  1. Has anyone here ever personally cleaned the engine on their LS400? My old 1990 LS400 had a very clean engine, so it was never an issue, but the 1991 LS400 that I am in the process of likely purchasing on Tuesday has a rather dusty engine. Not greasy or anything, but dusty- which is good... I would rather not have a "freshly cleaned" engine, but after I get it, I do not want it to stay that way. I am hesitant about getting water on a later model engine, so thats why I am questioning this. Should I just leave it alone? I am wondering if the Lexus dealers offer special engine cleaning? If anyone cleaned it, I would prefer it to be them... does anyone agree? Any advice appreciated!

    Bought a 1995 LS400 (Black on Black) with 131K. Engine was rather dusty and dirty. Every owner has their own views as to keeping an engine

    clean. I'm one of those owners that like to have a clean engine so as to spot leaks and/or problems in the future. I wipe as much of the engine as I can with some clean rags and brush sludge with a soft toothbrush using Simple Green as a cleaner. Simple Green is a mild, non-toxic degreaser that does a great job. Then use WD-40 and Armor All to make it shine. I've done this procedure on about 10 ten cars and have never had a problem and get complimented by the mechanics who who see it.

  2. Hello to All the Proud LS400 owners:

    Just purchased a 1995 LS400 with 130K miles. Need to find out the true facts on what size wheels I could upgrade to without altering

    the suspension. I've read so many stories that I'm really getting confused. I've got 225/60/16 wheels on the car now and am looking

    at possibly going to 245/45/18. Give me your expertise Club members

    Thanks- techmech74
