Daryl, If you read the first paragraph it says "Limited to purchases made at participating retailers; excludes online purchases made at
Amazon.com Amazon.com
." Also, if you read the line at the top of the list it says "Some participating retailers include", but does not list Walmart.

Here is website that displays the rebate with Walmart: https://slickdeals.net/f/9823999-5-q...e-store-pickup

Thanks for the link. It helps allay my fears that they wouldn't honor a Walmart purchase.

I had seen those things you had posted about Amazon & "SOME", but come'on, how hard is to type WALMART on your website? Especially when they list Target & Kmart?

I do appreciate the heads up on the oil, that is a great deal. You can get a Toyota filter for about $7, which means you can do a full, top tier, synthetic oil change with OEM Filter for about $20

watch it closely and check everyday...
It is now official I need new radiator. I can see some seeping where the metal piece on the top of radiator. Just one more thing on my already long list of what need to be done - this one jumped all the way to the front. Luckily this is not our daily drive.

Glad to hear you found the source of your problem. Sorry we hijacked your post to talk about fluids.

If you want to tackle this problem yourself, you can follow these videos.

Watch this general video
And then this more specific video for a LS 430

I do like videos because it helps me to SEE how tough the job is, but you can't beat a vehicle specific step by step
