I need to replace the battery now! But I saw the sign on my lexus factory battery that shows me 84 month warranty. Should I drive xx miles to Lexus dealership and ask them replace it for free? I only can reach Toyata dealership in my local area. What is the best way to do it? Thanks for all suggestions!

04 RX330 After I drain and refill the transmission fluid, run the car 30 minutes, then check the fluid level. It is right between the cold line and hot line. I am not sure how much more I need to reach the hot line. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks!

I saw one post here before, but never find it again. Please give me a link, I am going to do it this weekend. Thanks!

Who did that before, Is that a routine work? I feel my 2004 RX330 a little bit powerless, so want to adjust the valve clearance. But I heard the modern car doesn't need to do that. Any other opinions?

2004 RX 68000miles Powertrain, Emission warranty?

2004 RX330 So far I found my passenger side mirror is hardly adjusted. It become sticky or weakly. Today It is finally dead. I still can hear the motor sound when I push button, but it just never move at all. Please help!

Did you change spark plugs after you ran seafoam through the intake?

I have the Lexus RX330 version of the Personalized Settings in .PDF format. I could not attach it to this post because the file is larger then 100K. Let me know where you would like me to email it. Can I get a copy. Email: runningshao@hotmail.com Thanks!

Did anybody do that before? Seafoam is supposed to burn the carbon which build up in engine and clean fuel system. I wonder if this strong stuff could hurt any part or sensor? I don't want my check engine light on after I have done that. And also any suggested thing I need to work after seafoaming, like change oil, filter? Thanks for your replies.

So you think only one time drain and fill every 30,000 miles is enough. filter and gasket is not necessary?

So you don't think It's necessary to change transmission filter and pan gasket ? How many quarts I need for couple of time changing. Is that couple of times in one day or in different day? Thanks for your reply.

I recently purchased a 2004 RX330 with 65k miles on it. Since I have no idea with when the previous owner did transmission service, I decide to do it before the powertrain warranty expired. Right now 68xxx miles on it. So the work need to be done as soon as possible. The current color of transmission fluid is light red with normal smell. I am very concerned with what kind of transmission service I should go(Drain and refill or complete fluid replacement?). Sometimes the transmission service will make it go bad. My transmission is in a good condition now, I don't want to mess it up. So any suggetion for me is greatly appreciated.

Could you post out how you did?

when I add gas for acceleration especially at low speed(5-10mph), the engine seems to roaring. In my impression, Lexus should be very quiet. Is that a special design for lexus SUV? I don't know whether cleaning fuel system will help or not. Please give me some idea to make it quieter. Thanks!

If the leak happens, can i just switch back to dino oil and the will the leak be gone?

same thing here. waiting for solutions.

My RX330 is 2004, It is free under 80000 mile warranty. What year is your RX? Oops, its a 2006. What did it cost? Tom

How about the "LEAK" issue?

I did ECM calibration last week. really better! I would like to recommend everybody to do it.

BTW how to reset the light? Thanks!

Any suggestion? I really don't like dealer to replace it. But my local locksmith told me I have to order it from dealer. Any one had this problem before, how much it would cost?

Does it really lead to leakage?( 2004 RX330, 67000miles) What the real difference between dino oil and synthetic? Is that changing with dino oil every 3000 miles equal to with synthetic every 5000 miles?

I recently purchased my 2004 RX330 with 66600 miles, but have no idea what and when the previous ower did maintenance. From this forum, I know that regular transmission service is very important. So attched some pics, please help me to judge wheather I need to change it or not. Thanks!
