Additional Notes

  • The main cooling system capacity for the Lexus RX (EU) RX 350h AWD and RX 450h+ AWD is listed as a range of 7.2 to 7.9 liters, which reflects normal variation depending on fill method and air purging during service.
  • The RX 500h AWD carries a notably larger main cooling system capacity of 9.4 liters, alongside a separate 5.3-liter intercooler circuit, meaning two distinct coolant volumes must be accounted for during service on that variant.
  • All three variants share a separate inverter cooling circuit with a fixed 2-liter capacity, a relatively small volume consistent with the dedicated thermal management loop found in hybrid drive electronics.
  • Under normal use conditions, the main cooling system change interval for the RX 350h AWD and RX 450h+ AWD is 90000 km, with checks scheduled every 30000 km.
  • The first change only condition extends the initial main cooling system drain interval to 150000 km on the RX 350h AWD and RX 450h+ AWD, reflecting the extended service life of factory-fill coolant before the standard 90000 km cycle begins.
  • On the RX 500h AWD, the first change only interval for the main cooling system reaches 240000 km, a significantly longer initial service period compared to the 150000 km first-change interval on the RX 350h AWD and RX 450h+ AWD.
  • The inverter cooling system on all three variants follows a first change only interval of 240000 km, while the normal change interval is 90000 km, indicating a substantial difference depending on whether factory-fill fluid is still in service.
  • Inverter cooling system checks are scheduled at 30000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first, introducing a time-based criterion not present in the main cooling system check schedule for the RX 350h AWD and RX 450h+ AWD.
  • The RX 500h AWD main cooling system check interval also includes a 24-month time component alongside the 30000 km distance trigger, aligning with the inverter circuit schedule on that variant.
