-----Question-----
I have an gs 400 with a 150000 miles what should i do with it far as maintenance so far I have flush transmission fluid and changed oil
-----Answer-----
You're the man!!!!!
FLush the coolant every other year. repace the thermostat & pressure caps every other flush (4th year).
Flush the ATF atleast every three years.
Honestly, a neat trick is flush it out. Then change the ATF every time you change your oil! Only takes afew quarts.
BGK & Denso plugs ONLY! Trust me! Please!
Use Mobil1 oil. Mobil1 5w-30 synthetic is cheap @ wallmart!
Denso filters (That's Toyota/Lexus), or Wix/Purolator.
That's about it. Just understand that parts will begin to fail. Rubber begins to crack. But the car itself. If you stay ontop of it. It's literally a million mile powertrain with good luck.
That's why you see so many 4.0L v8's for sale with like 150,000-200,000 miles for about a grand online. Toyota didn't spend billions on creating that engine family for it to suck. ;) Not the biggest factory power outputs, but they're insanely over-built compaired to the equivilent contemporary engines.
Might wanna seafoam it. That always helps them alot. You jsut think it's smoothe now!
Oh! And if you ever get curious. You can do oil anylisis, like Blackstone labs. They can tell you literally about anything you ever wanted to know about how long your oil will actually last, and your engine is actually wearing. Costs abot $20-30 bucks.
AnswerMaybe, are you use to driving torque big rwd cars tho?
If you're experiancing alittle yank when turning some it's just alittle big of torque steer.
RWD doesn't roque steer really much at all, but you don't have a limited slip differential (SO one tire will spin while the other doesn't - knocking you off center) and you do have 310ft-lbs of torque on tap. ;)
