Are the brakes the same? If so I'll just ask for 2000 Camry brake pads at a Toyota dealership if they fit on the Lexus.

Hey guys, I was wondering if the 2000 ES300 brake pads are the same as the 2000 Camry brake pads because I need to change the pads out of my sister's Lexus and don't want to get overcharged at the Lexus stealership. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi guys, new member here looking for some help in changing my sister's Lexus. I'm a pretty ok amateur mechanic, have some experience in other work. I have a few questions about changing the brake pads though since I've never done it. This is on a 2000 Lexus ES300. 1. What is the part number to the OEM brake pads? Since I know Toyota and Lexus interchange parts since they are the same company, I was wondering if the brake pads are the same as Toyota brake pads. I don't want to walk into a Lexus dealership and get overcharged for the same product as something I could have gotten cheaper at a Toyota dealership. 2. In the directions, it says I have to siphon some brake fluid out of the reservoir. How much of it do I have to take out? Is this step mandatory? Can I not just take out the bolts holding onto the caliper and take the caliper off the rotors and take the pads out? Thanks for all the help.
