maybe i should try valvoline next time, what kinda oil does Lexus service use? does anyone know? Lexus uses Castrol 10W40. I would change engine oil + oil filter every 5,000 - 7,500 kms (I do 7,500 kms myself). Even Lexus states this under "Additional Service" or other manufacturers call it "Serve Conditions". Best Recommendation to all is to provide your own oil when servicing and to use Full Synthetic Engine Oil. eg. Motul, Mobil 1, etc I know my dealer charges $70 extra for full synthetic.I think its 5W40 They use it in the ISFs.Or just bring your own they should deduct the amount off your service bill and note it on your invoice.

Yes, use a 10W-30 for the reasons given above, and a full synthetic for the same reasons that are always given for using a full synthetic over a semi-mineral. The engine in the IS 350 has port injection as well as DI, so it doesn't face the same carbon buildup issues. I would use the oil grade recommended in the Owners Manual. Thanks for your input Lance.You've gone a fair way to clearing up the engine oil issues in the IS250.I did ask my service dept.what oil they use.10W40 semi synthetic!!!

Looks legal to me.You can go with F sport springs(approx.15mm drop i think) or go with Eibach/H&R springs and Bilstein/Koni setup(approx.30-35mm drop).I had this on an Accord Euro and it transformed the car handlingwise.Wasn't much firmer than stock when driving normally either.It was when you pushed the car you noticed the difference.It was like it was on rails round corners.

Sounds good.Saturday meet is also good.Somewhere there is a cafe/snacks would also be a good idea.
