Lexus IS parts reviews

0W-20 Amsoil Signature Series 100% synthetic oil changed every 5k miles. Wix 57173XP filter.

The OEM brakes have more bite, but there's so much brake dust. The Akebono definitely do not bite as much, but they perform well under heavy braking (mountain driving), have little to no noticeable brake dust, and lasted longer.

I switched to valvoline restore and protect on my 06 is250 and it’s working great. The valves are a lot quieter compared to the previous oil I was using which was Kirkland synthetic.

OEM is first choice, or Advics Aftermarket, which are almost to the level of OEM. Dont bother with power stop if you are looking for performance and longevity.

I noticed a significant reduction in brake dust on my wheels after i switched to power stop drilled and slotted paired with akebono pads

Finally ended up with Penzoil Plat. Can't tell a difference at all when the oil is fresh. Also engine never burned oil on Penz.

I bought Hankook evo for the Lexus and it was very smooth, before I changed the car.

I used to use Mobil 1 in my IS 350. I can confirm my engine was quieter on cold stars when I switched to Ultra Plat.

I've used Rowe, no complaints

Akebono pads are fine, but not great.
