The 2GR-FE engine is adopted. For details, see page. D The 2GR-FE is a 3.5-liter, 24-valve DOHC V6 engine. D This engine uses a Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system, DIS (Direct Ignition System), ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System) and ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent). D These control unctions achieve improved engine perormance, uel economy, and cleaner emissions.
3. Automatic Transaxle RX350 OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES 3 The same transaxles, with minor speciication dierences, are available in the RX350 as in the previous RX330/300. A U5F automatic transaxle is available or the RX350. The Fluid type has changed rom the ATF T-IV to TOYOTA ATF WS. D TOYOTA ATF WS is used to reduce the resistance to low o the ATF and improve uel economy by reducing its viscosity in the practical operating temperature range. At the high-temperature end o this range, the viscosity is the same as that o ATF T-IV, ensuring the durability o the automatic transmission. D There is no interchangeability between TOYOTA ATF WS and other types o ATF (ATF T-IV, D-II). Viscosity Reduced Viscosity : ATF T-IV : TOYOTA ATF WS High High Temperature 259LSK03 Speciications o the U5F automatic transaxle has been changed as ollows: " Speciications A Model New Previous Engine 2GR-FE MZ-FE, 3MZ-FE Transaxle U5F U5F st 4.235 4.235 2nd 2.360 2.360 3rd.57.57 Gear Ratio* 4th.047.047 5th 0.756 0.756 Reverse 3.378 3.378 Dierential Gear Ratio 3.29 3.478 Fluid Capacity* 2 liters (US qts, Imp. qts) 9.0 (9.5, 7.9) 9.

The MF2AV transer is similar to the conventional MF2A transer, however, the MF2AV transer contains a viscous coupling type LSD (Limited Slip Dierential). D The MF2AV transer uses a viscous coupling to achieve the slip limiting eect or the center dierential. Viscous Coupling LSD New (MF2AV Transer) 0270CH07Y Previous (MF2A Transer) 0270CH06Y 5.
