Helix HX8 is great and proper value for money. Used that a few times on my Lexus however eventually reverted to dealer servicing (due to convenience) and Toyota/Lexus insist on using 15w40 on these NA cars :cautious:
This story seems a bit farfetched especially not wanting dealer to assess it... wonder if its another case of realizing the installment is too much so lets make up something ridiculous
People are quick to knock the Chinese brands but will blindly trust some Jap models without checking where these vehicles are made. Maruti Suzuki have been known for cutting corners over the years. Wouldn't touch them with your 10 foot pole.
Lexus is 13 years and 205k km. Still perfect but my needs are now changing. In any case it is due for some maintenance soon which wont be cheap (shocks, gearbox service, pads/discs and tyres) so timing is right to start thinking about it.
After a week of holiday driving on some very rough roads in the Drakensberg and KZN, as well as dealing with limited space, I’m starting to think it might be time for something new—especially if I want to keep doing more trips like this. Travelling with a 1 year old also brings its own...
