I have a 2000 TL that I've done all kinds of mods to; I absolutely love the car, the best car I've ever owned. I've upgraded the wheels, suspension, exhaust and brakes and added all the little JDM do-dads to make the car unique.

I bought it used with ~33K miles on it in 2002 and it now has 61K miles. I've been using Mobil 1 0W-30 boosted with an extra shot of Moly and the engine doesn't burn a drop of oil. I do a trans fluid drain & fill and TB/intake clean at every oil change. I had the oil jet installed in my trans and so far not a problem.

So far the only problem I have is the dome light doesn't work which is annoying when you have to get into a pitch black car late at night/early in the morning. I have checked the bulb and it's not that; I get the feeling it's the "multiplexer" (the circuit board that controls the interior lights, $$$$).

Oh, I've been using 89 octane mid-grade with FP and the car runs perfectly. Hopefully this combination will stave off any carbon build up so I won't get the dreaded "EGR passages blocked" error code.
