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 pops on automatically after around 3,500 to 5,000 miles of Vista travels. While it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your Lexus parts, it does mean that you should start thinking about your 5,000-mile service.

What Service Do I Need?

When your maintenance light pops on, usually it indicates that you need a 5,000-mile service. This includes basic maintenance like:

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

However, you might need other services as well depending on your particular model. Feel free to ask our technicians for advice!

What is the Lexus Maintenance Cost?

While the typical Lexus maintenance cost may range anywhere from $75 to $135, be sure to check your 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 the Lake Elsinore and Fallbrook roads, you’ll need to factor in services like timing belt repairs and ignition tune-ups into the Lexus maintenance cost.
