Well after 1 1/2 years of ownership, it's time for my 30,000 mile service. My friend will be assisting me on this journey. My question is, how much brake fluid do I need? I have 36 oz of dot 3 fluid. I have contacted 2 Lexus dealerships near me, one told me to use 2 12 oz bottles, and the other said 3 12 oz bottle 2nd question, how hard are our cars to do a brake fluid change job on? Anything I need to Watchout for?
Thanks!!

30,000! I got my RC on the first day, and have not yet turned 10,000 miles.

 

wow 30k miles...thats a lot of driving. Please update if you do run into any issues with this maintenance. I plant on doing everything myself too.

 

I drive a lot for work Hahaha, 95% is of my 30k miles, is highway miles. I'll try and do a dyi post when I do the brake flush.

 

I don't know why driving a lot for work is funny, but the US average is about 12,000 to 15,000/year, so I am way under and you are way over, which makes us average. Post the brake flush info, as that is interesting. Speaking of brakes, my wheel guy does not do calipers in the summer, but will powder coat my calipers in the early fall. Yellow or red, I'm still not sure. I saw a red Ferrari with yellow calipers, which looked great, but they matched the logo in the center of the wheels, which I don't have, so I'm leaning to bright red.

 

Do you have stock wheels?

 

I have the optional 19" wheels.

 

Mine are painted red, and I love how they look. This probably isn't the best picture, but it's the only one I have that's a close up of my caliper. <br ><br >
