TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A LONG-LASTING LEXUS: A GUIDE FOR EDMONTON OWNERS

Posted on June 13, 2023

As proud owners of a Lexus vehicle, it's only natural to want to make sure it runs smoothly for years to come. Proper care and maintenance play a crucial role in preserving the longevity and performance of your Lexus, especially in Edmonton where the driving conditions are less than ideal often.

 

In this blog post, we will provide you with valuable tips and tricks to help you care for your Lexus and maximize its lifespan. From routine maintenance to driving practices and protective measures, let this be your guide to keeping your Lexus on the road for years to come.

 

Stick to the Maintenance Schedule 

 

One of the most important aspects of caring for your Lexus is following the recommended maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual.

 

Regular servicing, including oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections, helps prevent potential issues and ensures your vehicle operates at its best.

 

Schedule routine visits to your trusted Lexus service center in Edmonton to stay on top of maintenance tasks and address concerns right away.
When you bring your vehicle in for regular maintenance, our technicians are able to catch small problems quickly and stop them from becoming bigger and more problematic (and expensive) down the road.

CHOOSE QUALITY PARTS AND FLUIDS 

 

When it comes to replacing parts or fluids in your Lexus, opt for genuine Lexus parts and approved fluids. Genuine parts are specifically designed for your vehicle and offer superior quality and compatibility, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Likewise, approved fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid, meet Lexus' stringent specifications, providing the best protection for your vehicle's components.

 

Practice Smooth Driving Techniques 

 

Driving habits have a significant impact on the wear and tear of your Lexus. Practice smooth driving techniques, including gentle acceleration, and gradual braking, and avoid sudden maneuvers.

 

The point is — smooth driving reduces stress on your vehicle's engine, transmission, and braking system and improves fuel efficiency. This means the more you practice mindful driving habits, the longer your Lexus will stay on the road and the more money you will save on fuel.

PROTECT YOUR LEXUS FROM THE ELEMENTS 

Edmonton's climate can be harsh, with extreme temperatures, road salt, and unpredictable weather. Protect your Lexus from the elements by parking in a covered area whenever possible. During winter, consider installing rubber floor mats to protect the carpet from moisture and salt.

 

Regularly washing and waxing your vehicle to maintain its exterior finish and provide a barrier against environmental contaminants will also make a huge difference. Our detail team does a fantastic job at cleaning every inch of your Lexus. Depending on your schedule, we always recommend having your Lexus detailed at least once a season.

 

MAINTAIN PROPER TIRE CARE 

 

Tires play a crucial role in the safety and performance of your Lexus. Ensure proper tire care by maintaining the recommended tire pressure, rotating the tires regularly, and checking for signs of wear or damage.

 

Adequate tread depth is essential for traction and handling, especially in Edmonton's varying road conditions. Consider investing in a set of winter tires for improved grip and safety during the winter months.

KEEP YOUR INTERIOR CLEAN AND WELL-MAINTAINED 

 

A clean and well-maintained interior not only enhances your driving experience but also protects the longevity of your Lexus. Regularly vacuum and wipe down the interior surfaces to remove dirt, dust, and debris.

 

Use high-quality leather or fabric cleaners to nourish and protect your upholstery. Consider using sunshades to protect your dashboard and leather seats from harmful UV rays.

DRIVE CONSISTENTLY AND AVOID LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY 

 

Consistent driving is beneficial for your Lexus as it allows the engine and other components to operate optimally. If possible, avoid long periods of inactivity or extended storage without regular use.

 

If you anticipate leaving your Lexus unused for an extended period, consider disconnecting the battery or using a trickle charger to maintain its charge.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE 

 

Accidents and unexpected events can occur despite your best efforts. Protect your investment by obtaining comprehensive insurance coverage for your Lexus. Comprehensive insurance can provide financial protection against theft, vandalism, natural disasters, and other unforeseen circumstances, ensuring that you're covered in unfortunate incidents.
