Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Lexus ES 350 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus ES 350 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to deliver robust defense for your engine and gearbox. Made from high-quality materials, this protection is available in two options: 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). Think of it as a shield for your oil pan, providing essential coverage against road hazards. Ensure the longevity and reliability of your vehicle with this expertly engineered accessory.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers critical areas including the engine and gearbox, ensuring that essential components are shielded from potential damage. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal temperature regulation. Additionally, service access openings allow for convenient maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively guard against impacts from rocks, curbs, and other road debris that can threaten your vehicle's integrity. By installing this protection, you not only minimize the risk of costly repairs but also improve your vehicle's aerodynamics, which can lead to better fuel efficiency. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
