@CARNAL FLORES Same here. I daily drive an E38 740i and it currently has ~243,000 miles. It’s still on its first motor and the car runs great. New BMWs wouldn’t last over 150,000 miles though

First thing I did after buying my 333k mi ISF was sending an oil sample to be analyzed. It came back with pretty normal readings. Fairly certain my now 355k mi ISF engine won’t look too different! The fuel injected intake sure keeps the top end clean!
Says a lot about the owners, good quality oil with proper change intervals. Even the best engines will crap out and fill with sludge if you only charge the oil every 10-15,000 miles

Just bought a 2010 ISF two days ago due to the first video you had with Tavarish. I realized I didn’t need a low mileage ISF, especially since I commute 80 miles a day normally, so that helped. Decided to pick mine up with 198k miles and never been happier! Needs a little love, but all the critical components are sound, very loud and glorious sound. Thanks!!!
Brother- how has your experience been up until now? Looking at one with 144k with a similar commute! 70 miles! What items needed to be addressed or what should I look at?
@@pearldrums92I ended up getting rid of it but the owner that has it lives in Iowa and commutes with it, up to about 235k miles now. A few things.. the rear bumper cover clips love to break, so it's barely noticeable but the bumpers don't always line up. Valley plates are notorious for failing but those issues are usually resolved early on. Natural wear and tear - bushings fail by that time, so if it wasn't maintained regularly, look at that. Interior likes to melt, so sometimes the dash and doors look like crap if they're not changed out. OEM suspension feels like a race car, so you usually have to change those out if you plan to daily in comfort. Honestly, overall.. they're great cars to have so long as they're taken care of, even higher miles.

My Lexus IS350's Engine just went out at 220k Miles, think the Previous Owner didn't take care of it. Had it for a about 7-8 months and always did oil Changes every 3k miles with Castrol GTX High Mileage Oil & Toyota Oil Filter. She just started Knocking, so now I'm saving.

Recently bought a mint condition 2011 IS250 with about 50,000 miles on the clock. About half the engine as the legendary IS-F, but still a nice driving car.
chris bruni doesn’t matter how hard a stock sti launches it can launch at redline and it will still get smoked after 60mph. The isf can easily keep up with a stock sti from a dig. Even if a sti is fbo a fbo isf will still beat it. The isf motor will outlast that shitty EJ motor as well LOL

If you have a Mini-inductor, the dust shield on any Lexus rear wheel bearing (rear wheel drive vehicles) is super easy to put on. Just heat it up till it glows and it will fall into place. Next thing you need to is check for a coolant leak from the valley plate under the intake manifold.

Cute white golden ! Hate changing a wheel bearing, since i don’t have a press tool, ended up changing a whole knuckle with new bearing on my 300k miles Lexus.
Hey Jared, so the dust shield is a one time use part. It's far easier to go ahead and just break it out of there and then install a new one. The easiest way to install a new one is to heat the new shield with a map gas torch until it is bright red hot and then just slide it in there. Though, this does require the sensor to be removed, which it looks like you managed it all anyways.
During the Johnny build I was skeptical about the extreme angles of the steering shaft. I would have been happy to be wrong, but I am glad you are fixing that.
If only I could figure out how to work in fast forward like your videos I could get so much done. I would love to have you as a friend and neighbor Jared!

I'm seeing the same oil seepage on my isf. Did you experience any smoke coming out of the exhaust when stepping on the gas pedal aggressively? I'm curious what is the estimated cost of repair for a valve gasket replacement. Awesome video BTW.
Use pure 100% full synthetic motor oil and change it every 8K miles. My friends Honda Accord engine looked the same way at the 2nd timing belt change at 220K miles. He used Mobile 1, 5w30, changing at 8k miles.
I have a 2015 IS350 Fsport, I wish they had kept the ISF going into the third gen as I think the car could use a couple more cylinders, hoping the rumors of a forthcoming "IS500" are true. I used to have a (heavily modified) WRX wagon; valve cover gaskets require the engine to be pulled, so glad to be in a "V" configuration again, but more so in a car that I won't likely have to work on for most of my ownership.

Both are excellent cars and I have great respect for both engineers at Lexus F and BMW M. Both managed to deliver exciting small front engine rear drive 4 door sedans with high revving naturally aspirated v8. The Lexus was developed under a smaller budget than the bmw and I think it was more of a skunk works project. They didn't have as much leway to modify the body in white. Thus they spent most of their time on a then revolutionary 8 speed automatic and the bulletproof 5.0 v8. The Lexus is more reliable and the ultimate daily. But the bmw is the better drivers car. When best motoring test driver Hattori drove them head to head the bmw was the clear better driving car. He states his impressions around the 12 minute mark. He gives praise to the m3s turn in response , rear stability and overall chassis refinement. For the Lexus in contrast, he praised the electronic aids. Later on in the race, the m3 passes the isf around the outside of the second to the last corner at Tsukaba. th-cam.com/video/FFRuNajUC_4/w-d-xo.html
Best thing you can do for an engine is occasional spirited driving to heat the engine up. Heat is what burns off moisture in the oil, which then steam-cleans the internals.
Wife: Where were you? Me: I was at the shop. Had to spend the night because I didn't have a ride ride home. Had to wait for parts. Wife: Your shop is across the yard. Me: 🤷🏻♂️
A ton of Moog stuff for toyota is made by 555. If you are on good terms with your AutoZone one of the supliers for Duralast buys 555 parts as well. I go dig around until I can find OEM parts.
The difference between a M3 and the lexus IS-F is that in 10 years you can still drive the IS-F down the road.

When best motoring test driver Hattori drove them head to head the bmw was the clear better driving car. He states his impressions around the 12 minute mark. He gives praise to the m3s turn in response , rear stability and overall chassis refinement. For the Lexus in contrast, he praised the electronic aids. Later on in the race, the m3 passes the isf around the outside of the second to the last corner at Tsukaba. th-cam.com/video/FFRuNajUC_4/w-d-xo.html
Best thing you can do for an engine is occasional spirited driving to heat the engine up. Heat is what burns off moisture in the oil, which then steam-cleans the internals.

A ton of Moog stuff for toyota is made by 555. If you are on good terms with your AutoZone one of the supliers for Duralast buys 555 parts as well. I go dig around until I can find OEM parts.
Mind sharing what exact oil you are using....weight, conventional/ synthetic, brand...and filter?

Nice work, how do get the rear hub assembly dusk shield back on? I can not get it back on when I replace my rear and I ended up not using them
That’s nothing. I have 322k miles on mine. No oil leaks. I changed the radiator, water pump once. Plugs, coil packs, brakes and regular oil changes.
