M1 Extended Performance is great stuff. I found 10k miles to be a bit too long and results is carbon build up in the engine even with the XL filter. I'm also a big fan of Marvel Mystery Oil to help gently clean the engine. Especially on a new to you vehicle. I use about 1/2 a quart about 1000 miles before an oil change. What I'm currently using in my Sc430. I also use it often in the fuel tank to clean the fuel system / injectors. Great product for a low price.

I will have to give Marvel a go. You have a SC430 nice! One day I would like to add that in addition to my LS. Thanks again everyone!

I have been using it for years with great success. I don't use it at every oil change. Every 15k miles or so I will run it in the oil to clean out carbon. I do use it often in my fuel as this is a constant battle. Other great things that are easy to do that I had good success with is clean the MAF sensor (with electronic cleaner), clean the smog sensor, clean the throttle body, probably worth replacing the engine temp sensor, and stay up on your fluids. The power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and of course transmission and rear end. These cars will last forever if you take care of them.

I can't really ask for more out of a car right now, reliability, comfort, class. I really do love my LS430.

Phase 1 Complete: Here she is dropped on BC Racing coilovers BR series. I was going to do air, but ended up going static.
Phase 2 Coming Soon: Wheels and Tires.

Looks great. Makes me want to have my front end repainted haha. Only thing I'm not feeling at all, are those spikes on the Vanity Plate
