Preventive maintenance
Hi, I have a 2018 IS350 F-Sport RWD with 61,500 miles on it. I replaced spark plugs, Transmission fluid and brake fluid and I am doing Diff fluid soon as well as coolant. I was wondering if there is anything I should look for wear wise, I was thinking about upgrading the LCA bushings to RCF ones. But is there anything else I should inspect and replace that are common issues that people with higher mileage IS’ have had? Thank you

If I was intending to keep a car for a while then, apart from the usual maintenance items, I'd also apply some rustproofing to the underside, wheel wells, and sills (rocker panels to you folks). This could be a simply spray over with something like ACF-50 or Fluid Film, which would take less than an hour, up to applying a wax type treatment (I use Dynax products) to all the surfaces and cavities.

Rust proofing
I’m actually going to be rust proofing my car, ordered everything I need to do wool wax. Ordered a few quarts of the material and a couple of their spray wands. I’m in it for the long run. I kept my Subarus from rusting with Fluid Film cans but I’m stepping it up to the next level.
