All any of us need do is to follow the maintenance plan/schedule Lexus laid out in the maintenance/service book. Don't do an oil change because you think you know better. Don't do an oil change at a different time/mileage. Do the maintenance when the book says too. What is the worst thing...

'24 OT - Not me - Sounds like it! :)

Don't engage/lock the differentials unless you are on a surface that can accommodate the left tires/wheels/axles turning at different speeds than the right tires/wheels/axles and then we have the center locking differential. Remember the radius of one side of the vehicle is greater than/less...

I don't have pictures of my M.Fs. but, if you have seen the black MFs from the Lexus dealer, mine look just like them. They fit perfectly, attach easily and stand up to wind etc... that I thought might be a problem.

Excellent post. For those that want to change S-Flow to default to OFF, talk to your dealer. I have my 1 year PM coming up and have scheduled the dealer to make the change to have S-Flow always off rather than to go back to ON after the one hour with engine OFF. Just talk to the dealer.

Just make sure the S-Flow switch is TURNED OFF every time you get into the vehicle. The vehicle will turn the S-Flow back on after one hour of the engine being off. You can get your dealer to set the S-Flow to OFF as default. That is in another set of HVAC comments her on the forum. Good Luck!

Good, detailed job. Follow the manual, plan it out before getting in the vehicle - which sounds to me you did.

In Human Performance, a person is attracted to a flashing light much quicker than a steady shining light. Even red lights. I am sorry you get irrationally angry when you get behind a vehicle that has the flashing light - it only flashes about four or five times then it goes steady on like a...

Hey, Man! Thanks for that info. My next service I'll ask for that.

It would be interesting to know about the replacement engine - did it "blow" due to the same reason as the originally installed engine. I have a neighbor that has very recently had to replace the engine in his Tahoe. GM has had a terrible time with the L87 V-8 in MANY of the Tahoes. After he...

If you leave Recirculation ON, which means the fresh air intake is CLOSED, the inside cabin air will, over time, begin to condense on the interior side of the windows i.e. "fog over". The Fresh Air damper should remain OPEN when possible. "system off and I start moving it seems like air flow is...

If the replacement engines are "the same defective engine" Toyota/Lexus must have made a whole lot of them and stashed them in a warehouse somewhere. I give some credit to Lexus knowing not to swap out a bad engine for a - bad engine. But hey, even GM knows better than that..... Naw - they...

I want to change out the bulb or add a pulsing modulator to the High Mount/3rd Brake light so the light will flash when braking. Has anyone performed this mod? Has anyone looked into adding a pulsing modulator? Morimoto makes a pulsing modulator that is "plug-n-play". Uses "factory" type wiring...

Follow Lexus miles/annual recommendation. If you hit 10k first, change the oil. If you hit 12 months since oil change, change the oil. Simple. :)

You should be able to search this forum and find LOTS of A/C discussion. Someone already said keep the S-Flow switch off - every time you crank your car, you should check the S-Flow switch and ENSURE it is OFF. If your car is not cranked within one hour, the car itself will turn S-flow ON. So...
