They are well balanced I would say, not too aggressive but also not settled

You are right, this was indeed a snip under the Diesel section. Here is the gasoline section

Per GCC manual, below us the recommended viscosity options: 0W-20 5W-30 0W-30.

There are very few LC300 variants that came with OEM winch configuration. It's indeed interesting to see this in an LX as Toyota never spec'd V35A-FTS engines with a winch as something dealers can request and quote.

Just wrap the pin where the clamp snaps on in some felt and you should be golden. It's the same in 200s.

Interesting, did you notice air flow reduction as a result? This is good to know but perhaps not worth the purchase.. will keep it in mind i case i know someone who has it.

FWIW, if you get Carista, you can change an option for the seat's AC fan and set it to high silent. I did that and no longer hear it.

Alright, let me share my personal take on the Lc300 after +2 years of ownership. I'll only address my rants but also the workaround the issues for general benefit. Comfort & Usability Ventilated seats: fan noise is loud and distracting...
