so i call three major dealerships for oem toyota diff oil. two toyotas and one lexus dealer. even though our manual says 75w85, both toyota says the put vavoline 75w90 for all diff changes on every car. the lexus dealer said they use chevron 75w85. i thought was weird so i just went ahead and got amsoil 75w90. although i'ts not time for me to change it, i did buy the car used and who knows how the previous driver drove but it came out very clean but at least now i have a better peace of mind. was really easy to do.

thank you. interior for the ISF is pretty easy. since it's such a new car with nice materials, my one go to product i only use in the whole interior is Griots interior cleaner.



use to be order only but they carry it now at advance auto parts for about 15 bucks. it has no scent which is why i like it. it can be used on all surfaces including the leather. it leaves no shine, just a new car matte look.

i use that on my leather but my seats dont get dirty so a weekly wipe down with warm water is all it needs to take off dirt and oils off .

once a month, i do use this griots leather care , it leaves no shine at all which is rare for all the leather products you see over the counter. you dont want your seats to be shiny, that will seal in dirt and lead to cracking of the leather.

this is actually for the bmw m6. hence why it's 21" with negative offsets. the m6 looks right with 21" since the big fender wells. some of you might think its too big but honestly, it isn't for this car. these were made especially for the m6.
