Today I purchased my Tokico Illumina's and eibach pro kit springs and can't wait to get them. Also I got two new tires for the rear Hankook V12's whatwhatttt haha changed my oil a little earlier this week and have a figs hood prop kit that might reach my doorstep by tomorrow. A pretty big and good week for my car =)
Oil change today because the oil is 13 months old. It only had about 175 miles on it and looked like what i put in. But we can't see the addictives breaking down and oil characteristics unless i send it Blackstone, which i might. It would be interesting to see what the oil reads because it has so few miles on it. Manufacturers recommend 1 yr on synthetics though *sigh*
And not a drop spilled during the change. lol
yes i know it takes 5.4L with a filter. I have other synthetics which are all pretty much compatible. These jugs are on sale for $29.99 at Advance Auto Parts
175 miles? what do you DD? i drive twice that amount in a week x.x
+1 on K&N. Fram scares me for some reason.. i think the only thing i ever bought by them was the cabin filter replacement.. and only because there was no other option to choose from.

Yea man, 175 miles in 13 months(2012 was least i drove it). It just crossed 52k and I'm original owner. I DD'd it one year and the rest of the years i take it out 3-4 times a month but locally. The oil was still a bright amber, sucks it loses characteristics over time.
And the Fram went on, I'm not really worried about it after looking around. Sure as hell ain't going to lose sleep over it. I think it will be fine but damn, i should have got what i normally get. The clown working insisted it was better and right then i knew to not ask him anything.
I Btw, I DD an '09 Impala LT. It's ok and certainly doesn't compare to the Lex, but does is a fairly decent car for a GM.

what do you DD now? and he probably insisted on it because it's been collecting dust on the shelves for too long.. :lol:
an impala... ... i certianly did not expect that. hahahah. sorry that car just makes me rage because whenever i see ppl red out their tails it looks like the impala's lol.
Woops, i did a ninja edit on ya. Ya the Impala takes me the 20 min route to work and gym, it's held up ok. Surprisingly that was the last model of Fram filters, and figured I'd give it a shot. It's sure as heck better than the Purolator Classics. The PureONE Purolator is a very good filter but they are obviously more.
You're right about the tails haha. I can't complain, since i needed a family car a three years ago when my boy was born.
I was thinking about doing that and getting rid of the Impala, now that it is pretty much back to stock. I still want to get a used F this year and was considering using it in as a trade in. I know the IS300 would be a great DD, just not sure what direction i'm taking yet.
I’ve bought a new compressor and condenser and removed all lines they had some hardened green stuff around the orings seemed clean inside. The compressor was leaking through the middle of sensor and at seams where it’s held together. The condenser leaking where the evap bag access thing is. Just...
Hello guys, I’m new to the forum and I’m stuck on my timing for my 2003 is300.
I have looked at many threads and posts but I’m still confused and no posts I have read have clarified my confusion. When I started with my timing belt replacement I removed the radiator, front assembly, covers...
Hi,
Have a 2002 IS300 with 202k miles. Past year I've noticed an intermittent drop in power. Sometimes the car is a beast with power and acceleration and other times the thing is gutless and has the following symptoms: stuttering from a dead stop, throttle response lag, NO POWER, and all-around...
I have a 2004 is300 with 97,000 miles on it. I recently took it in for an oil change and when I got it back it started leaking oil... a lot. I then took it back and they said it was coming from the oil filter so they replaced that again. But that didn’t do the trick if anything it’s worse now...
