Just placed $454 order.

I couldn't locate manual transmission oil from the Sewell site nor did I receive e-mail back from them when I asked.
Oh wells.

It was difficult to figure out what I need to order to maintain the car for next 100k miles.

I'm really bummed like rest of you that Sewell will be gone.
They have been a really good dealership that supported ClubLexus (win/win).

08885-02106 is the fluid, it's nothing really special, but they don't sell it on Sewell's website. I bet if you called them they would be able to add it to your order though.

(You'll need 2 of them)

I registered with Sewell when we first bought our RX, four years and a hundred thousand miles ago. Never bought anything from them. The car has never been broke. Fluids and filters were easy to get at the Toyota dealer.

I was getting ready to order brake pads from them tonight when I saw their notice about March 1. That brought me here to see what was up. That led me to checking the price of my order with MyLparts. I was just under the $150 free shipping so I added a set of wiper blades. With the free shipping and CL5 discount, I was a couples bucks over the Sewell price that didn't include the wipers.

Sad to see them stop their online sales. Just placed a order for the F sport intake and shift **** and some oil filters. Probably order the rear sway bar tomorrow.

I been a customer for sewells over 6 years. It's sad to see them leave but you must try ROCKAUTO.COM. No other online store beats them. Don't waste your time on any other places. If you know the part number. Type it in and BAM!! They have it and it will be cheaper. Sewells wanted around 220 for each front hub for my lexus and rockauto had them for 145. its the same one that sewells sells. i just order my coil plugs from rockauto and it is 54 each and lexus wanted them for over a 80 each for the same ones. Try rockauto and you will thank me later

that's where I bought my spark plugs as well along with tie rods and end links. went for the supreme and professional series parts and was still much much cheaper than anywhere else.

Ugh, all these other alternative sites are so ugly and not as easy to find things if you don't know much about parts. Can't Sewell parts just change their name to get Lexus off their ***?

Thanks Jeff.

Is that the one selling for $100+ per litre bottle that I see on Amazon (so $200+ to do the fluid change)? I may consider another option if that's the case.

That won't solve much if everybody keeps going to their local dealer and saying "Can you match their price?!"

That's obviously the cause to this whole thing.

I tried "can you match their price" in my local dealerships. The guys usually respond, we can't sell that low. Why don't you just buy it from them lol.
