Been running 5w30, thinking about switching everything to rotella t6 5w40, tractor, mower, Lexus, Nissan Chevy, everything

I did replace the pcv valve about a year ago. It didn’t rattle at all and I am sure it was original ( I had to break a little foam to remove it). My mpg went from 13 to 13, and my oil consumption seems the same. Thanks for the tip though.

Exactly what my brother in law ( engineer/ former diesel mechanic) told me. I will continue to monitor, thanks for the advice

Have a slight oil leak on 2008 lx570, probably add a quart every 3,000 miles. No drips on driveway but it’s definitely dripping on skid plates. All diff fluids changed recently and it looks like front main seal and both valve cover gaskets/ cam towers seeping. 245,000 miles, runs good, inclined...

I know old post, did you find an answer?

Oil change yesterday, tried to reset oil and filter and tire rotation. Can't go past year 2024. Can I update the head unit?

Got my new assemblies delivered today, one of them has the gf30 tee, the other is the gf35. I thought I read the entire thread and thought all the new assemblies had the updated tee? Realistically it shouldn’t matter, not likely that I will keep this rig for another 240,000 miles; just disappointed

Put the metal tee on with worm clamps just to keep on the road for now. Don’t like how loose the tees fit. My old ones were completely disintegrated, like cardboard more than plastic. I will just replace both assemblies when they come in. Sounds like it shouldn’t be a concern in the future, I...

Definitely next time. I’m going to see if bell can add them to my order

Definitely had ordered wrong parts, was able to cancel and reorder the proper parts, but more like$ 130 for both shipped. Didn't order the clamps though, $5 each for hose clamps? wth

I just looked at the part numbers from above, I tried to cancel my order and am going to verify the proper assembly

2008 lx570, heater tee broke, spring clamp broken also. I did just have starter replaced; so could be collateral damage. Ordered inlet and outlet assembly from Bell Lexus. $30 each with delivery, now I have to figure out the maze. 240,000 miles. Hoses look like new honestly

Old thread, but my 2008 started losing coolant. Started slow, but I noticed steam today. Heater tee broke. Got lucky, just drove a couple hundred miles on a trip.

not elegant by any stretch, but I used heavy duty velcro tape to attatch it to the slide out ash tray.
