I live in a dusty environment and go into desert trails often, wix has a pre-filter thats helpful. Otherwise the stock filter is fine.

Take note that your fuel trims adjust as the air filter gets dirty. Anytime I change my filters I disconnect the battery to reset my trims. You can also just keep driving and they will adjust over time but i’m just impatient lol.

Send samples to blackstone as well. With some driving styles and good quality oil, I started to get the green light to extend my oil intervals with my previous Lexus. Still running great at 250k miles. Started using the new valvoline restore and protect.

Most big map apps can have a 2-5% speedometer variance due to elevation, polling time and satellite coverage. Lots of articles on speedometer variances within the past 10 years, usually reading faster than you’re traveling. As long as your odometer accurately measures a mile, you should be fine.

These high compression engines really do a number on spark plugs. Same thing with my IS. I tried to wait 10k more miles but it started to run poorly.

I would imagine the total draw with the electronic steering rack would be too much for the alternator/battery.

I’ve been messing with the settings, and found some improvements with adjusting the eq. I used to have the bass at +4, mids at +1 and treble at -1. I had been hearing some clipping at higher volumes and was wondering if the amp could push better lows if i reduced the total system demand. I’ve...

Just went on a 5 day trip away from home and when I went to start up the gx, the fans ramped up to 100% for a few seconds and calmed back down. The harsh downshift at stop has completely resolved for the past few days. Are we getting OTA updates?

If you have it in Auto mode, the A/C button wont light up. In the climate menus, there is an auto a/c option that should be checked on from the factory.

If you exit going instead to the left, does the same happen to that corner?

My guess would be the compression is enough to activate the KDSS in some way, but usually you would feel more "floaty" and not locked into a compressed state? I would try to stop as soon as it happened and take pictures of it if possible.

Started around 7k miles when I started driving in town more and had more abrupt stops. For the past two weeks, i've been really letting it coast and stopping as gradually as possible, which seems to have worked.

Are you talking about the noise the automatic parking breaks make?

I had this issue when I first picked up mine, I just adjusted the front rubber stops to the highest point where the hood could barely close and it went away.

With the amp being buried under carpet, I would feel it’s getting too hot and being over driven. Its not ideal but better than clipping the amp and losing a speaker. Try keeping the bass on half and lower the treble and mids to give yourself more headroom.
