All,
I have an '03 RX300.  I would like to haul 2 kayaks on the roof rack.
Does anyone know the real load capacity?  The dealer was clueless.

My mechanic has tried almost 4 used mass airflow meters, and the check
engine light still comes on after a few minutes of driving.  Is the
part the problem, or is there something else he’s not checking.  I
find it hard to believe that all of these parts are defective.  

I'm going to take delivery of an RX330 soon.  I've noticed in the spec
sheets that Lexus recommends 91 octane.  Any owners out there run with lower
octane?  I've always been told that 91 octane was flushing money away...
thanks for the feedback!

I just bought a new Lexus ES 330.  It came with an option of 17" all season
tires.  I figured if it costs a little more it must be better.  I didn't
notice the little placard on one of the rear windows that said the car came
with "high performance" tires and that they could be ...

What is the oil gelling problem people are talking about? Is it a
warranteed fix? I understand a 1999 RX 300 is subject to it. Thanks

I have my old cargo net from my 03 Rx, now my 05 RX330 has no net or anchors
to attach my old net to it.  I even took off the old anchors from the 300.
Dealer said old anchors wont work. Does the RX330 have a net option.

There is a large resistor near the fuel pump relay.  According to the
schematics, it is powered when the fuel pump relay is de-energized.  The
current that would go to the fuel pump, then goes through this resistor to
the computer (ECU).

Oil first started seeping and is now dripping from the mating surface
between the engine and transaxle. I've removed the inspection cover and
I can see some oil on the oil pan bolts. However, drive plate is

I have an Is300, 2003 model. I don't normally use the auto A/C setting,
but today when I went to use it I noticed something. Perhaps a kind
Lexus owner can tell me if this is normal....
When I turn it from off to "auto", there's about a 5 second pause

Lexus offers extended warranties going up to 7 years/100k miles.  Does
anyone have any experience with buying this extension through their Lexus
dealer, and if the warranty is worth the cost?  When I first bought my 02
ES300, I was offered this extension for around $1000, and ...

I have a 2 month old new 2005 SC430
and there is a rattle or noise on the drivers side when I hit any road
bumps. Any ideas?? I brought it back to the dealer and they kept it for
4 days and found nothing.

Just wondering who out there may have a clue as to doing a "do it yourself"
tune-up on the 99 Lexus RX 300. I called the dealership and the price is
outrageous ($400.00). I also asked their parts department about the type
of spark plugs and basically you can only buy the ...

Does anyone know of a site online where one can obtain OEM floor mats (in
this case for an RX300)? The driver's mat in my car is pretty badly beat up,
and I don't want to have to order the whole set just to get the one I need
(the dealer will only order the complete set).

Was driving the other day in 100 plus temp. and after about 400 miles
or so of driving noticed that the entire carpeting was soaking in
water. Both on the front and the rear sides. I suspect the ac drain
plug is clogged and the water is backing up.  Just a week before this I
