New around here, just purchased a GS350, loving it so far. I'm coming from a 04 g35 coupe. Quite a change but I like it. My brother had a 01 gs300, and my mom currently has a 08 rx350. Love the way they drive. Just wanted to keep up with the maintenance, anything I should know in particular. I need to do an oil change, was going to use Mobil 1 synthetic, with OEM filter. Good combination? I'm at 125000 km. What do you guys recommend for plugs? And when to do them. As well as changing tranny fluid, diff fluid, and other maintenance on these cars? Appreciate your help! :-)

 

Welcome to the world of LEXUS!
All your questions have already been answered that's probably why you had like 70 views and nobody even said hi. people around here expect you to use the search tab & box for what you want!

but since Im here

1. Most folks use Mobil 1 and oem filter.
2.Most folks use oem plugs. online for like $60-70 bucks. DENSO FK20HBR11 LONG LIFE IRIDIUM
Usually done at 60K in miles.
3.I have 40k on my GS350 and will be changing all 11.9 quarts. basically a drain & fill like 4 times in a row.
I personally like Amsoil the WS (world standard version) similar to Toyota's WS trans oil.
might as well change the diff too. other maintenance read your manual. if you don't have one Download online or call Lexus they'll send one for free.

again Welcome to the Club.

 

Welcome! Seems like I was beat to the punch, but everything mentioned in the previous post is basically what most do. As far as differential fluid, I like to stick to OEM.

 

Thank you guys for taking the time to reply. Appreciate It! I will look into the manual for more information. Drain and fill the transmission 4 times, that is necessary or just what you do to ensure it is fully replaced with clean fluid? Thanks again

 

When you drain and fill, you're only draining about 3-4 qts and then filling that back up. Instead of doing a drain and fill, you could opt for a tranny flush, but not too many places have the necessary machine. It'll flush out all the fluid and replace with new fluid.

 

good idea. i always like to use the OEM toyota fluids. sometimes the OEM is cheaper than the aftermarket fluids if you do your research!

 

Like others have said. OEM all the way!

 

Appreciate it guys ! thanks again for the info.

 

Welcome to CL!

I have an 08 350 AWD I stick with OEM Toyota Filters. They only cost $5 and comes with the rubber O-rings. I also use mobile1 synthetic 5-30. ever since I started driving I always used either OEM fluids or Mobile1 and my filters were always OEM.

OEM is the best way to go!
