What date do we need to confirm/RSVP by? -
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.

Bowen Yong, I have no idea on which pads are good. It's just generally well known that the Bendix Ultimates are dusty - a Bendix rep had said this in a Ford forum: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?p=3943692 Are Bendix brake pads dusty? Is Bendix heavy duty a better option, for member who requires less dust? As a whole, Bendix brake pads are very specifically NOT dusty. That is, we have our mainstream product line, General CT, which is not dusty. I think it's really important to squash any talk of "Bendix is dusty", because our core product absolutely isn't. On the other hand, Ultimate is dusty. Brake dust is mostly made up of rotor iron. I should add that I just bought the Bendix General CT yesterday and will have them installed on Tuesday. I'm a pretty sedate driver, so the Ultimates were just overkill for me. The General CTs were inexpensive, and besides, I hate the how dusty the OEM pads are. Overall, I purchased the following: 2x DBA2726S (DBA Slotted Rotors) $330.00 DB1852GCT (Bendix Front General CT Brake Pads) $82.00 DB1854GCT (Bendix Rear General CT Brake Pads) $82.00 Total: $494.00
