What Does the Lexus Maintenance Required Light Mean?

If you’ve noticed a new symbol glowing on your dashboard, you might be wondering just what the Lexus Maintenance Required light means and what you should do about it. The Lexus Maintenance Required light is a reminder for drivers that automatically illuminates after approximately 3,500 to 5,000 miles of travel in Wallingford. While it doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong with your Lexus parts, it does mean you should start thinking about your 5,000-mile service. Find out more about the Lexus Maintenance Required light and how to reset the Lexus maintenance light below with Crabtree Lexus of New Haven.

What Service Do I Need?

When your maintenance light pops on, it usually indicates that you need a 5,000-mile service, including:

• Engine oil change
• Filter change
• Tire rotation
• Multi-point inspection
• Fluid inspection
• Fluid adjustment

However, you may also require additional services, depending on your specific model. Feel free to ask our technicians for advice.

What Is the Lexus Maintenance Cost?

The typical Lexus maintenance cost may range anywhere from $75 to $135, but fluctuations in international trade may cause these prices to rise. Before scheduling service, though, be sure to check your new vehicle warranty. Your new Lexus vehicle includes complimentary maintenance for your first and second scheduled maintenance services, usually at 6 months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles. But keep in mind that after many miles down New Haven roads, you’ll need to factor in services like timing belt repairs and ignition tune-ups into the Lexus maintenance cost.
