    This is my Lexus I heard Scotty say he moved to my town so when I got a Lexus I took it over to his house. His crescent shaped driveway full of Toyotas he’s polished to perfection. They twinkle and sparkle😆One thing I always liked as a Toyota fan is the confirmation bias I get from Scotty telling what I already know about superiority of Toyota engineering. Evidently I didn’t make a mistake. I asked him to tell me what parts I need to get the car ready to roll. He couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I didn’t expect to find one with such low miles. Anyway he’s exactly the same in person that’s the other thing I like. He doesn’t pretend to be anything else but who he is. Weird thing is I realized my money is of no use to him. What’s he going to do with money?😆 So hopefully he benefits from this video.Whatever it is he’s certainly earned it. Thanks Scotty!(2003 ES300 is on the way for work vehicle. Black n red interior. It’s real nice)

    The reason some 4 cylinder turbos get a bad name is mainly due to bad maintenance. If you listen to the manufacturers and try to run them on the extended oil drain intervals, that's how you end up killing the turbocharger. The oil lines get clogged with gunk, and the turbos become underfed, or the gunk build up creates additional friction and heat, and they eventually let go. Make sure to use quality full synthetic oil and quality oil filters, and change it every 3000-5000 miles and you'll have no problem making the engine last. Personally I have no problem with even having to change the turbo itself if and when needed. Its usually under $2,000. For me it's worth it to change something like that every 150-200K miles for the performance and tunability it offers.

    The ES350 that I purchased back in 2012, which now has 80,000 miles, has had flawless performance in every respect, including a quiet, luxury ride and plenty of smooth acceleration at any speed. I can't imagine a better car. The only very minor compromise that I've noticed with it is that it takes sharp curves more like a boat than a sports car. Well, it's probably hard to have everything for less than $100K. And the Lexus dealer has tried selling replacement parts that the car doesn't need (at least yet). I thought I'd be replacing this car in ten years, as I've always done with my cars in the past. But given my experience with the ES 350, that's now completely out of the question.

    The B2324 4 cylinder engine they put in the Saab 9000 was bullet proof, and plenty smooth with a counter-rotating balancing chain. Reached peak torque at 1800rpm, came with 225HP/252ft-lb stock, the majority of them later tuned to 300HP+ and ran for half a million miles without blinking. Mine had that much on it when I sold it a few years ago, and I still wish I had kept it and restored it (succumbed to rust and my wife's insistence at having side airbags). Problems with the engine or turbo were exceedingly rare. Ironically, the V6 variant of the car was the one with the poor reputation, and everyone knew to avoid it.

    I've been thinking this for quite some time. Not just Toyota/Lexus but other manufacturers (BMW, Buick, Chevy, Ford, and more) put smaller displacement turbos in mid/full size cars, crossovers, and mid-size SUV's trying to keep the performance decent/good while boosting the mileage. But they only deliver good mileage off-boost, and since the engine in naturally aspirated form is undersized/underpowered for the vehicle, drivers will tend to drive at higher-RPM's where they have some boost. which puts the fuel economy right back where it would have been with a bigger engine. Also, power delivery is peaky (mostly a problem with little I4 Turbos trying to lug a crossover or SUV around), they're noisier, and they tend to wear out sooner because of the stresses turbocharging puts on an engine. So, compared to older models with V6 and V8 engines you get a car with a noisy, less refined engine that's harder to drive smoothly, won't last as long, and improves your mileage by only a tiny amount, if any at all.

Gas consumption is still the same as when I bought it and it never looses oil during interval oil changes at 5K miles. They built those vehicles well those times.

    I just bought a 2023 Lexus GX460, which is basically the same model they've been selling for the last 10 years. Old school NA V-8, great build-quality, and actually made in Japan. I fear this is the last of an era for Lexus as the next generation will have those awful turbo V-6s they already started using in the new Tundras. I've only had it for a few months so far, but I've been thrilled with it so far and think it's gonna one of those 20-year long-haulers.

    I recently purchased a 2023 GX due to the reliable smooth v8, but I'll be selling it soon due to its AWFUL small cargo area and 3rd row, swinging rear door, no storage compartments, and its poor cornering. It's a reliable vehicle with a very poor cargo design. I wish lexus would make a true 3-row suv with a naturally aspirated engine that gets around 20 mpg. They're about to lose another customer. I'm seriously considering buying the newly designed 2023 Honda Pilot Elite instead. Much better design in every way it seems...

    For the record, I'm very much ANTI-tuhrboh, at least in GAS cars (they definitely have their place in diesels). That said, one advantage a FWD blown 4 has over a comparably powered FWD V6 is weight distribution. The FWD V6 will be significantly nose-heavier and will understeer more. The 4 will have better F-R weight balance and thus more neutral handling. Probably the tuhrboh's only real-world advantage.

So replaced the catalytic converters, 2 off the engine and the 2 attached to the muffler pipes. Now all the lights are tripped. Took to Lexus they scanned the car. Replaced the relay sensor, lights came off then went back on. So Lexus understood that the engine manifold with cats was replaced but not the original part. So they suggested welding all openings on it. I have more power now, yeah, got home and the lights came back on the dashboard. What do you suggest?
