This topic got my attention, I changed my Rear suspension knuckle 2 weeks ago and just now I went and measured the 2 rear wheels and found out the side I changed is 1/3 inch higher.

I learned how to reset the "Maintenance Required Soon" angry yellow triangle. And now my 2014 rolled past 34K mi.

Did you previously run 0W20 and switch to 5W30? Did you notice any difference, in engine noise or otherwise?

@CaliColin the car was due to be serviced and I wasn't sure what oil was used by the previous owner (most likely just bulk oil from the dealer). I also use 5w-30 Amsoil Signature series in my Jag so I have a carton of 4 gallons of oil for use. The only noticeable thing that I found is that the engine revs quicker with fresh oil compared to the old oil.

Spent a good hour or two cleaning the interior and hoping this will stop any colour transfer to the ivory seats.

spent most of the day decontamination and doing a machine one stage paint correction. The GS paint was generally in good condition, just wanted to remove some swirl marks and minor scratches.

Washed the dust off of her. And gave the Highlander a much-needed bath too!

Remove a couple of parking dings that are only noticeable by me from both cars. My PDR is the best in the business locally, mostly works on high end vehicles.
