  1. The Michelin's averaged the best according to all the Lexus forums I've been on, so I bought 'em. Oh well. Did I miss something?
  2. I use the FULL synthetic (not dino) walmart brand. How can that be worse than the conventional oil that many use in their RX all the time? How could it hurt since this 5-10 years ago this would have been a good thing to do to my RX if it were available in Walmart brand? Since many here use conventional oil in their lexus, even WalMart brand FULL synthetic should be better than regular Penzoil.
  3. WalMart Brand is $12 for 5 qts. versus $23 for Mobil 1 Is there really much difference in product? How often should I change my oil if I drive about 400 miles/month? thanks
  4. Since RX300 does not have side CURTAIN airbags like the Rav4. Which one would be safer? The Rav4 DRIVER fared better than the RX300 DRIVER in crash tests. Anyone here own the new Rav4?
  5. I eat salesman up like a shark. I drive anything I want for free, waste their whole afternoon, sit at the desk, shake hands, go to the finance guy and crap all over them until I got the manager and 3 other guys in the office and feed them the same bull they are giving me, playing all kinds of games with them and walk out with nothing because I dont like the deal. I feel sorry for the sap that comes out like he's a wheeler dealer and hunts me down on the lot because he's just going to get chewed up and spit out. I am there just to look but they dont take that for an answer. My wife hates going with me as she feels sorry for the salesperson. Now they leave me alone when I come to look.
  6. Is that a recall or TSB? Will I have to pay or is that under my CPO?
  7. I used to love my RX, now I just hate it except for when I am parked with the engine off in my driveway. I test drove an IS and now my RX tranny feels so DOGGGGGGGY. I never realized how much other vehicles roll so nice and accelerate quickly without much effort. I cant stand the RX now. The tranny feels like its braking all the time. I have maintained it very well. (Especially the tranny). I think I will diconnect the neg. batt. terminal every nite so I can get a reset after my wife drives it. What a pain. Any suggestions or fixes? :chairshot: :( :cries:
  8. Thanks Mehullica. You ar :) e the only one on all the 60 boards here that answered my question
  9. I have read other coolant flush procedures however what are the exact details for an RX? Please include pictures as I dont have a service manual. Thanks
  10. In my area ethanol blend is cheapest and a little higher octane than regular. Has anyone heard wether ethanol is good or bad for the RX? One dealer told me that its good in colder climates but not in warmer times of the year because your engine will run hotter. I dont know.
  11. HOW DO YOU DO YOUR COOLANT FLUSHES ON YOUR RX300?
  12. I have read many posts on flushing Lexus cars cooling systems, but not the RX300. What is the usual method of flushing on the RX. Where are the drain bolts on the block? How do you get to them or is this a dealer issue or should I just drain and fill.? Thanks ahead.
  13. The front wheel drive transmission don't seem to be as bad. Although i have heard of them to go out early. ← 2001 AWD 78,000 Not one problem! Do you know where your drain plugs for the coolant are on your engine block? If you find out let me know how to get to em. Thanks
  14. I would just call and ask a dealer to send you a picture of where the plugs are because no one here cares and never will so just get lost and shut up!
