I just purchased a '99 ES 300 and would like to do everything myself. Is there anything special I need to know? Are there places that I need to grease? If so, how many?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

thanks. I'm familiar with changing oil in general, been changing it in my chevy truck for years. What I was wondering is if there were any grease fittings or anything like that that are hidden or not obvious.

I don't know anything about the ES, but I would recommend changing the oil drain plug crush washer with each oil change. It is under $2 and is good insurance against leaks. Toyota/Lexus change it every time they change the oil on a car.

sorry about that. "It" meaning the car not the washer. Is there any grease fittings to pump grease into? My truck has 10 in front on the steering components and around the wheels and 1 on the front driveshaft next to the transfer case.
