The time has come to do ATF drain and fill. After tedious procedure of level adjustment here are the pictures of AmsOil SS ATF fluid after 5.5 years and a bit over 30k miles. No change in transmission shift behavior or smoothness feel. Still works like the day after I change the whole amount of...

Depending on how deep "spiderweb cracks" are I would either send it with 400 -> 600 -> 800 grits and would coat it with 2K clear or replace lenses with these of ebay. Both options are labor intensive but relatively cheep. IMO wouldn't waste time on "magic" headlight restoration kits. If there...

Hmm .. didn't think of turbo-diesels with higher intake pressures. But honestly surprised, gas version air box seems to be really sturdy with balanced clamping springs at all 4 corners, it always feels like it is crushing filter edge gasket quite nicely against the intake half. That made me...

That is oddly large amount of crap in the TB pipe. I cleaned my TB at 60k miles and the was virtually 0 build up of any kind. A little smidges of fine black dust hardly noticeable on paper towels. There was a myth about original filter box not properly sealing the air filter or something, but...

Yeap, I had the similar experience with box kits. It never lasted more then 6-7 month. Another option was to 'bake' the headlight and replace the whole lens. But that is also a very time consuming and difficult process. I wish manufacturers would make a lens as a separate part that was connected...

No, was not going to do whole write up. But before I started sanding headlights looked good overall. Except couple scratches and bug etching stains and clear coat peeling on the top of the left headlight, everything looked quite nice. I didn't have major discoloration or hazing.

Here are some photos

bloc Not sure if you did your headlights yet. Just want to share. I recently did mine on 2017 LX570 with 2K clear coat. I had original clear coat peeled off on one of the headlights (damn Florida sun). I took the front bumper off, did 3 step wet sending with 600, 800 and 1000 grits making sure...

I have bought Toyota True Start27F battery via parts.toyota.com yesterday with pick up from the local Toyota dealer. Let’s see how it does. My previous battery finally died couple days ago it was Lexus 27F battery installed by the dealer 01/21 and dated 09/20. Under the Lexus stickers there was...

Agree with gasman4u here. Why bother wasting time cleaning/washing. "El Chepo" paper filter goes into trashcan every second oil change after pollen season new one goes in the car. IMHO the whole K&N all about sales gimmicks, would not consider anything they have for a daily driver.

Guys, I jumped on the “band wagon” and did, my coolant today. Here is a test strip picture. What seems to be added for me is that new coolant out of the bottle was close to natural pH and the one drained was closer to Alkaline first and last strips are control and didn’t dry yet, after they...

Just want to add to conversation. I just replaced front rotors, pads and pins with springs on my 2017 LX570. There reason been excessive vibration in steering wheel while braking off the highway speeds. Another symptom was a sporadic brake squeal before brakes warm up. Old rotors have been...

Well... welcome to the club. Here is toyota part number 15620-0S010. These are vehicle fitments: 2008-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 8 Cyl 5.7L 2008-2022 Toyota Sequoia Limited, Platinum, SR5|8 Cyl 4.6L, 8 Cyl 5.7L 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra Limited, Platinum, SR5|8 Cyl 4.6L, 8 Cyl 5.7L 2008-2021 Lexus...

lx200inAR Yeap, I am aware of recirculation door thing and locked my glovebox both time I left it at the dealer. I ordered the filter online at toyota.parts and picked up from the dealer. Wonder what brand of filter did you use?
