However, I remember "cleaning" the inside of engines--1960s & '70s cars-- with my grandfather, when I was still a young lad. He would empty out the oil pan, refill it with kerosene, run the car for 15-20 seconds and drain it. I was always amazed by the amount of gunk that came out.
This however, will not be done on my GS!

Could always do what this guy did and make some O2 non-foulers if you have a bank 2 code. Worked on several of my cars before.

Shboni,
One question, if you don't mind. I read your December 4, 2013 post where you hinted that you were going to change all four O2 sensors on you 1998 SC300.
(Heck I might as well order the other two sensors
but it would still be cheaper than ordering one sensor from Swell 
).
Were all four finally changed? Denso, I believe, is OEM for Lexus. I can see them going bad after 15 years, but not after four. In any case, that was a great price for them. Johnson Lexus lists the O2 sensors for something like $166.00. Thanks.

Yes Denso is the OEM replacement and I was just as surprised as you that I had to replace that one again, but I have been driving around so far and still no CEL
