Hi guys , I recently bought a 2008 IS 250 with 81000 miles, was very clean in and out. Had it checked by mechanic before purchase and had rear right axle replaced. Other than that running awesome. For my own piece of mind i had all new brake pads and rotors done along with new engine and cabin air filter. Is there anything else you would guys would recommend at this point to keep it running excellent for years to come?

 

Im pretty sure you already know this but...double or triple check the owners manual..see if the proper maintenance actions should be there

 

Spark plug , diff oil and since u r changing pad and rotor mind as well change the brake fluid

 

Check the water pump for seeping.

 

Did you register with Lexus.com and check for service history?

Check to see if your car had the carbon build up service done.

Its a 10 year extended warranty where they replace pistons, seals, fluid, and the block if it has scoring. For free!

I just did this on my 2008 IS250 at 90k miles. Basically a new/rebuilt engine.

 

Taking mine for them to diagnosis carbon build up on Monday , free loaner and gas !!

 

how much is the diagnosis at the dealer? when they offer to replace it if theres a problem try an independent shop first save $$

 

Diagnosis is free at dealer

 

Free everything. it's extended warranty 10 years from orginal purchase date of vehicle

 

Some are saying its 9 years from date of purchase

 

yeah its 9 years, i called lexus. my 2006 is250 is out of warranty :/

 

call corporate office , they might be willing to do carbon build up repairs as you are just out of the 9 th year
