Aren't a Toyota and a Lexus considered the same thing? Why such an exclusive car cost more in maintenance compared to a Toyota?Why would a Lexus cost more in maintenance compared to a Toyota?You've asked this question on acura section as well....



I did a bit more research and found out that obviously you pay for the brand, Lexus is a premium brand than Toyota.



This is what a Lexus dealer told me....



Lexus have tuned up engines, to maintain their horsepower, they need better oil than what normal cars such as Toyota Camry would use. So this is another reason why oil change is expensive.Why would a Lexus cost more in maintenance compared to a Toyota?A Lexus is considerably more expensive than a Toyota; it's a luxury car. Some of the components are the same as in certain Toyota models, but any luxury car company charges more for parts than for its cheaper relatives. That's how they make their money. It's a status symbol thing.
