Well, just had my 90k service at Lexus of Chatswood, the price is very fair, brake fluid was like 2@$15.92 each, but the whole service did end up being around $1400 after everything so i dont really know if thats good enough for you.....but the service quality is the best!!! you get ur car cleaned, and get a new lexus for the time being, and the next day they ring u to ask is there any issues after the service..Superb service!

Shell V power 98 is rubbish, i dont feel any difference when i refuel with it, and even sometimes the car feel sluggish and it goes very fast! Definitely avoid Shell patrol station. I have been using Caltex Vortex 98, it's pretty good, no issues with it and sometimes right after the refuel, the engine feel much sharper, and i get this sharp feeling with BP ultimate 98 as well. No point fuelling with 95 cos theres like 3 cents difference.

So today i drop my car at Lexus of Chatswood to do the 90000km service, they give me the is350 for the day. I was very very impressed with the power of this car, its incredible! i gotta admit its much more fun driving the 350 than the 250 cos of the power difference! p.s the dealer asked me if i wanted to decarbonate the engine, is that a good thing to do? i mean it does require taking engine apart and reinstall it.

So tonight i was travelling through O'Connell st (the intersection of Argyle st) in parramatta, where i stopped at a red light, however when i stopped i noticed the red light camera just flashed me, and i was not speeding nor was i running a red light, and theres no other car around. Can this even be possible? has anyone experienced similar situation before? who do i compliant to if i do get a fine?

HAHA true that but the scary thing is that the engine oil level was that low and the car did not warn me until it was like well below the first dot..now i think i must check in on the oil level once in a while..and i think this engine consumes alright..in my dad's car the engine would consume all of the oil by the end of 5000km, crazy consumption but they say its normal for turbo charged cars

Did you notice any difference when you put the Valvoline oil? i did put 1L of Castrol Edge Titianium 5W-30 in it..and after i put it i feel my engine has gotten louder? it could be just my perception, not really sure. But honestly i dont think any engine oil would last for 15000km thats a bit too long i think, so still it is better to check engine oil regularly haha I know that now. I read the owner's manual it says it is best to use 5w-30 viscosity cos its got something to do with efficiency and cold start ability
