Today I had my coolant, brake fluid, and oil and filter changed. My car is now 10 years old. Wow 😳!. I have 17,200 low miles and this was a great day to put the top down and go for a drive. I get a lot of looks with the red interior. My dog, Herschel, loves to ride with the top down and go thru McDonald's. He loves the kiddie cones !

The oil only had 2000 miles on it but..... I want to change the air filter. Does anyone have a certain recommendation on filter type or brand?

make sure you don't buy a cheap knock off.

Installed a cargo net today....provides a little more utility in the trunk. I also have one in my GS and love it.

The number is 17801-50060. I ordered it on EBay. Today for $22.89 plus $5.00 shipping. Genuine Lexus from Bell Lexus. It was less than Mylparts even with the Club discount as they charge a bit more shipping cost for some reason.. Both places had decent prices for the real deal.

Scottsdale,Az. I think it was that the other place has a set minimum for shipping and handling whereas EBay sellers usually try to keep the shipping cost (but not always) at the true shipping cost to compete. Either way the prices were fairly close but you do need to shop around. On another note I finally started using my extra set of floor mats this year.as I figured it was better to use them than let them set in the garage cabinet! They made the SC look new again. I also changed out my interior lights for the newer bright white LED's. Looks a little more up to date. I wonder how many Sc430 are left after all these years and various acccidents etc. ?
