  1. Oil color means nothing, absolutely nothing.
  2. Have the compression checked of your engine. How many miles are on it?
  3. Do NOT get the Hydroedge. It is a very noisy, harsh-riding tire. You would be much better served by running a set of Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires. I know from experience; I've had a set of both.
  4. Yes, it is necessary.
  5. For a rebuilt title he overpaid by a lot IMO.
  6. Well I encourage you to find a used low-mileage driveshaft if that's what it ends up being. Replacing the driveshaft eliminated most of the vibration for me.
  7. I can check my receipt tomorrow if you want the exact price, but it was over $300.
  8. Either that or he just doesn't know what he's talking about. I had the lower pan resealed 7 months ago which involves removing it and reinstalling it and they didn't have to pull the engine. This is on my 1995, which is mechanically identical to your 1996.
  9. Unless they changed the pan for VVT-i models you don't need to lift the engine to remove the lower oil pan. isnt the 98 and up VVT-I? Yes. I was referring to the fact that it's definitely not necessary on 1990-1997 models, but I don't know about 1998-2000 models.
  10. I posted on CL in your thread. I have what I believe is the same problem with the whistling noise and vibration. Please, please let me know what they find!
  11. Unless they changed the pan for VVT-i models you don't need to lift the engine to remove the lower oil pan.
  12. Super ugly wheels, do not belong on an LS430.
  13. Out of curiosity, who is your mechanic?
  14. Is the burning smell under the engine bay? Does the engine still sound like it's running on 8 cylinders?
