There is some of a sensor attached to the oil filter assembly, sometimes after regular oil change mechanic forgets to check this connection. So no harm to the engine, but the light stays on. Just ask them to re-connect.
Happened to my Highlander like 5 times :)
You should change your oil at least every 3000 to 4000 miles or in your case every 4828 to 6437 kilometers. If you use fully synthetic oil you can do the change every 5000 miles or 8046 kilometers.
regular oil changes and maintenance it's hard to say how long it will last. do those things and fix mechanical problems as they arise and it should outlast the body on the vehicle. i clocked over 400,000 km on my last vehicle which is close to the milage you have run up. it still ran ok and is likely still running. i only sold it as i picked up a vehicle with extremely low miles on it.
If your losing compression then I suggest doing a compression test and then following it up with a wet compression test to determine whether the problem is in the valves or pistons.
Wow one tune up in 122k miles jerking not really an ignition thing more like a fuel thing. If Compression test results are good then do a full tune up even replace coil packs or distributor ( which ever is applicable) and replace fuel filter.
These vehicles are not known for major engine problems (blown engines bad valves etc).
Big with transmission problems if its a 6 cylinder not the 4 cylinders.
No. It's never a good idea to take your car to the dealer unless is a problem that falls under an electrical or physical malfunction that would be still under warranty. A standard oil change and tune up on a well maintained vehicle shouldn't run you over $100-$150 at most.
You dont need to go to adealer if the mechanic youre seeing can do and has the tools required to maintain the vehicle according to the hand book specs,as they are most certainly the best way to preserve the cars longevity.Basic servicing will only cover the basic things,all sorts of filters need to be changed at regular intervals with any car ,moreso Lexus ...Hence the reputation for reliability,so get any mechanic capable of doing these things whose qualified most importantly to do it.Theyre too nicer car to do less with
well take it back to you're mechanic and have him in stall a master oil pressure gauge and check teh oil pressure this will tell you if the engine indeed has low oil pressure or if the oild pressure sender is bad. also if it is rattling or knocking SHUT IT OFF you dont wana spend the 4-5 thousand to fix it im sure
You should have had the transmission fluid changed at 30, 000 miles, and you should have the transmission flushed at 60,000.
Change the timing belt at 90, 000 miles (if you have a V-6).
Change the air filter every 15,000 miles.
Check the spark plug condition at 60,000, and change the coolant at 60,000.
