready for a new battery? 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). 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Lexus RX450hL battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 RX450hL stranded. Your Lexus RX450hL won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2018 Lexus RX450hL engine. See Lexus's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2018 RX450hL in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2018 Lexus RX450hL.
