Hey Lexmex,
Sorry if I'm hijacking (still newbie)...Any particular reason for the Syntec 5W 40 recommendation? I noticed you like and others really like the 0W-30 Euro formula. Other than weight are there any other differences? I've been using the 0W my '01 (104K) and like it a lot.

BTW, I mentioned the Lubro Moly Engine Oil Saver as my favorite favorite initial additive for dealing with this. Don't think that anybody else hasn't come out with something as I noticed at an AutoZone today and noticed this on the shelf, http://www.barsproducts.com/1050.htm I don't have direct experience with this product just the Lubro Moly one.

Go for auto-rx is better. I replaced the rear main, transfer case seals and T.C. cover by a toyota mechanic. It was a very big job. You have to remove the transmission to do this.

Working on mine now rear oil seal
my 2000 rx 300 awd over 100k last week. Yesterday i checked the bottom of the car. There is small leaks oils between transmisson and the engine. I had also little leaks on transfer case before.
I am thinking to change all the bushings for tranfer case, engine main seal and timing belt & water pump. I know that i have to drop down the engine & transmisson to do all this thing. Does anyone did this job before ?
Any ideas. Any suggestions ? Should i change any other bushings or seals with this like front differential, rear main seal or transmisson converter or any other parts ?
I am looking for your inputs.
Thanks all
