Certain auto parts sites lists parts for two types of 1999 ES 300:

1999: 6Cyl 3.0L 1MZFE Base
1999: 6Cyl 3.0L Base

What is 1MZFE? How do I know if my car is that type or not?

 

Its the type of engine put in the car all gen. 3 es's have the 1MZFE.

 

The 1MZFE is the engine code for the third generation ES 300. Read more about it here.

Hope this helps...

 

Thank for the replies.

Some auto parts sites list a range of manufacture dates of "8/1996 to 7/1999" or "8/1999 to 6/2001", and some other sites list "base" or "1MZFE" to determine which part you need. I guess that is two different ways to ask the same thing. Mine has a 5/1999 date of manufacture so I guess I have a "base".

 

Trying to find miscellaneous parts for my 99 ES 300 Coach edition. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

Be aware that California cars may have slightly different components. Especially relating to emission and exhaust systems, and possibly Engine/Transmission Computers
