    Owner Experience Thread - Miscellaneous

    I have this. I haven’t dealt with it yet. Quite a few comments online reporting a similar issue. So far on the 550, I’ve had the brakes fixed and transmission reprogrammed due to hard downshift into 1st. Next is to deal with the rattle.

    Extended Warranty

    I bought it for both the 600 and 550. I paid less than the above. I paid: $3015 for 8yr/100K on the 600 $3750 for 10yr/100k on the 550 I agree, Lexus rips us off on the warranty vs Toyota models which doesn’t make sense considering the Lexus factory portion is longer so you are paying a lot...

    RECALL 25LA07 (25LB07 Interim Notice) - Engine Recall - UPDATED: DEC 18, 2025

    I can’t believe they went all-in on the V35A without it being bulletproof. I’m confident in their design and testing, so maybe it is something in manufacturing. However, rumors of part number changes suggest differently. Just mind blowing that they stuck this engine in Tundras, LX600, GX550...

    RECALL 25LA07 (25LB07 Interim Notice) - Engine Recall - UPDATED: DEC 18, 2025

    I changed the oil in both the GX550 (10K) and LX600 (15K) yesterday. The LX had more metal shavings than I would have expected. I didn’t notice any on the GX whereas I wasn’t really inspecting for it but caught my attention on the LX. A couple of the shavings were quite large (would have...

    RECALL 25LA07 (25LB07 Interim Notice) - Engine Recall - UPDATED: DEC 18, 2025

    Thats what I thought when I bought an early ‘24 build date. The previous recall had me thinking it was fixed by then.

    5W-30 motor oil

    What’s the view on 0W-30? Don’t see it in any of the int’l manuals. Planning to run that in the LX and GX.

    RECALL 25LA07 (25LB07 Interim Notice) - Engine Recall - UPDATED: DEC 18, 2025

    We have an LX and GX. LX will fall under the build dates but the GX will be a month outside. If you recall, there was a halt in the GX deliveries around March/April 2024. I wonder if it was related to this issue and the reason those built after the halt aren’t included. I do have factory...

    Oil Change Thread

    TGMO 0W20 / 90915-10010: 1,000 5,000 Will stick with 5k intervals as I did on my 200 and do on the 600.

    LX600 2nd row seat and legroom

    Sorry, forgot about this thread. Since the front seats aren’t fixed, I was trying to think of the best way to measure. I ended up measuring from the back of the 2nd row seat to the glove box. The LX has 2” more than the GX/250.

    LX600 2nd row seat and legroom

    The 250/550 and 600 both feel tighter in the 2nd row than the 200. I’m out of town until Friday, but can take some 550/600 comparison measurements then.

    Japanese V35A-FTS Bearing Issues

    Well that sucks. I have two 2024 manufactured V35A-FTS in the driveway. I’m sure they’ll be fine, but it will be in the back of my mind during our 1500mi roadtrip in March.

    GX550 vs LX600

    The 200 (mine was a ‘21 LC, so granted this isn’t a Lexus to Lexus comparison), had touches of luxury but still felt utilitarian. The LX600 feels more luxury than utility. That’s not a bad thing, because we all know it is a fully capable LC, so you get the best of both worlds. The...

    GX550 vs LX600

    We got 9.5” on Tuesday! I told the kids to enjoy it, may never see that much down here again. Most since 1895.

    GX550 vs LX600

    For some some real LX600 vs GX550 debate, which looks better in the New Orleans snow?

    GX550 vs LX600

    I’ve owned a GX460 (traded), LC200 (traded), LX600, and GX550 all in the last year. They’re all great for different reasons and meet different needs. The LX600 “feels” different than the others. I know it is off-road capable, but it feels like a luxury vehicle. Very different than the 200...
