Here you go (linking them from the gallery to this thread):









BTW welcome to CL, and nice ES you got there. The only thing I recommend from your maintenance plans is that you should extend the change intervals for the engine oil and transmission fluid to every 5,000 and 30,000 miles respectively. That is the recommended interval rate by Lexus and Toyota. Other than that, glad to hear your ES is running like a top

 

Thanks for posting the pics for me .

I use high milage oil to protect the seals . So instead of changing once after every 5000 miles I do it twice ( arround 2000 to 2500 ) . This keeps my engine clean and no sluge . I want my es to go past 250K .
For synthatic oil , it is ok to change after 5000 miles .
Trany oil : I will start changin arround every 15000 miles now . This car has been driven by an old lady , actually very old lady arround 84 . So this engine still sounds like a new . So I think trany can go beyond 250 K easily , with my plane of oil change .

 

Final status update: That car passed 250 K and sold for change. Nothing wrong with that engine. Everything works

I just found my old account so posting again. I loved that car. It was an amazing car. It never gave me any issue. Just regular maintenance
