The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

Fitment for this 1997 Lexus LX 450 service and repair manual is fixed to this exact year, engine and trim, so the specifications and torque values it gives for the 4.5L inline-six (1FZ-FE) are the ones Lexus published for this truck rather than figures carried over from a neighboring model year.

Engines

  • 4.5L l6 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Base

Known issues on the 1997 LX 450. No recalls are on federal record for the 1997 LX 450. Owners have filed 7 complaints for the year, and Lexus has issued no technical service bulletins for it. Whatever system an individual complaint traces back to, the diagnostic and repair procedures behind it are here.

From a scheduled service interval on the 1FZ-FE to a driveline or brake job you would rather not guess your way through, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 1997 LX 450.

No active recalls The 1997 Lexus LX 450 has no recalls on file with NHTSA.
