Hello George, How to make condenser fins straight. Mine is 12 yrs older. That is will helps.
-
A/C is closed system. No maintenance. Newer coolant goes up to 90,000. When you do your TB, WP etc.
-
depends on direction of engine move and leak location. Since dealer already knows, you will be fine.

Today, I was performing oil change @355K. I don't see any oil drops. Looks to me it's fix byself. All i did is change PCV hose, because it was loose under intake(12 Year heat). spay lots of TB cleaner in that hose while car is on and pcv out. Hear vacuum and installed new pcv with new gromet. Thanks for your all helps.

Thanks George, The oil leak has slowed down, but it is still there. My mechanic advised me to leave it alone. He requested that I keep an eye on the oil level. He quoted me $700 for rear main. Do you think that if I'm driving long distance, the rear main seal will break and I will lose all the oil? Thanks,
-
Thanks for your input. Since idle is fine, I decided not to mess with it. May be some other time, while cleaning TB. Still i can not understand why my car has pulsation when i drive 40-45 miles, rpm remain same. Thanks,
-
It's Done @ 353,900. next one I will do @400K. Thanks,

I opened top bolt (12mm). I can see transmission fluid. i lost 10-12 drop. its telling me that fill plug and top bolts at the same level. George, i am thinking these are for may be bleed purpose. How many miles you should change differential fluid? Thanks,
-
Thanks george, Top one is easy to open from top and has room to work, should i use that to fill, capacity for Diff. fluid is 0.9 qt. may be 1/2" above fill plug. Thanks,
-
Hello, Please review attached picture. There is one drain plug for differential fluid. then one fill plug and at same level two other plug. Questions: 1. What reason 2. Can you use one out of those two plug for fill differential fluid (Same as trans. DEX-III) Easy to put tube from top (99 and UP model has differential drain plug but fill from top through dip stick) correct me if i am wrong. Thanks,

Hello, How much HP in a 97 ES300 engine? (1MZFE) I drove my other 02 camry V6 (1MZFE), and it feels like more power with the same engine.(1MZFE) I drove the 09 Camry I4, and it also feels like more power. I maintain my car well. Is something wrong with my Lexus or is it just aging (353K)? Please advise.

1997 Es300 Egr Part Identification
camlex replied to newbie_lexus_es300lover's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
that is nothing but vacuum tube. the big round piece is hollow cylinder. Lexus or toyota dealer will sell you for $26. Try using direct vacuum tube. Go to orially, autozone. Hope that helps. Reason you have CEL. because of that vac. tube goes to EGR. -

That's very nice of you. I am thinking either valve open or close. and i don't have any code. Looks to me it's working fine. should i mess with it? other thing i noticed in my car is when i drive 40-45 miles speed it's pulsing, rpm remain same (Not goes up and down) that is reason i wanted to clean. and with 353,300 i nevered clean. please advice. Thanks,
-
any pictures of EGR cleaning?
-
After replacing PCV and Hose, oil leak slow down. That area is still wet but not dripping 2-3 drops over night. Should change to 10W40?
-
Thank you, Since nobody replied, I am assuming leave it alone. I was looking EGR vacuum modulator filter, I can;t find it. May be only in 4 cylinder toyota camry. Thanks,
