If you know the parts required, you can buy it from a wrecker. Much cheaper.

Can anyone recommend a place to get this done in the Sydney metropolitan area?

Don't use Internet Explorer. I'm using Chrome to quote you.

Wow how do you get it so high? What is your tank usage (km/100? ) do you use unleaded 95 or 98? I'm actually a really sedate driver. According to my car, I'm averaging 8.2litres / 100km city driving, although in reality it seems to be closer to 9 litres. I use 98 in summer and 95 in winter.

I have 18" wheels and can easily do over 650km on a tank full of petrol travelling to and from work, with a few litres still left in the tank. In December last year, I drove from Sydney to Melbourne without the need to refill, until I reached Melbourne.

I guess not many people compare prices. It's the same service at both dealerships, as it was the 45,000km log book service. And sadly, the $590 price was actually at my "regular" Lexus centre.

Hi Tony1234 I have just sent you a private message.

I rang two dealerships for my 45k service. The first one gave me a price of $590, the second one $480 - BIG difference!!

I re-encode my MP3s with AUDACITY before copying them onto a USB stick for my car. I have about 3000 songs in my car, and they all work.

Hi dis-lex-sic - I've already organised it. What I will say is that it *IS* worthwhile asking several different dealers as their prices do vary.

Reviving an old thread. So my factory warranty ends in a bit over 2 weeks time. Who do I contact for extended warranty? Does anyone have any particularly person/contact that they would recommend? Email address would be appreciated. I'm in the Sydney metro area. Thanks in advance.

What date do we need to confirm/RSVP by?

Please keep us updated.

Read what "Kurtz" has to say about that method in the following thread: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation/618722-i-had-my-transmission-fluid-changed-at-the-dealer-is350.html Also here: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation/643544-diy-transmission-fluid-change-question-for-is250.html Edit: A "full" transmission fluid change on the IS250 is 7.5 litres, and on the IS350 is 7.9 litres.

You can't, unless you have a part that replaces the heat exchanger built into the side of the transmission - and this is very specialised equipment that had not even been developed until a couple of years ago. Google it. Edit: you can only change a little at a time, you can't change all the fluid with the abovementioned.
