Hi, my car is 2020 Lexus RX 350 AWD: 5 years old, 48K miles, Florida driving. When do I need to flush the radiator cooling, brake fluid, power steering fluid and clean injector? Thanks a lot!

- Radiator Coolant: It is recommended to replace coolant periodically, but the exact interval is not specified. If complete drainage is difficult, replacing it more frequently is an option.
- Brake Fluid: Flush and bleed every 2–3 years, regardless of mileage, as moisture and air degrade it over time.
- Power Steering Fluid: Check and refill as needed. If leaking or contaminated, replace it.
- Fuel Injectors: No specific interval is mentioned for cleaning. If experiencing performance issues, consider cleaning them.
