I like Pennzoil ultra platinum for my Lux+.

I agree, I went with 600 miles as that was the end of the initial break in period. Toyota should have recommended that, but it is what it is. I won’t go past 5k on oil changes anyway. I watch a lot of The Motor Oil Geek on you tube along with the car care nut. Lots of good info.

On my 24 Lux + build date Apr 24 I was not included on the recall, hoping I have the improved #1 main bearing. I have changed my oil at 600, 1500, 5100, 10 k(dealer) 13.5k and 16.5 k. I have a trip from wa state to San Diego coming up, wanted fresh oil for the trip. Hoping all the oil changes...

I used the AMSOIL 75w-85 GL5 and went with Redline MT/ML 70/75 which meets the Toyota LF spec per Redlines website. I was going to use Liquid Moly but the Redline was available locally.

You would probably take a very small hit in gas mileage, as long as it meets the spec. I used amsoil to meet the 75w-85 spec.

Here goes, my GX has 16706 miles, just did the front/rear diffs today, have liquid moly 75W on order for the transfer case. Dropped the spare tire made it a lot easier to drain and fill. Need a 24 mm socket to remove. Man it was tight! Cripes! Used AMSOIL 75w-85. Squeeze bags worked well on...

New Toyota engine recall announced for 2024 tundras, approximately 44,000 affected. I bet that will include some GX 550’s. My 2024 Lux+ was not on the recall, early April manufacturing date, wondering now if I will be included.

Congratulations! Pic of my Lux+.

I am doing my diffs and xfer case at 15 k to dump all the break in metals out. May be overkill but it’s worth it to me. Using AMSOIL for the diffs and liquid moly for the xfer case.

Did a 3000 mile trip from Wa state to San Diego. Avg 20-21.5 going down about 17.5-18.5 on the way back , headwind most of the way. Have another Wa state to San Diego trip scheduled for Jun. running 275/50r-22 A/T tires.

Just saw on facebook GX 550 group, looks like a 24 OT+ that was under recall had an engine failure. Mileage 39 k. Driver had a message to pull over. Restarted the motor had a screeching noise. Towed to dealer they were able to replicate the noise. Apparently when the filter was cut open full of...

Use the tool provided in the kit, pics attached.

Redo console area more storage .

The kit is part of the cross bars, picture of mine attached.

Strange, the kit was a Lexus item for removal of the bars, I figured since the rack was a PIO that it was always included as part of the option package.
