Resetting Oil Maintenance Light in Lexus RX 350
Time needed: 3 minutes
In this section, I’m walking you through the steps of resetting the maintenance light on the 2013 Lexus RX 350. So the first thing you need to do is:
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
I want to turn on the car but without starting the engine so you’re gonna have to press the START button twice
- Make sure you’re on the TRIP A
When it gets everything powered up now we need to get your odometer reading on TRIP A, and to do that just use the ODO/TRIP button on the left of the steering wheel
- Turn off the ignition
By keeping your foot off the brake pedal and pushing the Start/Stop switch until it powers down
- Press and hold the ODO/TRIP button while turning on the ignition again
Hold the ODO/TRIP button down and at the same time you’re going to cycle the Start/Stop switch back on by pushing it two times in a row
- Continue to hold down the ODO/TRIP button
Now it’s going to power up the dash and you’ll see the blinking backward light then changes to zero and the maintenance required light has just been reset
For your info, this will apply specifically to 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 model years. If you’re looking for the latest model, it’s here.
The Lexus RX350 Maintenance Schedule

In addition, you should rotate the spark plugs and check the timing belt. After these services, your vehicle will need a road test and three items inspected. To ensure your car continues to run at its peak, follow the recommended schedule for your model.

Your Lexus RX 350 is going to need maintenance every so often. Fortunately, the manufacturer offers a convenient schedule for service intervals. The manufacturer has outlined what needs to be serviced at different mileages in the owner’s manual. Those intervals correspond to major service and inspection points. Generally, you must complete these services every thirty thousand miles or three years. In addition, your Lexus needs additional services, such as a new air filter.

You can get your Lexus RX350 serviced at an authorized Lexus dealership to receive the recommended services. Depending on your area’s climate and driving conditions, the maintenance schedule for your Lexus RX350 may include fluid exchanges, oil changes, tire rotations, and cabin air filter replacements.

Oil Change
Your Lexus RX 350 has a complex maintenance schedule. In addition to oil changes, it requires regular inspection of the engine and its fluids. The RX 350 should be serviced every ten thousand miles with new oil and filter. You should inspect the exhaust system for any damage at fifteen thousand miles and replace the muffler or mountings if needed. If you’ve noticed a noticeable increase in engine noise, it may be time for a brake inspection.
Battery Replacement
If your battery dies, it’s imperative to replace it immediately! It can take just a few minutes for your Lexus RX350 to go from a dependable ride to a stress generator. Luckily, a few ways to tell if your battery needs replacement. The first is by smelling. Your battery may be leaking sulfur, or it could be simply bloated. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to replace it.

FAQ – Lexus RX Oil Maintenance
The Lexus RX350 advises using DOT 3 brake fluid in all model years. However, it can also take DOT 4. The boiling point and pricing point are the only distinctions between the two varieties that fulfill similar purposes.
For best results, use 0W-20 synthetic oil in your 2015 Lexus RX350. However, you may also use 5W-20 if you need to. With the new filter (which has an oil-filled area), you can fit 6.4 quarts of oil in.
Most owners of the 2012 Lexus RX450h have reported electrical and early brake wear problems as the most common concerns.
