Lexus follows Toyota's service rhythm: oil and filter every 10,000 miles or 12 months with 0W-20 synthetic, plus an interim 5,000-mile visit for tire rotation and inspection. Hybrid models (UX 250h, NX 350h, RX 350h/450h+) add long-interval hybrid-specific items — inverter coolant and hybrid-battery cooling-duct checks — while shedding brake wear thanks to regeneration. Modern Lexus engines are chain-driven; there is no timing-belt service on these models.
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
Campaign #25V577000 · Apr 9, 2025
Issue: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023-2025 bZ4X, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterra vehicles. During certain HVAC system faults, such as electrical compressor failure, the defroster and defogger system may become inoperative.
Risk: An inoperative defroster and defogger system can decrease the driver's visibility under certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will update the HVAC control ECU software, free of charge. Dealers will also inspect the electrical compressor, and replace it, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 17, 2025. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 25TB07 and 25TA07. Lexus' numbers for this recall are 25LB04 and 25LA04. Subaru's number for this recall is WRD-25.
BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
Campaign #25V744000 · Oct 30, 2025
Issue: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru Solterra vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. A software error may cause the rearview camera to freeze or display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Risk: A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will update the parking assist software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 25TB13 and 25LB06. Subaru's number for this recall is WRE25.
Critical for safety and preventing major damage
Replace every 10,000 miles or 12 months with 0W-20 full synthetic. Severe service (repeated short trips, extensive idling, dirt roads): 5,000 miles per the Lexus guide.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$120–$160
Shop
~$85–$115
DIY
~$25–$55
Full synthetic costs more than conventional. 5-quart 0W-20 + filter is the typical bill.
Rotate every 5,000 miles — the interim Lexus service visit. Heavy hybrid SUVs are hard on front tires despite gentle brake wear.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$85
Shop
~$60
DIY
Free
Often free at the shop where you bought the tires — worth asking before paying.
Inspect at each 5,000-mile visit. Hybrids: pads can last 60,000+ miles from regen braking, but rotors corrode from disuse — inspection catches surface rust before it pits.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$85
Shop
~$60
DIY
Free
Most shops do this free as a courtesy with any service. Don't pay separately if you can avoid it.
Replace roughly every 3 years / 30,000 miles. Hybrid brake actuators are expensive — clean fluid is cheap protection.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$180–$200
Shop
~$125–$140
DIY
~$10–$25
DOT 3 or 4 — match the cap. Vacuum bleeders make this a one-person DIY.
Keeps your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently
Replace every 30,000 miles; inspect at 15,000 in dusty conditions.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$60–$95
Shop
~$45–$70
DIY
~$15–$40
5-minute job on most cars; the airbox lid usually has clips, no tools needed.
Iridium plugs at 120,000 miles per the Toyota/Lexus schedule — among the longest plug intervals in the industry.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$285–$390
Shop
~$200–$275
DIY
~$25–$100
Iridium plugs cost more but last 100k+ miles. V6/V8 access varies wildly — some are tough.
Labeled lifetime fill (Toyota WS), but Lexus specialists commonly recommend a drain-and-fill around 60,000 miles — including the hybrid transaxle, whose fluid cools the motor-generators. Toyota WS fluid only.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$330–$500
Shop
~$235–$355
DIY
~$60–$180
Some sealed transmissions have no dipstick — fill is precise and best left to a shop. Many drivers can still DIY drain-and-fill.
Extends the life of your vehicle and improves comfort
Replace every 15,000 miles. Behind the glovebox on UX, NX, RX, and IS — one of the easiest DIY jobs on the car.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$60–$95
Shop
~$45–$70
DIY
~$15–$40
Usually behind the glovebox. Shops charge labor for a 10-minute job — easy DIY win.
Toyota Super Long Life coolant: first change at 100,000 miles, then every 50,000. Hybrids have a second, separate inverter coolant loop on the same schedule — make sure a shop services both.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$285–$330
Shop
~$200–$235
DIY
~$25–$60
Use the manufacturer-specified coolant — wrong color/chemistry can damage the cooling system.
Test annually after year 3. Hybrid 12V batteries are small AGM units that die quietly — the car won't 'ready' even with a healthy hybrid battery. Hybrid-battery cooling ducts (under/behind rear seats) should be checked for dust at service.
Estimated cost — typical U.S. ranges
Dealer
~$225–$390
Shop
~$160–$280
DIY
~$130–$250
Most auto-parts stores test and install batteries free with purchase. Skip the dealer markup.
