Hi guys.
I plan to use my GX460 as my daily driver and keep my GS as my secondary/weekend car.
My question is, lets say I only put 5000 miles in 2 years time frame on my secondary vehicle(GS), would I still have to take it in for routine maintenance check or just wait it out till it hits 5000 miles?
I would be driving the secondary vehicle at least once a week or once every 2 weeks to keep the fluids running.
I've had two different answers given to me(one from my friend who collects cars and is a mechanic. The other from my Lexus service advisor who recommends to bring it in at least once annually even if it doesn't hit the 5000 miles).
My friend has told me as long as I keep the car driven once every couple weeks, there is no need to get it serviced until the recommended 5000 miles.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

 

Lexus will have to stick with their service interval (minimum once a year) if you ask them. But I would ignore the automatic service call by the in-car computer. I would only service according to mileage. That's what I 've done with my second car 01gs which still runs strong.

 

Thx Lexzam, I appreciate your advice.
