Service Center FAQs at Lexus of Pleasanton

What Sorts of Routine Maintenance Does My Vehicle Need?

Your Lexus needs several types of routine maintenance to stay in peak condition for the long run. These maintenance services include oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and filter replacements. Your vehicle also needs regular care, including:

• Engine & cabin air filter replacement
• Transmission fluid replacement
• Spark plug maintenance
• Battery testing and replacement
• Windshield wiper blade replacement
• Belt and hose inspections
• And more

Our service advisors at Lexus of Pleasanton can help you understand the recommended maintenance schedule for your particular vehicle.

What Does an Oil Change Involve?

An oil change is one of the most important maintenance services your vehicle requires. The process begins with safely lifting your vehicle and locating the oil drain plug beneath the engine. Your technician will drain the aging, contaminated oil from the engine into a collection container. This used oil contains dirt, debris, and metal particles that accumulate over time. After the old oil has been completely drained, the technician will remove and replace the oil filter with a new one.

With a fresh filter installed, your technician will put the drain plug back and refill the engine with fresh oil. During an oil change, our technicians will also perform a complimentary multi-point inspection to identify any additional issues before they can become major problems.

What is a tire rotation?

A tire rotation is a maintenance procedure that involves moving your vehicle's tires from one position to another. This helps to ensure that your tires wear evenly over time, extending their lifespan and helping you enjoy better performance and traction for longer. Most service centers recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

What does the service center look at during a brake inspection?

A comprehensive brake inspection examines multiple components of your vehicle's braking system to ensure its safe and reliable stopping power. During a brake inspection, our technicians will examine the following components:

• Brake pads
• Brake rotors
• Brake calipers
• Brake lines
• Brake fluid

Following your inspection, our service advisors will provide you with a detailed report and recommendations for any necessary repairs or replacements.

What are the signs that my battery needs replacement?

Your vehicle's battery is essential for starting the engine and powering electrical components. These are the most common indicators that your battery may need replacement:

• Slow engine cranking: If your engine takes longer than usual to start or seems slow to start.
• Dim headlights and interior lights: If your battery struggles to maintain its charge, you may notice your lights appearing dimmer than normal.
• Electrical system issues: Malfunctioning power windows, erratic radio behavior, or slow-to-respond accessories can be a sign of battery problems.
• Visible corrosion or battery case swelling: Corrosion build-up around the connection terminals or a swelling battery can be a sign of internal damage. This requires immediate replacement.

The service center at Lexus of Pleasanton offers battery testing services to evaluate your battery's condition and determine whether replacement is necessary.
