Took the car in to the dealership. They did see a misfire. And said that MAY be why the low engine oil light kept coming on.
Said they would have the car for about a week. No new GS for loaner so I am in a hybrid RX.

wow, it took them this long? amazing.
I forgot if my Camry '07 with the same engine was also recall this misfire. That Camry was the worst of all the Camry model. Misfire, oil line burst, and a few others. All common problems. I sold that Camry to get my current GS430. with reliable problem.
Sadly my GS430's alternator was shot last week.

Canada seems to be behind always on these things, so it may or may not come here and it may or may not take weeks or months. I brought my car in for these issues multiple times and had it "fixed" multiple times ... valve springs (not the 350 recall ones), top engine clean... it is better but it still stutters on me.
I have no idea if it stutters enough for them to "reproduce" it, or if I'd have no problem getting this more extensive service done BECAUSE I have such a history of them trying to deal with this same problem. Hopefully the latter, as I'd like to know I just have the redesigned rings in the car and maybe just put the issue to bed for good.

I hear a lot of people getting different loaners meanwhile I've been getting the ES every time, I'm getting bored of it lol, are you allowed to ask the dealer for different loaner cars?

I've had the car in a few times but all the new loaner cars GS were already out on loan. So, I have to been able to drive one yet. They did have one in their preowned are with 9000 miles on it. I think it was about 48-49 grand.stillma little rich for my blood. Maybe another CPO Ina few more years...then again, with the price of fuel, who really wants to have to buy premium fuel.plus by then, I might need a car that gets some uber mileage.

So just fingers crossed that this thing trickles down to Lexus Canada eventually, I'll give it until the end of winter or something and then just ask about it if I haven't heard from Lexus at all.

The GS and the Camry share no parts that make them go.
