The sporty and luxurious Lexus NX 300 is a pleasure to drive. To ensure it’s a pleasure every time you’re behind the wheel, caring for it is important. Regular maintenance will need to be performed to keep the car in great shape.

The Lexus of Larchmont service center professionals are here to handle that necessary maintenance. This Lexus NX 300 maintenance schedule is provided for you, so you know what to expect from your NX 300. If you’re driving the roads of Larchmont, New Rochelle and Yonkers, consult this guide. Let’s take a closer look at what maintenance is needed and when it should be taken care of. Schedule a service appointment today.

Every 5,000 Miles

This first official service of your Lexus NX 300 will come from our experienced and trained technicians.

• A road test will take place to ensure the vehicle is working as it should, and everything feels the way it should feel.
• Tire rotation is the next step. Rotating tires ensures proper wear and tear of the tires as the car continues to tack on the miles.
• Fluid levels should also be checked and adjusted. This includes windshield washer fluid, antifreeze, and brake fluid.
• We’ll also look at the wiper blades and replace them if they’re no longer functioning.

Every 10,000 Miles

• It’s time to replace the cabin air filter. If the air doesn’t seem to be flowing properly when the A/C or heat is on, or an odor is coming from the vents, this likely means a new air filter will be needed.
• An oil change will also be completed at this point. An oil change keeps the engine lubricated and allows it to fire up properly, so you can drive without concern.

Every 15,000 Miles

Tires will be rotated again, along with balancing the tires if necessary. We’ll also inspect:

• The body
• Dust covers and ball joints
• Hoses and brake lines
• Engine coolant

If your smart key doesn’t seem to respond the way it once did, the battery will be replaced.

Every 40,000 Miles

Some of the previously mentioned items will be taken care of once more, such as an oil change, cabin air filter replacement, wiper blade inspection, and tire rotation.

• Spark plug maintenance is as important as oil changes, and they should be replaced at 40,000 miles. Spark plug changes are one way to make sure your Lexus NX 300 fires up properly and the engine starts at it should.

Why Do I Need an Oil Change?

Changing the oil is an important maintenance service, best handled by the experienced Lexus service technicians at our dealership. Why do you need an oil change, though? What happens if you don’t get an oil change?

• Well, the engine parts need to be lubricated. A lack of lubrication can lead to engine damage because the parts have to work harder.
• Clean oil also helps keep the engine running efficiently. If you don’t change the oil, and don’t add coolant, it can lead to the engine overheating.

It helps to check your Lexus NX 300 engine oil at home every month. It should be amber in color, and your dipstick should provide a reading that lets you know there’s enough oil. If there isn’t, or the oil has turned dark, let us know, and we’ll provide an oil change.

Getting a Tire Rotation

Rotating the tires regularly allows our service technicians to check them over for any damage, add air if needed, and have them rebalanced if there has been any vibration while driving. We’ll also check tread depth to ensure the tires can properly grip the road.

By routinely rotating the tires, wear and tear is spread evenly across all of the tires, maximizing tread life in the process. Fresh tires should be rotated by the 5,000-mile mark because fresh tire tread is actually more vulnerable to uneven wear.
