If the oil is black it needs changing, and as said previously if its close to a service it would more than likely be black anyhow.

10W - 40 is a good choice 5W- 30 is also good. Your choice!

In My IS 200SE I use 10W - 40 Gastrol GTX Magnatec and it is fine. 5W - 30 is fine too especially in the winter However a 6K Oil and Filter change should keep the engine in top condition. :D

I meant the roller and belt cost 75 Quid including some pin that goes with it so I bought the parts from Lexus, and i got the work done by a local garage in Reading The Car Bar, not Lexus Reading. And It was the Car Bar that told me to change the tensioner too, which was quite nice of them.

UPDATE Spoke to Lexus Reading they told me it was 100K. Spoke to Local respectable garage and they told me Lexus recommend 100K or 6 Years whatever comes first. Also to get the Cambelt kit installed i.e. 1 Cambelt 2 Roller 3 PIN Bought all three items from Lexus Reading for 75 Quid, today and the Labour was 150 quid from the same garage. Lexus were charging 350 - 400 damn rip off!!

Hi I have just bought a Lexus IS 200 SE on a 99/T The mileage is genuine 49K. Q Does the cambelt need to be replaced at 100K? As for example most cars is 40K or 4 years whatever comes frist! So does the cambelt need to be changed at 100K only or after a certain period of time also? Cheers
