It earns its Lexus brand reputation for ultimate performance and uptown charm. The lifespan and performance of your luxury SUV depend on keeping with these schedules. Our brief guide here to Lexus RX 350 service intervals should be accompanied by a review of your service manual, a place for a more specific model, and trim service information.
5,000 Mile Service
The intricate designs of Lexus demand attention, and you’d expect nothing less from a luxury model. An astute certified mechanic should check multiple things at this stage. For example, the vehicle should be road-tested, the Scheduled Maintenance Reminder should be reset, and tire rotations should all be performed at this early stage. Many mechanics also add EFI fuel tank additives at this time (depending on your state). Other visual inspections at 5,000 miles include brake pads, rotors, and calipers.
10,000-Mile Service
Your Lexus is a high-performance model, so your Lexus RX 350 service intervals demand frequent attention to detail. For example, at 10,000 miles, you’ll want your first engine oil and filter replacement.
15,000-Mile Service
Still young and entirely in order, thanks to your tireless attention, at 15,000 miles, your RX 350 needs many inspections. They take very little time for our technicians, as they’re all on the same page and know each component of your vehicle very well. After you’ve gone 15,000 miles with your RX 350, our team will inspect the body/chassis, axle shaft boots, rack-and-pinion assembly, and ball joints and dust covers (among many other components. This is a stage where your Smart Key might also need a quick battery replacement.
30,000-Mile Service
Thirty thousand miles is a critical time for your RX 350. To keep it healthy, it might need another oil change and filter replacement, inspections of the brake rotor thickness and runout, or automatic transmission inspection for fluid leaks. Brake fluid needs replaced at 30,000 miles as well, so don’t forget to get serious about maintenance at this vital stage.
