  1. Approx. 6 months ago bought a 2017 IS200t.great car but i find the stop/start annoying.Wondering if there's a way to switch it off via the centre console switch without it resetting to default on when car is switched off and restarted. Thanks Tony
  2. Most dealership service depts. buy Castrol in bulk and service your car with semi synthetic oil.Only if you ask and pay more do you get full synthetic. I change the oil and filter myself in between 12 mth.services. it's dead easy,just need the filter removal tool that you can buy on ebay for $6.
  3. I know it sounds strange so i'd suggest you talk to whoever services your car and see what they think. Changing oil and filter every 6 mths.is cheap insurance particularly if you plan to keep the car a while. I've never heard of engine damage from too frequent oil and filter changes.
  4. Hmmm, never heard that too frequent oil changes can harm an engine??? If you look in your service manual I'm sure it says for a car being driven under severe operating conditions,which i believe yours is they recommend 6 month oil and filter changes.
  5. Dealer i go to for service(Lexus of Sutherland) use 10W30 semi synthetic(Castrol) or you can pay extra for 5W40 full synthetic.So based on that when i book my car in for a service I've been supplying my own 5W30 full synthetic oil.Been using either Castrol Edge or Nulon. Due to the kms.you do i'd change the engine oil every 6 mths. instead of every 12.
  6. Got PS4s 225/40/18s on the front of my IS 250 approx.15 months ago put approx .10K on them paid $220 each. Quiet,nice and grippy particularly in the wet and wearing well so far. I recommend them.
  7. For rotors i'd get DBA part no.2726E For pads i'd get QFM HPX not sure of part no.Same pad fit Toyota Kluger i think.Remsa are good but bit aggressive on rotors Ive found. The above available from these guys. gslrallysport.com As bazzle suggested Subaru upper cylinder cleaner. For wiper blades just go to Repco.
  8. As bazzle said get a second opinion.A transmission flush may help. If the transmission is on the way out pm Danny here.He may be able to help with a 2nd hand one.
  9. This is good information for ALL Lexus owners.Can anyone recommend a workshop in Sutherland shire (Sydney)that can perform this? Danny is there anyone you can recommend? Thanks.
  10. Hi. I get mine serviced at Lexus of Sutherland.Good service reasonable price.I always supply the engine oil 5W30 full synthetic.engine takes approx.,6.3 litres. Here's a few quotes from mechanics in your area.Not sure what they're like. http://www.bestpricecarservice.com.au/Home.htm?cms.rm=SearchResults&proc.stage=V0N1G4&proc.ID=OT5PVUS5XIWPGQP
  11. Try Autoglym glass polish.Fixed my wipers skipping/grabbing on the screen.Think it's just an accumulation of road grime diesel etc.particularly if it hasn't rained for a while.
  12. ^^^^As above.ilv1004 s is right.Happened to me a few times with different cars over the years changing batteries etc.lower than normal idle even to the point of almost stalling.it's a bit unnerving when it happens the first time.
  13. T2s would be good for your car.Any pad would be better than the stock pads.They bite well but the dust they produce is terrible.
  14. DBA rotors and QFM HPX pads.Good street combo and nice progressive pad bite.Make sure you get DBA street series rotors with En-shield(so the hubs don't rust)
