Plugs are due 1st time at 40K miles... indeed. VERY unusual for Ir tipped NGK. So is brake fluid flush at 30K.

- Oil and filter changed every 5k Km
- Air filter replaced once at 10k Km
- OEM Akebono front pads wore out after 11k Km, replaced with EBC Yellows (wore out after 25k Km), subsequently replaced with Hawk HPS 5.0
- OEM rear pads half worn at 11k Km, replaced with genuine Toyota part and still ok
- OEM brake fluid boiled during spirited driving and was subsequently replaced with aftermarket DOT4 via Techstream. Gets replaced annually or whenever it boils, whichever comes first.
- Hit nasty pothole at around 24k Km. Caused annoying clunk. Replaced lower control arms, ball joints, outer tie rods, rack ends, stabilizer links, and front left wheel bearing to no avail. Replaced all AVS shock absorbers to no avail. Turned out the pothole just knocked the F-Sport lateral damper loose. Now have an extra set of AVS shock absorbers. lol
- Replaced original tires with GT Radial Champiro HPYs (paired with aftermarket wheels) and eventually installed Toyo Proxes St-IIs since the GT Radials were about to expire.

Were those suspension parts covered under warranty? or did you have to pay out of pocket for all that?

Ditto on the road noise and low mileage. I just hit 10K after 19 months.

Just this past week I took the risk and put on the Vredestein tires, and surprisingly both the ride and the noise level have greatly improved! i was quite surprised and shocked!
VREDESTEIN
QUATRAC 5

Just had my oil change the other day, 10,112 miles. Dealer replaced the cabin filter & I replaced the air filter.
Tires are LOUD....Stock Yokohama Geolandar 91...not happy!

I just retired so hopefully I will drive more now, but my office was only six miles from the house so the miles didn’t pile up very fast. We do have some road trips planned...

Anyway, to your question, we have the Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires.

Just picked up my 2016 with 28k. I’ll be piling on a lot more miles than the original owner.

Your brake fluid flush is due in 2 000 miles and you can NOT DIY it. Need scanner for that.

Out of pocket. Brakes and suspension aren't covered by Lexus warranty here in the Philippines.

Wow, how much did all that cost if you don’t mind me asking. I believe that all suspension components are covered under bumper to bumper warranty here in North America

There are reasonably affordable scanners that can do the EBP. There's also a manual procedure in the shop manual for it.
