Lexus questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Lexus V6 leaking oil fast?
On many 2007–2009 RX 350s and ES 350s, the VVT-i oil cooler line has a rubber section that can burst, dumping oil quickly.
Warning signs
Sudden oil leak · Oil light · Oil on the engine
What we do
We check which line you have and replace it with the updated all-metal line.
Colorado Springs: A burst line can empty the engine in minutes — if the oil light comes on, pull over.
Why does my Lexus IS 250 misfire?
The 2006–2013 IS 250's direct-injection engine is known for carbon buildup on the intake valves, causing cold-start misfires and rough running.
Warning signs
Cold-start misfire · Rough idle · Check engine light
What we do
We inspect the valves and clean them when carbon is the cause.
Why is my Lexus GX or LX sitting low in back?
The GX and LX rear air suspension and AHC system can leak or fail with age, leaving the rear sagging.
Warning signs
Rear sagging · Suspension warning · Rough ride
What we do
We diagnose the system and repair the failed part.
Why does my Lexus sedan clunk over bumps?
On LS and GS sedans, clunks over bumps are commonly worn control arm bushings.
Warning signs
Clunks over bumps · Vague steering · Uneven tire wear
What we do
We inspect the front end and replace worn arms or bushings.
