Preventative Maintenance Suggestions On A 2013 LX 570
Hi..As the topic suggests. I have a 2013 LX I purchased new back in late 2013. She has around 96000 miles. About to bring her in for an oil change at the dealer. Any preventative recommendations other than what is stated in the factory maintenance manual? For example changing the water pump, spark plugs, radiator, etc. Thanks.
F&R diff, AHC fluid, A/C Freon, Coolant, Transfer case fluid, Tranny fluid.... Spark plugs coming up I think (is it 105k / 120k?) but if we based that on 'time', they'll be due (but it's up to you).

Thanks for the suggestions. Did everything already but the freon and spark plugs which aren't due till 120K miles, but yeah timewise I should change them out. Other than that she's been running well. Thanks again.

The water pump gets done as it needs removal to get to the timing belt. Same with fan clutch. I'd leave the radiator alone until/unless you see leakage. Spark plug replacement is based on mileage...they don't wear until the engine is started. Same with coil packs. At 98K, I'd be thinking of upper and lower radiator and heater hoses, as well as the infamous plastic heater hose T's...they definitely need attention NOW.

This all true with lx prior to 2008. After that there is no timing belt
