  1. Is it safe to download from bit torrent? You can get one for free online through any Bit Torrent, i believe there is Version 7.1, the latest available.
  2. Mobil 1 oil change and tire rotation only at my dealer cost $150. I think your dealer did your schedule maintenance too, which is inspect that and check this and that. Thats why the labor cost is so high. My dealer in Phoenix quoted $80 for Balancing and Rotation, I told him it was a rip off. Went to Discount tire they offered $40 for Balancing and Roataion for life. I took that offer.
  3. Hi, I am not sure if some one tried to breakin, or did the small driver side rear passenger window broke. Anyway does anyone know how much will it cost to replace? do I have to take it to the dealer? Can local windsheild replacement shops do it? Thanks,
  4. Hi, I am getting a faint metal scratching/sqeaking noise with the driver's side window down. It seems to be coming from around the front wheel side. Can someone help with any suggestion what this might be. Thx
  5. I am now getting 20 in City with Costco Premium gas in Phoenix for over a month, yes in stop an go conditions not highway. :D :D :D There is no way you can get that big of a difference in mileage lol. It does sound like a big leap. But if the factory specs call for 91, then it's possible you could see a drop in mileage using 87. In order to get a good comparison test, you'd have to carefully monitor the factors that can change A/F, gasoline/engine performance and use more than just a couple of tanks of fuel.... Was the gas used from the same brand and gas station? Was the test route driven exactly the same with the same MPH under the same driving conditions? Was the ambient air temp, RH, and barometric pressure the same? Did you measure and start with the exact same amount of gas in your tank? believe it or not proper tire inflation does increase mpg...
  6. Hi, I woulke to start a thread to know what grade of gasoline you use and why? If that grade gives u the best mileage. I used 87 and got 14 mpg , with 91 I get 18.5 mpg
  7. I hope u flew Emirates non-stop on the new 777-200LR flatbeds?
  8. Excellent article. I do put Mobil1 full synthetic in my VW. What weight do you suggest for GX470? living in Arizona? 5W-30 or 10W-30 or 5W-40 or 10W-40?
  9. I guess you are correct. The happy meter gives 17.5 while actual calculations bases on fillups give 15.5 . Why cant Lexus make the happy meter accurate?
  10. Does anyone has experience with above or similar ceramic tints? Are they really worth the price? $549 for GX?
  11. I was told by the Lexus service manager not to put Full Synthetic Oil. Can anyone comment?
  12. In city 17.5 - 18 mpg HWY 22mpg
  13. I dont know why you are suprised my GX gives me 17.5 - 18 mpg in city.
