Determining the Proper Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain
maintenance for your Lexus every 5,000 miles or every
7,500 miles. Follow these guidelines to determine
which interval to use.
5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5,000-mile intervals if you
primarily
operate your
vehicle under any of the following conditions:
°
Extensive driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
°
Towing a trailer or using a camper or car-top
carrier.
°
Repeated trips of less than five miles in
temperatures below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7,500-mile intervals if you
primarily
operate your
vehicle under conditions other than those listed above.
Note:
If you drive your vehicle under any of the special
operating conditions noted on the next page, you may
need to perform specific services at 5,000-mile inter-
vals. See the 5,000-mile maintenance charts for details.
Engine-Oil Replacement Reminder Light
Your vehicle is equipped with a dashboard light to
remind you when the engine oil needs to be replaced.
The light is amber and labeled “MAINT REQD.”
When you turn the ignition key to the “ON” position,
the light will illuminate for about three seconds to
indicate that the reminder system is working properly.
After you have driven 5,000 miles since the vehicle’s
last oil change, the light will illuminate for about three
seconds and then flash for another 12 seconds when
you turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. If you
use 5,000-mile maintenance intervals, you should re-
place the engine oil at your earliest opportunity once
the light starts flashing.
After you have driven 7,500 miles since the vehicle’s
last oil change, the light will remain illuminated when
you turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. When
this occurs, you should replace the engine oil as soon
as possible, regardless of which maintenance interval
you use.

Owner’s Manual
