    Suggestion: Complete a break-in oil change on your new Land Cruiser

    I doubt the dealer is going to know anything. They’re just happy to make a sale. Talking about such technical detail maybe an engineer or experienced mechanic will give you some real insight. Change you’re oil regularly and you’ll be good no need to stress.

    MOTHERS BACK TO BLACK

    Nice. I've been using the 303. Are those the stock wheels? What kind of tires did you put on there?

    How to Jack up the LC 250

    Has anyone jacked their LC 250 on jack stands yet? Where did you place the jack stands? Where did you place the floor jack (front and rear spots)? I found this video of where to jack up the 4Runner. I imagine the LC250 is similar but looking to crowdsource some info on this forum. The rear...

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    As mentioned the 10 and 20K are covered. Many times its easier for me to DIY instead of making an appointment during my work hours and taking time off. Also, I don't trust 10K intervals for a turbocharged engine. I don't do every oil change myself, just some of them.

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    I’ve done it before with my hand tools (see my post that I replied to) and was “easy peasy”. Just looking for something to make it even easier.

    Apple CarPlay is Garbage- Did we get the Beta version?

    Mine has failed to connect about 2-3 times and it was frustrating. Switched to the wire and it worked fine. Did a disconnect and reconnect of the blue teeth and it hasn’t given me an issue in a while.

    Oil and Filter Change, easy peasy.

    Looking for the right tool to remove and reinstall my underbody cover “skid plate” easier for my next oil change. Would anyone recommend an electric ratchet or an impact driver? Is one better than the other for this type of job?

    Air Filters - Engine and Cabin

    No luck searching other threads so figured I'd start a new one. Has anyone changed their engine and cabin air filters? Which parts (brand/number) did you use? I couldn't find anything on the Toyota parts website that was a confirmed fit. The wix website lists WA10807 (engine) and WP10322...

    I’m ready to pull the trigger on a LC but…..

    I think if that's your concern, wait.

    Car Wash or DIY

    I use Turtle wax hybrid solutions car wash soap. It foams well in my foam cannon. My favorite spray wax at the moment is meguires quick wax, you spray and dry at the same time. Polish is an abrasive used for paint correction which I doubt your LC needs at this point. I’ve done it on my other...

    Car Wash or DIY

    I did as soon as I got home. Just a pain in the ass since I spent a good amount of my Sunday evening washing and waxing by hand. Came off easily since the paint was slick from the wax.

    Car Wash or DIY

    Life does happen. I hand-washed and waxed mine yesterday after my road trip. Today - well a bird decided to take the biggest crap I've ever seen on the hood while I was at the driving range. Thats life!

    Road Trip Gas Mileage - I'm Impressed

    Do you remember what brand of gas you used? I didn't think it mattered until I watched a video on the difference between Top Tier Gas and non Top Tier Gas. I wasn't paying attention either way but wind direction could also play a factor in MPG. My car had the same luggage/weight the whole trip.

    Car Wash or DIY

    Do you take your LC to a car wash or do you wash it yourself by hand. Or do you have a professional wash it by hand? I've been washing it by hand. Brought back memories of being in high school and washing and waxing my first car (1998 BMW 318i) by hand. I feel like this is the first "cool"...

    Road Trip Gas Mileage - I'm Impressed

    Just took my first road trip in my 1958 and I am really pleased with this vehicle. Super comfortable, plenty of power, lots of room, and impressive gas mileage. The image below is from the last leg of my road trip. I reset the trip odometer and mpg gauge at the same time immediately after I...

    What are these panel stickers on my rear door? Does anyone else have these?

    Thanks. I’m thinking of taking it off. Just got a car wash it still has a collection of dirt around the perimeter. I actually began to peel of a part of it because I thought it was protective film for factory and shipping and now it just looks bad.
