Best Oil Filter for IS200?
Best Oil Filter for IS200?
The car had done 22000 so not old and worn, the oil light time troubled me as an ex-mechanic , so i bought a TRD one, and it halved the time the oil light took to go out, after the car was left for a week or so.
So my conclusion is the TRD filter has a better none return valve fitted than the OEM filter.
Can i give my thoughts on the subject, when i had my first IS200 it had the OEM filter, i would only use the car 2 or 3 times a month, on starting the engine the oil light would take 3-4 seconds to go out, due to drain back to the sump, if i used the car the following day the oil light would go out quicker.

Also, is the £270 I've been quoted a good price for a 40K service (big one) + timing belt change (excl. water pump) ?

haha I have, told him to book it in asap, I was expecting a LOT more than that. I think he may have done me a favour on the price because the guys garage is 2 units down from our workshop and I help load the odd engine onto a lorry with our forklift etc. And my boss always gets his and his wifes cars done there too.

Which when I asked Lexus about, they said would reduce the service cost by £77.11

27-07-2018, 08:09 AM #27Blueprint filters are really good as well. I've used blueprint stuff on all my cars and never had any issues
But in the end a full 40K service + timing belt, water pump, new coolant and gearbox oil change cost £540 inc. parts and labour.
Which as the first car I've ever had to put through a major service sounds a lot to me, but having done searches and seen people been quoted sometimes in excess of £1000 for the same thing, I don't feel so bad now.

20-08-2018, 03:32 AM #28Got the car serviced yesterday, ended up costing me a bit more than the £270 I was quoted originally. As I noticed at the last minute that the water pump was leaking so I got that changed, also got fresh coolant put in and gearbox fluid change wasn't part of the 40K so that was extra.
