If you search for a few months... I guarantee you'll find a 92 SC400 with like 30,000 miles on ebay, thats in perfect condition and will sell for like $14,000 at the most. Best value in the used car market, EVER.

If the diff fluid is a lifetime fill, then why is it replaced at the 30K mile service. I'm about to get one for my ls430 soon. I just replaced the diff fluid in my 91, ls400 with 185K on it. When it drained out it didn't look too bad but the magnet was covered with black gunk so I am def gonna change out the diff fluid in my ls430. Actually, changing this fluid is as easy as an oil change and can be a diy project.

I just changed it out on my 90 and it was pretty nasty.
Heck, its probably the easiest fluid change.

I just checked the owner's manual for my 98 GS 400 and it reccomends
90W or 80-90W hypoid gear oil for the differential (GL-5).
Everyone here seems to use 75-90weight, and the Lexus dealership parts guy (who does not stock the stuff) specifically told me to use non-hypoid. Who should I believe?
