I changed the oil on Sunday. Used Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 with a K&N HP-1002 oil filter. I'm going to run this oil out to 3k miles and change it. From then on I will likely stick with a 5k OCI.

did the belts, timing belt, and water pump. approaching 100k on my '01 es300. also buffed the headlights from their oxidation.
need to do valve cover gaskets soon but can't find a good photo / video tutorial of how to do the rear ones. would cost about $500 at the shop but parts are only about $40 total...

just got my new general altimax arctic tires today. 500$ later...
Still waiting on confirmation of what else needs to be replaced, my front end is making annoying squeeks from below, so i may just get new control arms [all else suspension wise front/back is brand new, less than one year old]
