Old Coast Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Just purchased a 97 ES 300 at auction. Its a high mileage DUI forfeiture but in surprising shape. My first venture into Lexus. (I have a 2000 Tundra so I'm familiar with the products). What do I need to know the first 6 months (beside check the oil, etc....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Old Coast, Welcome to the family! First off, enjoy the car. They're great vehicles. My wife's first Lexus was a 97 ES300 and we loved it, loved the 2004 even more, and her present 2011 is the best. That said, your car is 19 years old and with its high mileage there are some things to be aware of, and this list is part Factory and part Lexus Forum Members additions : Every 5,000 Miles: Oil and Oil Filter Change Every 30,000 Miles: Air Filter Change Brake Fluid Change Air Conditioner Filter Change Every 60,000 Miles: Coolant Change Transmission Fluid Change Power Steering Fluid Change Battery Check/Change Every 90,000 Miles: Timing Belt Change Water Pump Change Hoses and Belts Check/Change Every 120,000 Miles: Spark Plugs Change/Tune Up Every 1 Year: Exterior Wax Application Wiper Blade Inserts Change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
