Engine Q&A 2004 Lexus GS300

  • Why does the check engine light in my GS300 turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your GS300 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Lexus GS300 making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Lexus GS300 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Lexus GS300 engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I use water in my Lexus GS300 radiator? It’s not recommended you put water in your GS300 radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.
  • What could cause my GS300 engine to suddenly stop? Reasons your GS300 car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
