No, it is not an interference engine. The belt must be replaced at 90,000 miles. The water pump is driven by the cam belt, so replace the water pump at the same time. This will save you labor cost later on. The pump will not last much longer than the cam belt.
The 2000 Lexus GS 300 is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which is classified as a non-interference engine. This means that in the event of a timing belt failure, the engine's pistons and valves will not collide, preventing potential catastrophic damage. However, it is still important to maintain the timing belt to avoid engine performance issues.
Yes , the 3.0 liter V6 engine in a 1998 Lexus ES300 ( IS NOT ) an interference engine ( according to the Gates website - they make timing belts etc. )
No ( according to Gates - they manufacture timing belts etc. )

The 2001 Lexus RX 300 is equipped with a 3.0L V6 engine that has a timing belt, and it is classified as a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt were to fail, the engine's pistons and valves would not collide, preventing potential catastrophic damage. Regular maintenance of the timing belt is still important to avoid any issues.
The Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) shows ( 90,000 miles ) for the 1999 to 2003 Lexus ES 300 and also that it is NOT an interference engine
yes 1mz-fe
On a 2000 Lexus RX 300, the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PVC) valve is located on the valve cover, near the back of the engine. It is connected to the intake manifold via a rubber hose. To access it, you may need to remove some engine covers or components for better visibility and reach.
If its another ES 300, then yeah.
The oil filter on a 2000 Lexus RX 300 is located on the underside of the engine, near the oil pan. To access it, you'll typically need to lift the vehicle for better visibility and reach. It's positioned towards the front of the engine, making it relatively accessible for oil changes. Always ensure the engine is cool before attempting to locate or change the oil filter.
The starter is located on the left (drivers) side of the engine, below the exhaust manifold to the rear (near the firewall).
upto 3500 for a rebuild engine and 1500-2000 for a low mileage used.. plus labour which should be around 12 hours...
