06 GS300 oil consumption
Hello all. My 06 lexus gs 300 has about 155000 miles on it and still running strong. Its been very reliable but my concern is has anyone ever had their GS use a lot of oil? It seems like my GS is using a lot of oil. I checked under the hood and car and there are no leaks at all. Is anyone else having this problem? Also i use 5w 30 penzoil and i change my oil every 3000 miles. Yeah im old school lol. Also are brakes easy to change on this car? Thanks:-)

Nothing wrong with being old school. It actually helps prolong preventative measures from the car having oil leaks in the future, as the impurities from the oil does leave buildup, thus sealing up any leaks (although it isn't recommended as performance is hindered, car loses a few mpgs, and once seals go bad, all hell breaks loose lol).
I know of people who've done 300k+ miles off conventional oil on these old ford v6s they have. They also beat the hell out of it to boot.

Are you sure the dealer will fix this issue for free? I havent heard any recalls on this before.

This is a good time to have them replace the water pump, and plugs while your at it, labour should be free.

Hey everyone I took my ca up to the dealer and they recalled it!! Im sooooo happy. They are going to change my pistons and what not. I cant wait to get my car back. They said it will take about a week and a half!! I will keep you all updated with what is going on.

is there a code being thrown with this or do you just tell them its eating oil and they hook you up? cuz i brought in my car to the dealer a while back and told them that the car was stuttering every once in a while while at a stop light and they said they couldnt do anything until it threw a code
