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

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.

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 2018 Lexus NX 300 service and repair manual is set by year, engine and trim, so every specification and torque value it gives is the one Lexus published for the turbocharged 2.0L four (8AR-FTS) in your car rather than a figure carried over from an adjacent model year or a different NX drivetrain.

Engines

  • 2.0L l4 GAS Turbocharged

Trims

  • Base
  • F Sport

Known issues on the 2018 NX 300. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel delivery system: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 22 complaints for the year, and Lexus has issued no technical service bulletins for it. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that fuel delivery system are here.

Whether you are tracing a stall back to fuel delivery or working through a scheduled service on the 2.0L turbo, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2018 NX 300.
