What Does the Lexus Maintenance Required Light Mean?

Dashboard Warning Lights
If a new symbol has started glowing on your dashboard, you are probably wondering, what does the “Lexus Maintenance Required” light mean and what needs to happen next? The Lexus Maintenance Required light serves as a reminder for drivers and will pop on automatically at around 3,500 to 5,000 miles. Even though this doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with your vehicle or parts, it does mean that you should think about scheduling your 5,000-mile service at our Philadelphia-area service center. Learn more about the Lexus maintenance cost and more in this handy guide from your trusted Lexus service center.


What Services Are Needed?

When the maintenance light goes on, it typically indicates that the 5,000-mile service is needed. This includes basic maintenance, such as:

  • Engine oil change
  • Filter change
  • Tire rotation
  • Multi-point inspection
  • Fluid inspection
  • Fluid adjustment

With that said, there’s a chance that you may need additional services depending on your particular vehicle. Don’t hesitate to speak with our factory-trained technicians for advice.

What is the Lexus Maintenance Cost?

Lexus maintenance cost could range anywhere from $75 to $135, but it’s always recommended to refer to your warranty! Your new Lexus vehicle comes with complimentary maintenance for your first and second scheduled maintenance services, which is normally at 6 months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles. Keep in mind, however, that after many miles on the Voorhees and Moorestown roads, you will need to factor in services like timing belt repairs and ignition tune-ups into your Lexus maintenance cost.

How to Reset Lexus Maintenance Light

If you have scheduled your service and you’re ready to go, you may also be wondering if you can reset the Lexus maintenance light right at home. Yes, you can! Follow these steps below:

  • Turn on your engine.
  • Flip your Odometer/Trip Display to ODO mode or TRIP A mode, depending on the model.

  • Wait for the maintenance light to blink, turn solid, and then turn off.
  • Let go of the Trip Meter Reset button.
