I spelled it wrong it's "Fantastik", just a good cleaner spray that cuts grease. Grab handles on my were not grimy, but not clean either. It's at Target, Walmart, etc, although I linked amazon below for the picture of the bottle.

Amazon Amazon

Next few things on my list for 15 LX570.
  1. Found the threads on changing out interior lights for LED's. Now there are 2 bulbs, going with shorter version. Anyone know the bulb for cargo area?
  2. Changing Differential (F+R) and Transfer Case fluids. Are specs same as thread on GX460 differential/transfer case fluid change thread?
  3. Changing AHC fluid....easy video
QUESTIONS
  1. Have a braking question. Getting front end vibration on moderate stops when breaks are hot. Textbook warped rotor symptoms, so going to need to change them. Is the a common issue, uncommon, or is their something else I should be thinking about LX related (LX newbie). $300 in parts, 2 hours for me and buddy to change, but wanted to ask before.
  2. Have the lighted logo front scuff plates (came with car). If anyone has them can they be polished with metal polish? Any other way to get them new looking?

Just have the rotors turned if they are still within spec for thickness. "Warped rotors" is usually just an uneven amount of pad material that has transferred to the rotor. It would be really hard to warp these huge rotors. Only time I have heard of it is when they are hot and you drive right into a cold stream crossing and then that actually warp.

All of the door and overhead lights are 194 standard, which are readily available on Amazon. Just take a flat blade screwdriver and pry the covers off.

You'll want to disconnect the battery when changing the door lights to prevent the 5A fuse that controls them from blowing as all door lights are energized whenever a door is open.

1. Rear cargo area bulbs are type 194...available as standard or led all over the internet.

2. Diffs and transfer case are just fine with Mobil 1 75W-90. No idea what the GX uses...ask on the GX forum here.

3. Use ONLY Toyota AHC fluid...check Amazon.

My wife also upgraded from a 2014 Pilot to the LX - big difference as well! Considered (and almost bought) a Sequioa, only because there aren't that many LX's available to look at, much less purchase.. congrats!
