Classic situation.  Never start tracing codes until you know the mechanical condition of the engine is good....sigh...the first 4 pages all talk about how to get codes or diagnose codes...novice here...

It's too bad that you ruined such a good reliable Lexus...

師兄大佬，

無話邊樣保養係重點唔重點啲㗎。要計嘅話，最重點自然就係要好似 spoonek4兄所講嘅（最少要） keep 住每4個月／8000km去換一次 engine oil。但咁唔代表其他 maintenance 唔重要。迫力油、波箱油、尾牙油、power steering fluid、engine coolant、火咀、各樣皮帶、CV boot cover、CV joint、氣隔、油隔、電池等等樣樣野到期嘅話其實都要換㗎啦？

人地話一養車就一闊三大真係唔係同你講笑㗎！但你對架車好之時，佢咪又對返你好咁囉。

咁多?!

有邊啲係重點啲??

the mechanic briefly mentioned synthetic oil...

新偈又好，新車又好，係想對佢、對自己都好啲嘅話就用合成油（synthetic oil）啦。車頭又會行得順啲、好力 ...

佢係肯換油既，普通油都已經好好啦！實在見太多人以為用左synthetic就有排都唔使換油，一樣玩死車頭！

habitrailspace: 冇錯我都同意，即使LEXUS recommend 160,000km至換timing belt，但係我都recommend 4-5年/10萬左右做晒timing belt/timing belt tensioner/水泵/cam seal/crank seal之類既野！

新偈又好，新車又好，係想對佢、對自己都好啲嘅話就用合成油（synthetic oil）啦。車頭又會行得順啲、好力啲、慳油啲，而機件損耗亦會少啲而變相令到副偈長命啲。
