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
anyone notice slight hesitation until 4 k,it almost feels like vvti in other cars?
Just got my tsw brooklands on today. 20x8.5 +40 255/30 20x10 +40 275/25 nitto invo. Bc coilovers r en route so I'll post more pix after the drop!
My 2008 Opaline Pearl on ash leather, ML/NAV.
I've got about 58k miles and mine needs at least 2 quarts between oil changes. I use full synthetic mobile 1 0-20 every 5k.

Is this motor known for eating oil? I thought I only had to worry about the 300/350 eating oil.
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.
Does this car suffer from the brake actuator failing like on the ls460? I hear a pump noise turn on whenever I brake hard.
I had my 2008 GS460 in the shop recently due to hearing the pump running regularly. 70K miles.
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!

Man just my luck. I knew something bad was to happen and I also declined extended warranty since the car seemed in perfect condition. I bought it from autonation ford and they told me the car brings a two month warranty. They said to bring it in I hope they don't give me the dance around. I don't have any lights on is it still safe to drive for a while? The car brakes it's just annoying when I feel the pump turn on while I'm braking. Guys any input or anywhere else to purchase this part from? I saw some on eBay for the ls.
