No smudges Tecman None with reload. keep in mind it helps not to be in direct sun when applying.

,Boys any short cuts, give a shortcut finish. When spraying on reload direct to rag or to the body, last much longer than spray on wash off. For me its a waste of time and product.

Almost at 60K, so starting the list of 60K maintenance items starting with an oil change. (coolant, brake fluid, rear diff, spark plugs, engine air/cabin filters, rear brake rotors/pads next )


This is a new to me car, got it around 56K and I found previous techs forgot the covers and missed a bolt.




Does anyone know the part number for the oil filter bolts? I think it's 51202F in this parts diagram but doesn't seem to have the bolts listed.


Seems like the covers are these - middle one is obviously the oil drain, but what's the cover to the side accessing? I didn't see anything obvious.

Interested in your rear diff. experience, (fill/drain plug size), as I have yet to change mine, (49,417k miles).
This is a very helpful tool when I service the diff. on my Maserati Granturismo.

If you don't know to remove the fill plug first...take your car to the dealership!

Damn the bad luck. 🥴
Hit something on the hwy, busted the bottom corner of the front bumper.
It's not like State Farm hasn't been holding thousands of MY dollars! 😅

Are they going to patch it up or replace the front bumper? Why did you choose that Collision Center? I might need someone in the future, so it’d be good to know that other shops, besides authorized Lexus collision centers, can properly fix the LC.
