Hi! I want to change the oil on my Lexus GS 300 2003 with 180k miles but I don't know what kind of oil I need to use for the engine and transmission, also I want to change the coolant and I want to use the hybrid organic acid (pink stuff) or do I need to use the original (yellow)?
And do I need to change the fuel filter? I've heard that the filter is a "life time" and suggest to not change it because I can damage an o-ring or something.
Any suggestions for performance or maintenance are welcome thanks

You should always use Lexus recommended fluids for oil, transmission and antifreeze (Google or head to your local dealer). The last time I was at the dealer and had my radiator replaced they used Toyota red long-life antifreeze. I've never changed the filter on my transmission so I can't comment on that but I did do a drain and fill at 100,000 miles (about 10 years ago)...not a flush.

 

Agree,..........
But, if in doubt, u can't go wrong with OEM.

I would recommend obtaining an owner's manual if your car does not already have one.
