So, what car fluids exactly are we talking about?
Oil
Obviously, you’ll be refilling your car with fuel more often than any other type of car fluid. But when it comes to regular maintenance, having your oil changed will be the most frequent service you’ll need. There’s a good reason for this: oil is essential for your engine to operate without generating dangerous levels of heat and friction.
To keep your car running smoothly and to avoid engine damage, it's important to get your oil changed about every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. The exact interval for your vehicle will be outlined in your owner's manual.
Brake Fluid
Your brakes rely on brake fluid to provide the hydraulic pressure necessary for stopping your car. Brake fluid also keeps your brakes from overheating, preventing early wear to your brake parts. To keep your brakes in proper condition, you should have your brake fluid changed every 30,000 miles or so.
Transmission Fluid
In the same way that your engine needs oil to run, transmissions need lubrication to work properly. Your transmission fluid also provides hydraulic pressure to facilitate gear shifts. Your transmission fluid will also help prevent your transmission from overheating.
In general, Lexus cars need transmission fluid changes about every 30,000 miles.
Coolant
Also referred to as anti-freeze, your car’s coolant regulates the temperature of your engine and other components. It prevents your car’s engine from overheating while driving a lot of miles at a time and also protects your car’s engine from damage during freezing spells.
