  1. i have a small basin that i put on top of the skid plate to catch the oil from the filter I also tried the small basin but unfortunately without success and ended up with more oil on me then in the basin. I tried to remove the skid plate and was able to take out all of the screws but still couldn't remove it. There must be a hook holding everything on. I used a Wal-mart filter cap wrench that fits on a ratchet about $4. Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to try a half piece of alluminum ductwork that may slide under the filter and channel the fluids outside of the plate. If it works I'll post it!
  2. Took delivery of my '06 Gx on 7/24/06. Just did the first oil change myself, but I'm wondering how the rest of you are avoiding the oil spill on the skid plate. Are you removing that assembly or is there an aftermarket sheild that fits in there to divert the oil away from the cage/plate assembly. If there isn't one available I'm going to fabricate one. I spent more time cleaning the bottom end than actually performing the change. Also I'm looking for a wrench that fits on the end of the filter so I can use a ratchet and an extension from outside the caged area due to limited space. Does anyone know some tricks that the Lexus Techs do to simplify this task? Thanks, Tim
  3. Thanks, that link was perfect. Good enough that I think I can do the mod myself!
  4. The dealer told me that it is possible (with modifications) to have a DVD play on the Nav screen while the vehicle is in motion. Anyone hear of this or know how?
