  1. Thanks for the maintenance schedule. Exactly what I was looking for. I prefer to do maintenance myself as it's not difficult and enjoy doing it. I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of that definition but think I'm competent enought to do routine maintenance myself. If I switch to synthetic, under normal driving conditions, when should I change the oil? Also, do I need to have the engine "flushed" of conventional oil first? Or after a couple of synthetic changes, it'll drain out on it's own? Thanks. Also, anyone know how to reset the maintenance reminder indicator?
  2. I'm sure it'll make your car SOUND faster. Most CAI and exhaust combos will add aroun 10 hp, that's only about 5% increase for the IS 250 and will probably cost around $1k-$2K installed so not really worth it IMO.
  3. Hi all, I just bought an 06 IS 250 with 35K miles on it. I don't have the service records for it as the previous owner did not provide me with them. Anyways, just wondering what type of items I should have taken a look at. Can anyone provide a list of services that are provided at the major and minor services? I believe there was supposed to be a major service completed at around the 30K miles point but I would just like to know what that service entails? I mean for the minor service, I know a lot of places it's just an oil change, fluid top-ups and inspecting a few things. What does the dealership do every 5K miles? Also, I'm assuming that since it's a 5K mile oil change that it's not running synthetic? Any thoughts on switching to synthetic? Is it worth it or just following the regular maintenance schedule and products will be just as good? Thanks.
