Lexus oil sludge

2001??.... I have a 1999 Lexus ES300 and our vehicle is covered by the gel/sludge warranty. -

This is probably the best solution. Even my salesman recommended buying Mobil 1 synthetic from Costco and bringing it in for the service center to use instead of their oil. If using synthetic oil he said you can schedule oil changes every 7500 miles instead of 5000 miles.

Hello,

I'm a new Lexus customer (ES330). Does the Lexus dealer really charge $2000 to replace the timing belt and water pump?!!!

Who knows? Ask your dealer. Perhaps they have a different set of prices.

ask your dealer! go to the dealer and ask for the maintenance prrice list. my dealer has this sheet which lays out the prices for each service and what is included in them, and a 90k includes a whole lot more than just timing belt and water pump. your most important services are at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90k. if you want to cut costs, you can get your oil changed every 5 at a REPUTABLE (not jiffy screw, smallwart, vasoline, or any type of FastFoodJoint places) shop.
