Toyota/Lexus engine interchange?

For those who know...


I have a 2000 Rx300 2WD with 147K miles. Car runs fine except the following problem.


CEL is on (P1351). Had an oil pressure light last week. Took it to a shop, they dropped the oil pan and there was a fair amount of metal debris in the pan. CEL came on after this oil pan/screen cleaning service.


I%26#039;m told the engine is shot and there isn%26#039;t enough oil pressure to run the VVT system.


So I need a new engine.


Question is, is the %26#039;00 to %26#039;03 RX300 engine the same as the Es300, Camry Avalon for similar years?

you say tomata i say tomato, it is the same engine but wiring loom and ecu may not be compatible.


best thing to do is ring around engine importers and get the majority opinion.(as many will have no clue)
Reply:Most likely the Highlander engine will be the same, except some of the computer hook ups may be different. The Lexus has a few more gadgets than a Toyota. The best way to tell for sure is check with an auto salvage yard. Most yards will have an interchange book that tells them what can fit what.
