  1. Anyone know a decent mechanic that does work with Lexus cars in Melbourne? I need to replace my brake pads soon but dont want to go to the dealer as it will cost me a lot of money.
  2. It really worry me servicing once a year. The car was last serviced at end of 2011. So it has been 4 months since it was last serviced. Just checked the oil it seems to be still pretty clear (ie. no debris). I will monitor it in the next few months to see how well the oil is going. If it is black and has a lot of contamination, I might just drain and fill the engine with new oil myself. Does anyone know if Lexus service allows you to bring your own oil? I usually use Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 for my last car. It is a very good oil.
  3. Hi All I just bought a second hand 2006 IS250 in black and very good condition. The car is excellent and love it so much compared to my previous car; 2009 Honda Accord. It is far more superior. No regret in purchasing it. I have got a couple of questions I hope someone could help me. 1. The service interval for the car is 12 months. I am just curious what sort of oil viscosity and brand do they put in the car? Most of Japanese cars service interval is 6months. I dont like the idea of 12months interval although it is much less hassle. 2. When putting the gear in N with foot-brake engaged (?), opening the door would set off the warning chime on the dash. Is there anyway to turn this warning off? Thanks.
