Even my local Toyota dealership does this. I asked them and they replied that under warranty, they use the Toyota 75W fluid. Outside of warranty, they use BG Products 75W-80. I just did this service and used Mobil Delvac 1 75W-90 (no LS) for the diffs and Red Line MT-LV 70W/75W for the transfer...

I just purchasde a 2015 LX 570 from a state that did not require a front license plate. Usually it comes with the car in the tailgate compartment, but mine did not. Looking for anyone in a non-front license plate state not using theirs. Lexus wants $70 for the part.

I just bought a 2015 LX 570. It was registered its entire life in Alabama and Mississippi which do not require a front license plate. I'm about to register it in Texas which requires it. From reading other threads, I thought I would find the required bracket in the tail gate compartment, but...

The service data sheet from the factory service manual. It's interesting to me that 0W-20 is not even listed as an option for 3UR-FE.

I haven't read through the thread so don't know if this has been posted, but this is from the Service Data Sheet.

Well, in that case I guess there's no reason to drop the pan. Just flush out the fluid.

I plan to replace the transmission fluid and filter. I'm coming up with two part numbers for the filter: 35330-60060 and 35330-60070. There is a $15 price difference between the two. Any idea which one is correct? I have a 2015 LX 570. Also, can the pan gasket be reused or does it need to be...

Price drop to $600

Where can I find a maintenance schedule in pdf form? I've searched all over the Lexus website and it only provides it in a form that I have to select the mileage to get the recommended service. I'd like it in one big pdf up to 120k service. Like the booklet that is provided with the car.

Where in the repair manual did you find that section?

Brand new dealer take offs. $800 for the set. Should fit 2002-2023 LX, 2009-2013 GX, or 2007-2023 Land Cruiser.

Whether it's widespread or not, some screens yellow. Is it due to UV or heat? How can it be prevented. Headlights yellow due to UV so I suspected it's the same for the nav screen and some sort of film could protect it.

Yellowing seems to be a problem for the nav screen. I assume this is due to UV exposure. I've seen the thread on replacing the screen, but is there a protective film that has UV blocking characteristics? I have found screen protectors for scratches and dings, but no UV protection.

I purchased a 1993 Land Cruiser several years ago. It ran great for a couple of years. I started having issues with a rich code and problems with the distributor. About 6 months ago it wouldn't start so I parked it. I recently decided to work on it again, had a mechanic look at it who replaced...
