I have a friends who own an ISF and he is asking in tne major service of the ISF what need to be done and what should be changed?

Anyone can help?

 

How many miles?
I believe it's just oil change, check brakes, filters change.
Whenever I call the dealer they list all these "inspect this inspect that inspect this" and the total comes out to a thousand bucks or something
The only things they really change are oil and filter though -- I must be missing something

 

I'd have to check, but I thought the owner's manual lists all the maintenance items at each interval?

 

I want to know what is involved for 15k service. Dealer quoted me $399.99 to do it.

 

Here's the guide. It's available from Lexus owner's website (click the owners link at www.lexus.com and either login or register.) See page 49 for the 15k mile inspections and service.

 

Thats the most expensive oil change ever!!


18 Months or 15,000 Miles
❏ Replace engine oil and oil filter; reset reminder light
❏ Clean air conditioner filter
❏ Visually inspect brake pads and rotors
❏ Road-test vehicle
❏ Inspect the following:
___Axle shaft boots
___Ball joints and dust covers
___Body
___Brake lines and hoses
___Engine coolant (see page 67)
Additional Maintenance Required If You Drive Primarily Under the Following Conditions
Driving on dirt roads or dusty roads:
❏ Inspect engine air filter
❏ Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis

 

Here is the General Maintenance and Regular Use guide...

If you this regularly, you could be saving a ton of money.



GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR USE MAINTENANCE

In addition to scheduled maintenance, your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and visual inspections. The recommended
guidelines for inspections are listed below. Please refer to the “Maintenance”
section of the Owner’s Manual for a detailed description of inspection procedures.

When Refueling

When refueling, perform these inspections:
• Check engine oil level using the dipstick
• Visually check engine coolant level on the see-through reservoir (under cover)
• Visually check brake fluid level on the see-through reservoir
• Visually check power steering fluid level on the see-through reservoir (under cover)
• Visually check condition of battery (under cover)
• Check level of windshield washer fluid

Every 30 Days

At least once every 30 days, perform these inspections:
• Check tire pressure
• Check tires for damage and wear

Hey I just had my 10k service and I was totally stunned by Lexus. They did the oil and stuff but then told me my front brake pads and rotors needed to be changed. The brakes and rotors were $1300 w/ labor and then the other serviced along with the 5 star detail cost me $1878 out the door. Let me fisrt say if you had your car for 10k miles or more and have swirlies and fine scratches, do the 5 star detail, and the car looks brand new again. Other than that I was able to utilize the tire and wheel package I bought for $2500K at buying time. I got my front tires changed free of charge(cost $1000), and olny had to pay $50 per tire. So anyguys with the tire package, it is legit!

 

^^what tires did they give you?

 

They did the first two, I'm taking it from here. I take it Lexus is no different in that so long as I can show within reason that all regular maintenance has been performed, no warranty issues should occur?

 

I passed up on that warranty package.. LoL

My rims & tires still have 50 miles..

Honestly, sounds worth it if you want PS2's for liftetime and maybe ever have some sort of wheel damage covered by the warranty fine print.

My F came with the Bridgestone Potenzas and they seemed rough. So I requested the PS2's and they got em' for me. So now I'm running PS2 in the front and Potenzas in the back LOL. Of course until the next service when they change out the back to the PS2's. IMO the PS2's definitley seem a lot better than the Potenzas.

 

Are you serious? I think I will keep my $399!

 

How did you wear out your fronts in 10k, but the rears are still good?

Also, I did the 10k service on my F right before selling it and it was just shy of $200 which included Mobile 1. I didn't opt for any special detailing, but it still sounds like you paid a huge premium.
