  1. Thank you very much! It worked! save me a trip to the dealer! Very much appreciated Is this the Check Engine Light or the Oil Maint. Required Soon light? If it is the oil light, DON'T step on the brake. now, open the accessory control panel door. Make sure you odometer is displaying total miles (not trip A or B ). press and hold the reset button. Simultaneously press the engine start key two times (DO NOT have your foot on the brake as you do not want to start the car). You will see the words Oil Maint. Reset. Keep you finger on the reset button until these words go away. Then take your finger off the button and press the engine start button one more time to put the ignition in the off position. Now start the car like you would to see if you reset was successful. steviej
  2. Hi guys, How do I turn off the maintenance required light on GS430 2006? Help is much appreciated! Thanks
  3. Not suggested. If you put on a 245/45-18 tire instead of the stock 245/40-18, the car will travel 3.7% faster than what is displayed on the speedo. Most tire shops won't mount a set up that changes the speedo more than 2%. steviej I did mount mine at Discount Tire today..170 bucks for mounting, spin balancing, tpms rebuild....yuck...replace the 245/40/18 with 245/45/18...In deed, they seem to move faster :) The guy at the shop said that I shouldn't have any problem with the tires except I might experience premature/abnormal wear ...hmm..any body see any negative side effects of using these tires? Thanks
  4. I took my Lexus to the dealer for an oil change and that what the set in the car's maintenance system. The system keeps reminding me to to change the filter because it's set to expire at 3K and oil need to change at 5K. Seem very weird to me!!
  5. Why is there a difference in mileage of the engine oil and the oil filter; one is 5K and one only 3K? Should I have it change every 3K or 5K? Thanks
  6. Ok..My 2006 GS 430 is about 23K in mileage. I got no problem at all the last month. Since I had that wheel alignment..when I was driving between 75 and 80 mph, the steering wheel vibrating a lot. My gf sits on the passenger's seat and she can feel it. I took it back for re-alignment..and still the same problem occur. What should I do guys? Thanks
  7. Thank you very much guys..since It was too expensive I had Firestone replaced it with a regular one temporarily. I will give Lexus a call to see if they will cover for the expense. Very much appreciate!!
  8. Ok...Last two day..my GS430 showed a status of "Low Tire", I was trying to check by myself and found out that..air was leaking slowly on the front right wheel...noticed a broken stem valve...I called Lexus and they said that metal valve has a sensor in it..so it costs about 200-250 bucks to replace it...any suggestion guys? I don't want to spend that much on the valve..seriously...driving a luxury car..doesn't mean I got a lot of money like that.. :(
  9. Hi, I just bought a Lexus GS430 last month..run great so far..but today..just out of curiosity..I checked my coolant..and see it's below the "Low" level. Went to buy to refill...the shop advisor told me to take to Lexus dealer instead because it's still under factory warranty.. Do I have to take it to the Dealer or just refill it my self? What's going on with My Lexus..why is it Low on Coolant? Thanks guys
  10. Wow..quite similar here..looking for a black GS 430...bought the Frosty Mica...I love it..I'm also 27 and been driven a Honda Accord 98 for...almost 10 years...I'm still bonded with my Accord..but it's time for a new ride...I love this new GS 430....
  11. Do you guys know how much it cost for an extra key? I lost one last week Thanks
