Got my daughter's 2001 RX300 ready for the trip back to school at Pitt. Changed oil and filter, dropped tranny pan, new filter and fluid change out with 9 quarts T-IV, changed transfer case and differential fluids, washed and waxed it and then drove it around for fun. I'm trying to treat her (the RX300) well in hope that she returns the favor!

Wash and waxed it after 5 winter months. I was going to sell and get a 350 but I really like the Silversport and everything works. I'll get tires soon and use it for another 2-4 yrs.

Washed and cleaned my 02 RX 300with Clay bar. Had never heard of Clay bar until recently. What a difference in the before and after! Did our 01 Civic too! Now I don't need to do my upper body work out at the gym today!

I pulled out the blower fan assembly and found myself covered in fine carbon powder, which continues to fall out of the assembly. And kept trying to figure out how to pull this thing apart to see if I can clean it.

Waiting on the air mix servo and IS 77 to install.

Picked pine needles off the windshield, windows, and sunroof by hand for like 2 hrs... I don't even have a pine tree in my yard!!! It's like 2 houses away, they blew over from the storm. Drove around, might finally change the bulbs in the parking lights later... Need the rain to stop!!!

Had no internet for the past few days due to Hurricane Sandy, so with nothing else to do I clay barred the entire RX and waxed it. Did all of that with winds of 85mph outside of my garage door, yep, some might call me crazy!

changed engine oil and filter. Switched to 80% syn and 20% conv. 5W30 Pennzoil Ultra. 1st time switching to synthetic after 100K miles. The filter was OEM 90915-yzzD3 . yup D3. so taller and more filteration, just like on my ES300 too. plus the price was same as D1 at around $6
