Wow good to see your Lexus dealership seems honest. Mine charges 200$ for an oil change for my Lexus es300h, No loaners all the time unless it’s a major repair. Car wash down due to construction… lol
I have a 2021 which gets low 40s in the winter and low 50s in the summer. So far so good. I hope to have a similar long-term owner experience like you.
Curious what you have run for tires and your preferred brand?? My only complaint has been the OEM Bridgestones wearing quickly. Replaced with Goodyear Assurance but too loud. Suggestions would be appreciated.
I've been partial to Michelins on a car like this. they tend to be very quiet, well made tires. I've had good results from them. I also like Cooper tires. Similar results. That's what I have on it now.
No. That is not needed normally, and it's not even part of any Lexus service on these cars because it shouldn't be an issue. If you have a mechanic telling you this needs to be done go find another mechanic. It's a scam.
I've driven many ES 350s. They definitely feel more powerful. They have 68 more HP, so it is very noticeable. Obviously, the Hybrid's benefit is not in power but in fuel mileage.
@@caraddict829 One more question if you don't mind. Is the ES300h noiser or quieter than the ES350? I have a 2018 ES350 and a quiet and smooth ride is a major plus for me. I'm thinking of getting a 2024 or 2025 ES.
@@sktoh4469 In my opinion the ES350 is quieter. It doesn't have the hybrid system, which does make some noise, and the 4 cylinder in the ES300h is a little buzzy. It also has to work a lot harder, so you have to push it more than you would the V6. The new V6 makes even more power than it did in 2015, so it wouldn't need to work that hard to move the car.
@@sktoh4469 My pleasure! I think some of them just don't know very much about their subject matter. I know these cars well. I'm a car guy. This is what I love.
Great update! I recently joined the ES club when I picked up a 1-owner, 2016 300h. I'm averaging about the same MPG in the South.
Thank you! Enjoy your car! They are great vehicles!
Go into the trunk and check the hybrid battery filter and you’ll see how dirty it is as you can’t tell by looking at the vent inside the car.
Not that easy you need to take the fan unit apart

That newer gen with the bigger battery pack gets excellent gas mileage!

i just bought a 2013 es 300h at 127,000 miles, have you ever had to get the cooling fan for the hybrid battery cleaned out?

@@caraddict829 What year is your Lexus?
@@bmlove81 It's a 2015
I have 29-30mpg on my 2015 ES300h
Looks like needed change batteries
k110miles
I just purchased one. Hope I get better mpg than that. I read the average is 39 mpg.
That's what the window sticker read on mine, but remember all cars fuel mileage will go down slightly with age and mileage. This is normal.
Have you driven the ES350? Does it feel it has more power than the ES300h?

@@caraddict829 Thanks so much for your response. I've always thought that was the case but no YT reviewer seems to have made those points.

I get 39-42 mpg on my es300h.
