I am doing oil changes every4000 miles with redline syn 0 20 and penzoil syn 0 20. Both seem to be consumed by 2 quarts or more by 4k happening.
Ive also noticed a bit of hesitation of the line at close to wot,seems like the ecu is pulling timing up to about 4k then it comes to life,anyone else notice this with the 4.6 in the 460
anyone tried removing just the silencer in the middle of the exh system to get a lil more exh note out of the car,Doesnt seem like even full exh system with x pipe makes any more power,this seems like a inexpensive way to get a lil v8 sound outa the car without making it loud and annoying

UPDATE:
No hesitation. Maybe you're not used to the 8-speed tranny shifting a few times before you even get to 20 mph?

They both eat some oil. Although I've seen couple folks on here with the 460 saying it doesn't eat any oil. Mine just started doing it about 8k miles ago. I never smell any oil burning nor do I ever see any oil in my garage or parking space at work.

Brake Pump Actuator
Lexus of Orlando told me that the actuator is only on the LS and GS 460 and it is failing. The part alone is 2,500.00 ~ 3k installed. Wish I had bought an extended warranty. Otherwise love the car!

I had my 2008 GS460 in the shop recently due to hearing the pump running regularly. 70K miles.
