Chip Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 We just parted with our faithful 02 ES300 with 225K miles and acquired a lovely ruby 2008 ES350. I looked at the manual but have just a few basic questions: 1. does the ES350 engine have a replaceable timing belt or is it a permanent chain in this engine? 2. does the tranny require service? if so, what fluid and how often? or is it a sealed for life unit? 3. are there any special tools you recommend I'll need to do basic maintance like changing oil and filter? thanks guys!

Jetlagged Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hello Chip. I believe thee timing "belt" is a chain in the 3.5 V-6. Transmission is sealed. There are a few u tube vids on oil changes. Don't feel bad about the questions. Should see mine a few below yours.
