It's been a while since posting. I'm at a loss here. I need to replace the low beams. I was running the Hikari Ultra LED and now need to replace them. What are you guys running out there now. Not interest in HID conversion. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for chiming in. I followed the torque spec for the drain pan bolt and it snapped the thread welding in the pan. Along with that had a brain fart moment with the torque wrench and spec for the drain pan bolt. Oh well good excuse to put a new filter, gasket, and pan on. Overall drained...

Heads up, 2011 LX570 transmission service diy. Torque the drain plug to spec and it rounded out the pan. Ended up with a small leak. Ordered a new pan, pan bolts, oil strainer, and gaskets. Drilled a hole in the old pan to drain the fluid out of the pan carefully. Removed the pan bolts slowly...

2011 LX woth 210k miles. Popped the hood to inspect the engine and found oil residue around passenger side intake manifold. The weird thing is its on the intake manifold where the bolts are? You would think the residue would be below? I pulled the pcv valve and it's good. Ordered an intake...

Thought I would add. Found oil in plugs 1 and 2 driver side. I cleaned them out and did not find any oil in plug 1 and no new oil in plug 2. Gaskets were all hard as a rock. Probably could have waited buy glad to have got it done with new gaskets. Will do passenger side this weekend. Went to...

Finished up the driver side. In all about 3.5 hours including cleaning the valve cover and parts. I would expect an experienced shop to knock out the job in 2 hours. How do they come up with est $1350 per a side. It's insane stealing! Anyone know if the driver side is easier or tougher? I know...

Bought it back in 2013 with 30k miles. I've been using Mobil 0w-20 up until recently went to 5w-30 due to age and miles. Will be using Schaeffers 5w-30.

Finally got all the parts together and going to give it a go! Knocked the valley plate leak out a couple of years ago and no issues. This one seems like a much easier job. Dealer wanted $2700, which is a crock of s***! 2011 with 200k miles 5k oil changes and everything looks really good and...

Thanks

Color looks good, will they fit the LX570 seats?

Not sure how long I've been driving with oil in the spark plug tubes. Last time plugs were changed it was at 100k miles around 2017. Cleaned them out inspected them after a couple hundred miles and there wasn't too much oil in them. No misfire, no codes, and no white smoke. Change the oil and...

2011 with 200k miles heard a ticking noise from bank 1 after vehicle sat for more than usual. It was cold as well. I did an oil change less than 1k miles. Left the oil filter ran the engine idle for 10 - 15 minutes flushed it again 0w - 20, and refilled with 5w-30. Never ran 5w-30, and was...

Check out the car care nut on YouTube shows you how to do the fluid change on a sealed transmission. Performed it myself every change.

Nice find, where did you pick up the spare wheel looking to get a 5th one as well.

Gaskets at the top. Then see if that fixes the oil issue if they have to go to the tube seals they estimated $10k. Sounds ridiculous.
