incredibly stupid and pointless? i would have to disagree, you said you don't need to "warm" up any "toyota/lexus" so that states that other cars would need to be warm up?.
it is not stupid and pointless to warm up your car.
"people" dont suggest warming up your car, because its "wastes" gas.
now, at the same time i didn't suggest warming up your car for 5-10mins.
and no, warming up your car will not do harm to your motor.
by all means, those who disgree, go ahead and start your car and go.

He was asking about his Lexus. We are talking about Lexus'. Its not necessary to warm up any modern engine. Is that better?

are u kidding me?
what does 2k miles and looking like "honey" have to do with it. its less likely have to do with starting your car and go.
hell try drivng your car hard here and there and tell me do your 2k miles "honey" still looks good?
and depending on what type of oil u use also.

The only part I understood was what type of oil. Castrol 5-30.

guys guys.... jeeze, i'm just trying to find some help for my baby, not start a war 
calm down people
and sloooooow thanks for the link! So its better to have the 1mz engine instead cause its lighter, but it said it only output 168-190hp. When I google my lexus es300 it said it has 200HP is this true? Mine is the 1998 ES300

Yes your motor is 200hp... the 1MZ equipped with VVT-i has 210. But I heard (saw) people (on Here) say that it is heavier than the non VVT-i one so it didn't make a difference in speed. 200 sounds like a lot, but I mostly look at the work horse power. Makes more sense to me.

I think the 2000s were equiped with VVT-i. Not sure... but I'm sure (Think) that when the Platinum series were out, all platinum series and non patinums after 2000 had VVT-i.
