Hell yeah. We love to see it. Now we just need Tahara to crank these babies out. It looks like it’s open road for the rest of October and November so we might get good news soon

What oil will you guys use? Thanks to @TipsyTonio for the manual, went through the whole thing Ctrl + F "IS500." The engine will use 5W-30 as recommended. I'm thinking of sticking with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 since it has been great with my current car. Definitely will need to get used to needing 9 quarts as opposed to 5 quarts for my current 2.0L!

ANYWAYS. Anyone read through the whole manual? Just starving for more IS500 content.

I’ve read most of them (Thanks @TipsyTonio ) in between Teams meetings. I’ve never been this Info Starved for a car before and as a result, realized I never read my ‘16’s manual to this degree! 😜

Speaking of oil changes, isn't the recommended interval 5k miles for the V8? TipsyTonio, any chance you can use your "skills of the interwebs" to dig up the supplemental/maintenance manual? Much appreciation for what you've done already

For what it's worth, I have the service manual for the 2022 LC500 which has the V8 and also isn't a full blown F-model, and they call for oil changes every 5k.

It's ironic that I can't find the IS500 one, but I can find the one for the 2022 LC500 which hasn't even been announced yet. Lexus works in funny ways.

I’m reaching out to my dealer today to ask for proof of my order being submitted and accepted. So I’ll keep you all in the loop.
My hunch is that maybe they already submitted orders and the one I wanted lined up with what they are getting so they just told me “We can order that configuration”

Most people in line for this car were never promised an order would be submitted on their behalf. The dealer likely asked what was their color preference but I always felt that was just to prioritize people on the list when your color came in. The fact that you're asking for proof of an order being submitted is interesting and kind of funny. Let us know what they say.
