Just Hit 200k
I bought my 95' SC300(Auto) 4 months ago at 193k miles and i have now hit the 200k mark! Ive only gone through 1 oil change since then and i know its past due for another one. It seems to be burning oil since i have yet to notice a leak. My a/c has recently gone out (long story) and when it idles it seems to cough or sputter. Theres also vibration in the steering wheel whenever your idling or let off the throttle. The point im trying to get to is: what maintenance work should i have done and checked to my SC now that ive reached the 200k mark? Any tips or advice would highly be appreciated.

Is there oil on top of your alternator? Is the plate under your distribotor cap caked up with oil. You may be leaking oil because of a bad distributor O-ring. I bought a sc300 with 182k and I am replacing everything except the motor and trans lol.

OP, I have the same oil loss situation. I currently pour in a quart each and every month with no visible signs of a leak. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, wires, plugs, distributor, O ring, every gasket including valve covers, etc and nothing changed. Your engine vibration is probably caused by bad engine mounts btw. Do a tune up, save some money, drive the SC till the wheels fall off, get a good job and buy an LFA down the road
