If you're your own oil change, make sure to check for tramisssion leak and loosing bolt. My car and some other car has loosing bolts and very very minimal leak. Toque it abut and you good to go. My cousin works for Lexus of Westminster also confirmed me that lot of 2IS has that problem.

So if anyone here has done the TSB, what was the symptoms? Mine gives me a slight whiff of burnt oil every once in a while but there is no leak on the ground. It has burned some oil over 2500 miles (from upper to lower mark on oilstick).
