Regular price

Matched to the 2000 RX 300 specifically, this Lexus service and repair manual covers the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE) in both driveline configurations, so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic steps you work from are the ones Lexus published for this model year rather than figures carried over from an adjacent one.
Engines
- 3.0L V6 GAS Naturally Aspirated
Trims
- AWD
- FWD
Known issues on the 2000 RX 300. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year, four of them under exterior lighting and all four filed against lamps sold as replacement or aftermarket equipment rather than against the vehicle as built. Two cover combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies, one of those filed specifically against the headlights, where decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash. The other two also cover replacement lamps: corner lamps, turn signals and headlights in one case, and combination headlights, clear corner, bumper and side marker lights in the other. In both, some of the combination lamps are not equipped with amber side reflectors, and without the amber reflectors the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning. The fifth is filed under visibility, side and rear glass, and covers back glass sold as replacement equipment that fails the automotive glazing material requirements, a standard whose purpose is to reduce injuries resulting from impact to glazing surfaces. Owners have filed 216 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are on record for it. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are working through the exterior lighting, fitting replacement glass, or working a scheduled service on the 1MZ-FE, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your own 2000 RX 300.
