hi, there 1) Oil filter can be purchased from repco. Its model is 2664P and should cost you about $32 (Lexus will sell it for a few folds). Both the Lexus and repco ones are similar in that they are made out of some sort of paper material which you replace at each oil change 2) IS 250 takes up 6.5 litres of 5w30 oil. Not sure if Lexus dealers put in fully synthetic (as I have enquired with the service rep and it's either he was clueless or did not want to disclose anything) but ours runs on mobil 1 fully synthetic oil. For our recent service (our IS250 just passed its warranty period), I brought the car to my regular performance shop (that is known for thorough workmanship on performance cars) . Car runs as smooth as ever and the cost was about 60% of what Lexus charges. www.realautoparts.com.au - Find, buy and sell car parts in a few simple clicks!

Hello, David that sounds good! thanks in advance. I will let you know if i do go down this path with the VAIS. I am looking around a few other sites for an ipod connector that links into the AUX port.

hello, Atlantis thanks for the reply. That's positive and good paving the way for the rest of us. like mister_david, i have also been using the AUX. Sound quality is good to me and doesn't bother me but since the integration is possible and we can DIY, i might look into it further.

has anybody done the installation themselves? I would like to see how complex is it to get the audio head unit on a Lexus is250 (pre 2009) out. thanks

/yes I got it done :) you got pm

Have you not read through the 3 pages of posts this thread has? I've even got a post in the same page as this (ie post #32) indicating the price and mileage.

good answer if I was asking for choice between DBA rotors and other rotors ( I love DBAs by the way on my other car). Nevertheless, as I was asking, would braking still be fairly "squel-less" with a combination of Lucas pads and DBA street rotors? Anyone? thanks :)

Car: IS 250 I just brought mine into the dealer for a 60,000km service. Pretty happy with the performance of the stock rotors/pads. They quoted $805 for new rotors and pads. does anyone know what company makes the OEM rotors and pads for the IS 250? I just want a replacement such that it is still silent and the performance of the stock set up is pretty good IMO. I'm thinking of using DBA street series rotors(DBA 2726) and Lucas pads . Anyone with this combination?

You got a message. Please check your "messages" :)

where did you get it done? Can you please pass an address? thanks Well we put Sumitomo's on the Rx300 and they were around $150 tyre fitted etc. The rims are 16's on the rx300/harrier so not sure if they make them for the RX330.
