Hello everyone!
My 2018 Lexus IS 300 AWD FSPORT is 2,000 miles away before I need my next interval maintenance service at 70,000 miles. I suspect this will happen around March of next year.
Looking through the maintenance log, I can see where the manufacturer recommends checking the front and rear differential fluid at 60,000 miles and again at 90,000 miles. But what I don’t see is when should the fluid be changed.
That’s why I went over at the Clublexus.com forum to ask the guys there who are familiar with my specific car on what they believe I should do.
I didht get enough response from the community, though, and the few who responded recommended changing the fluid at 60,000 miles as a preventative measure.
However, on a different thread asked by someone else, I saw a handful of conflicted answers, where they indicated for Canadian drivers to have this service done every 30,000 miles ( possibly due to the extreme weather there ) and never for the USA drivers.
What do you recommend ? I haven’t had this service done on my car and I don’t want to perform a service that isn’t necessary as throwing away money is not something I like to do. However, if this service is imperative, I will have no problem getting the front and rear differential fluid changed.
Your advice is much appreciated.
