Default Thanks RX330inFL

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I hadn't even considered the toll AWD would take on the fuel economy. That wasn't an option we were even concerned with, honestly. This one just happened to be AWD. I was planning on trying a quarter-tank of 89 to see how the ECM managed. That way if it rebels I can fill up the remainder with high-test. Then if the engine seemed happy with that, I was going to try the same with 87.

I was counting on either doing the routine stuff myself or finding an independent. My selection of Toyota dealerships is less than impressive.

Thanks for the info!

2005 Lexus RX330 AWD
It has everything except navigation system and air suspension
Color is neptune blue mica
I also have a 2005 Infiniti G35 in the garage as well

Pic of both cars below. Sorry, crappy cell phone pic. Still need to thoroughly wash/detail the Lexus. It's been raining since we picked it up.

Default Beautiful Color

Wow, Ramen, I dig that color. I don't think I've seen that on an RX before. (I'm sure there are several on this site, but seeing as how I'm new around here…)

I have a 2008 lexus rx350 and while driving to Florida over Spring Break the passenger side headlight washer cover flew off. Does anyone know where I can find a detailed diagram of this system? I need to order the right parts to cover up the hole on the front bumper.

Welcome to Club Lexus.

I would confer with your local Lexus dealer to make sure as there may be a difference between the Canadian built and the Japanese built RX350 models.

Look in the PNC column for 85341 at the following URL:

New owner, just checking in. Snagged an '06 RX 400h in pearl white, with 69k miles, and added a 3/36 Toyota warranty to it; wanted to give the hybrid a try, due to the ever-increasing gas prices, and my wife's driving profile I think will benefit from it.

So far I love it; it has some flaws you'd expect for a used car. Biggest one I can see is the paint on the rear black spoiler is basically completely oxidized off, feels like sandpaper. The rest of the paint looks great, but this black spoiler took a beating. I might consider having a paint shop sand and repaint it.

First thing I need to do is figure the best XM solution for it; thinking the VAIS setup, but haven't done enough research on the best solution for this year model. (one of the reasons I'm joining this forum)

Looking forward to learning and the information here, thanks.

Default 2006 RX350 - outback exposure

2006 Sport Luxury with navigation, rear camera and Mark Levinson. Vais Ipod connection. The colour is granite, which absolutely sparkles in the sun. These pics were taken on an outback trip a few years ago - the RX is a seriously nice car for covering long distances.

Parts already on order (thanks to all the post in the forums): Dual Wide Armrest, DICE media bridge, Mudguards, boxes of filters and stuff from Swell. Going to pick up a highlander hitch next week at a Toyota dealership and I'll put some sound proofing material down under the storage bins when I plug in the hitch.
