Hello, just bought a 2008 RX400h. (my awd IS250 died in a crash).....anyway, have been lurking here for quite a while and found this forum to be quite helpful.
I have a question to anyone who might be able to shed some light on the subject.
If my daily commute to work is like 1.5 miles (which means 3 miles in total), wouldn't the engine have a hard time since it doesn't get fully warmed up then it has to stop? I do however take her for a 15 or so miles over the weekend and take her for a 175 mile trip twice a month. would that somehow clean up the sludge build up from the "short trips"? How often should I change my oil? and when I do, should I change to synthetic (since I go to Canada at times)? Is there some sort of a heat recovery system similar to the RX450h? Lots of questions, I hope someone can help me. Thanks.
