Proper Lexus service is important for maintaining your engine’s health. In addition to addressing performance problems, our Lexus of Jacksonville team can extend the life of your engine with maintenance and service. As part of our Lexus Service Tips series, here’s what you can do to keep your powertrain running smoothly.
Oil Changes
Keeping up with your oil change schedule is an easy way to improve your engine’s performance and durability. Fresh oil ensures that your engine is properly lubricated and cooled during operation. We recommend getting an oil change every six months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Air Filter Changes
To run properly, an engine needs clean air filters to protect it from dirt particles. As air filters naturally gather dirt and dust over time, you need to replace them to keep your engine clean and tidy.
Use Genuine Parts
Aftermarket engine parts can create serious problems for your engine. We recommend only installing genuine Lexus parts in your engine compartment. These parts are designed to work alongside each other, letting you maintain peak performance.
Address Strange Noises
Do you notice a strange noise coming from your engine when you accelerate, or even when your foot is off the pedal? Bring your vehicle in for service immediately, as it could indicate a misaligned or malfunctioning part.
Drive Smoothly
Bad driving habits can negatively impact your engine’s performance and lifespan. Make sure you accelerate and brake smoothly, avoid revving your engine unnecessarily, and maintain a steady speed on the road.
