Another log on the fire ? Think about it...Nothing in a bottle can turn a wrench ;) Mods, This is no longer a contributing thread.............

No clue; but, I think when the word "crap" was posted, it was all down hill...LOL I think you are on the right track. :whistles:

Nice job How long did it take you ?

I agree that it shouldn't be ticking, but I'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than having any dealer find/fix/ let alone admit to a problem based on ticking. The oil did look clean when i purchased the car, probably because the seller just changed it. I'm not even sure if the loud idle has anything to do with sticky lifters, that assumption was just based on someone's two cents. I appreciate all the feedback though, thanks! I guess I'll give the Ralley Dealership in NY a shot. As I have stated before oil color is not integral of anything. In all due respect the state of Texus gave Lube control millions to devopled there product called Fp. Also the oil testing house called dyson analysis does not think this stuff is "crap". Also some chemist seems to like it. So case-in-point, I would do some reading before calling anthing "crap". The topic is starting to sound like a typical "LOC OIL" bashing thread. I wonder why ???

Does the headunit have a cd button ? Was there ever a cd changer in the car ?

Slightly better gas milage and it feels a bit peppier, Although I don't document the information. I am sure you will be happy with the filter.

If it is a new filter then you are ok ( they are pre-oiled from the factory ), Just never over oil the filter in the future. I have been using K&N air filters for years with no problem.

Yes, I have the complete nav system for your es330. Headunit, gps map The silver es330 navigation faceplate, gps antenna, voice nav amp, And all wiring and instructions to hook it up to either mark levinson system or pioneer system. Either email me, pm me or leave your contact info.

I have used rain-x for years now. Never tried aquapel nor have I seen it in stores. ( Not that I looked for it either )

You had me on that one nc211, Actually a helpful site: http://www.hammerzone.com/

Like it is said " Better Late Than Never " Thanx indiasfinest

How did it get on both doors ?

What year LS430 ? I may be able to get an amp for you.

Do you already have the nav ?

indiasfinest, Have a great B-Day ( That is a soda pop for you )

Thanks to all for the resources and information. No prob here, Let us know how the project goes.

Here is more if it can be of some help. ls400_diff.pdf ls400_diff1.pdf ls400_diff2.pdf ls400_diff3.pdf ls400_diff4.pdf

The manual is wrong. You don't have to remove the axle shafts to replace the struts. I like that idea quite a bit better actually! Have you (or anyone else here) been successful that this? If the rear struts will slide out without having to pull the axle shafts off, I could probably do all 4 in one day. Thanks for the tip. This is for a 91, I am sure it is the same. 91_ls400_strut.pdf LS400_SHOCKS.pdf LS400_SHOCKS_REAR.pdf

No prob, I went through the same thing. PITA, Missed a day of work, But better than replacing the starter.Happy to hear that it was a simple fix.

Sounds like you had a blast

Everyone, Sooner or later...............

Great fix, Although some owners are not inclined to tinker with electronics. If it is broke then why not look into it ? What is the loss.

There are topics on this subject. I burn premium, There is a difference in my experience.

I posted a similar topic last year on those tires, Haven't heard much since. It isn't a bad idea though. :whistles:

Thanx denslexusgx470, Had a Great Day. ( Yardwork, Work, Work, Work, Now I'll have a cold one )
