Hi house,
Please who knows the cost of maintaining a Lexus jeep- RX 300, 1999 model and does it have a fuel economy?

SUVs (Jeeps) relatively don't have good fuel economy including RX300.

cost of maintaining a car is relative not fixed for same car driven by same person for same distance. but cost of maintenance can be identical.

maintenance for engine
full synthetic oil and filter for 6months/8000km is around 18k to 25k depending on brand you are buying. 5litres would be ok for the 1MZ.

Then you may need to change gear the total MVLV fluid would do the trick at 3500/L you will need 4L.

since yours is the 1999 model your exact engine should be the 1MZ without VVTI

fuel economy is

12L per 100km city and 10L per 100km highway your vehicle could do better depending on condition of vehicle, load car is carrying and traffic conditions.

Fuel economy only and SUVs don't go hand in hand. Why not join our whatsapp group to learn more and keep up to maintenance of your car.

yes I have seen where my mistake stems from. The harrier V6 uses non VVTi while the US market doesn't.

The funny thing is that I have see highlander also with this non VVTI engine and according to Toyota they never fitted it with it. Guess it's a way for kazeem to cut cost

I doubt 1mz will give this good fuel economy

Okay thats super cool, i do 1L to 11km on my Yaris and certainly much lower than that on my 1mz highlander. By the way what body is your 1mz engine carrying? an SUV or Sedan?

Toyota sienna 2000, if your Highlander is AWD then you shouldn't expect something close to the sienna. only the fwd Highlander or RX has identical fuel economy.

Also depending on what 1mz you have whether it's vvti or non vvti then ofcourse any highway speed greater than 90km/h don't expect anything close to manufacturer stats.

manufacturer stats for highway is between 60 to 90km/h

I guess that explains it then; mine is vvti/AWD and I get around 1L to 6/7km
