  1. Have used AMSOIL 100% Synthetics for over 20 years now & Never a problem of any kind because of the lube. AMSOIL SERIES 2000 & their new E Type oil filter, I feel I can not afford not to use it.
  2. AMSOIL since the 1st dealer oil change at 5K. Now have 100% synthetics in the RX. tranny, ft. & rear differentals too. 58K miles so far & counting.
  3. Did u ever add a additive to the gas to remove the carbon buildup? I use a additive about every 3rd or 4th tankfull & have never had a problem using 87 Octane fuel.
  4. The '04 has a total fill of 9.5 qts. & they used 13 qts in total to flush. Charged $80 & I supplied the AMSOIL. As a registered dealer I paid much less then retail for the ATF. Let me know if u need some, u can go to their website & click on to perferred customer, then use my reference #66180 & for $20 u can register & then purchase at wholesale for a year I believe. The more u order the more u save.
  5. JUST HAD TRANNY FLUSHED & PUT IN AMSOIL ATF. Can not believe how much better the tranny shifts. Like a new one. If you think u got tranny problems change the fluid I guess that can be the difference. Changed all the gear lubes & the tranny with synthetics at 50K
  6. Did anyone with this tranny problem have the fluid changed?? If so did you use synthetic fluid, AMSOIL, etc.?? I have not heard of any problems if the fluid was changed & synthetic put in.
  7. Have used AMSOIL for over 30 years now & never a problem. Just make sure that AMSOIL is recommended for your vehicle. I go to their web site & click on the red area in the center and type in my vehicle info & it tells me what I can use.
  8. Just changed the GL in the rear axle at 50K & was it dirty. Next job will be the front tranfer case. Hope it is a easy a job as the rear. Then will take it to a place that flushes the auto tranny & put 10 fresh qts. in. Using AMSOIL 100% synthetics for everything
  9. WALMART ?? What are you thinking, its a Lexus not a Yugo. You got what u paid for, cheap is cheap.
  10. We lease because we do like a new vehicle about every 3 years. The salesman said thats the way to go like you said. Little down & sell it for a profit if possible. This is the 1st lease we ever did. We can buy it for 23K & sell it for say 26K, sounds like the way to go. Then we have 3K to put down on a new one. Then we will lease again.
  11. What to do, our lease is up in 4 months. We need new tires & we have a very small stone crack that was repaired in the front window. Should we buy the car or just give it back. Will they charge me for new tires & a windshield? Our buyout price is low so we are thinking of purchasing it. Then we can put new tires on it & drive it another 50K. They said we should purchase a exptended warranty from them for about 1K for a 3yr/50K addition.
  12. Average around 23 MPG with 25% city & 75% highway. This is with synthetic oil too.
  13. CABIN AIR FILTER Cleaned the cabin air filter on the RX today. Was it dirty but the clogged light never came on. If I wouyld have had time I would have changed it. The filter is a lot cleaner now though.
  14. Had to have all my hinges replaced last month due to creaking noise. '03 RX. Tryed all kinds of sprays 1st. Dealer said it is a known problem.
