Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

What are the signs a 2018 Lexus IS 350 needs a coolant service?Common signs include a higher-than-usual temperature gauge, a sweet smell, or a puddle beneath the front of the vehicle.

Coolant that looks rusty or cloudy, or a reservoir that appears low, also deserves attention. The system should be checked cold because it is under pressure and hot after running. A pressure test can help identify a leak or confirm that scheduled service is the appropriate next step.

  • Temperature gauge running higher than usual
  • Sweet smell or a puddle under the front of the vehicle
  • Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir
What is included in a coolant service on a 2018 Lexus IS 350?The service drains and refills the coolant, pressure tests the system, and inspects the hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area.

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration specified by the manufacturer for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps identify leaks that a routine refill would not correct. The inspection helps determine whether the vehicle needs scheduled coolant service or additional repair.

  • Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
  • Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
  • Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area
How often should the coolant in a 2018 Lexus IS 350 be changed?The manufacturer's published maintenance schedule for this vehicle settles when coolant should be flushed and replaced.

That schedule is the authority for planned maintenance, while coolant condition can be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. A test can help identify depleted protection or a system concern that should be addressed sooner. Nalley Lexus Roswell can also pressure test the system for leaks.

  • Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
  • Test coolant condition during a service visit
  • Pressure test the system when a leak is suspected
What kind of coolant does a 2018 Lexus IS 350 use?The manufacturer specifies the coolant type and concentration for the 2018 Lexus IS 350.

Coolants are not interchangeable, so the correct product should be selected according to the vehicle's manufacturer specifications. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle and should not be used to choose a replacement. A service visit can confirm the appropriate service approach without relying on appearance alone.

  • Use the manufacturer's specified coolant type
  • Follow the specified concentration
  • Do not identify coolant by colour alone
Can I just top off the coolant in a 2018 Lexus IS 350?Topping off restores the coolant level but does not renew the additive package or explain why the level dropped.

A level that keeps dropping indicates a leak rather than normal consumption and should be inspected. Never open a cooling system while it is hot or pressurized; checking it is done cold. A pressure test and component inspection can determine whether the vehicle needs a repair or scheduled coolant service.

  • Adding coolant does not restore depleted additives
  • Repeated level loss points to a possible leak
  • Check the system only when it is cold
