RX in NC

I did the 80,000-mile service on my wife's 2015 RX350 FWD this morning. The best news is that the factory rear shocks are still dry (no leaks), the control arm bushings look to be in good shape, and there is no sign of the infamous timing cover oil leak. I sure hope the timing cover gasket-squirting robot at the Canadian factory was indeed working properly on the day her engine was built.

You are catching up on miles. Good to know that you have a typical Lexus.

If you need to replace a tire or two in near future, do consider biting the bullet and replacing the TPS sending unit. [I wish some one would have told me to do so].

I expect to put a new set of tires on her RX350 in the October / November timeframe. Indeed, I will have a decision to make regarding those TPMS sensors. I despise them and wish that none of our vehicles had them. My 2013 Outback 3.6R also has them. That vehicle turned 9 years old in April and to my knowledge is still running the factory TPMS sensors. I hope they will last another couple of years because that vehicle's tires only have 29,800 miles on them.
