@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
I have had my 08 isf for 5+ years now. About 120k on it. I've never had any mechanical issues. Still insanely in love with it! No plans on getting rid of it in the near future.
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
@@aq4316 I change the oil on all my vehicles every 10k. Mobil 1 or Amsoil. 2005 Tahoe 160k, 2004 Chevy Trailblazer 160k, 2009 Pontiac G8 V6 190k and all run perfectly and burn no oil.
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. The saddest start of a Year for me in my 21 Years of Life 😪
I wish we had more Lexus mechanics like Jared. I would definitely take my 2011 ISF to him. He has a great disposition and working within such tight constraints, he still manages a smile.

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
My wife's 08 RX 350 has 240k miles. I just changed the original Lexus battery after 12 years and a tune up from original plugs and coils. It's our second Lexus, she flipped and rolled her first, going 71 mph and walked away without a scratch.
The definition of 'immensely wet' has changed through the years - kind of like the definition of 'phone'. If this were an aircooled VW, this is called 'dry'.

I gotta get me one those! Great video. Lexus/Toyota seems to overbuild their engines. I had a gs400 with 300k on it. Leaky valve covers were about the extent of the problems at that mileage. Glad to know these ISFs can hold up as I will be buying a high mileage one soon myself.
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.
Wow, that motor looks amazing. I wish the previous owner on my M3 would have taken care of it. It was pretty damn Bronze and sludgy after only 120k. Damn PO's.

The best part is most people that spend new Lexus $ take very good care or their cars.

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: 🤷🏻♂️
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.
Hey Jarrad, you and Freddie should hire me to keep site 2 and site 1 going while you all are out filming and doing the PR of UA-cam. I can keep the builds going, maintenance, and otherwise. Cheers!
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.
@@Krzysztof_88 you do know that the isf was specifically made to beat the m3? Right? It's a good car, but you can easily always mod and tune the engine to beat modern BMW
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. ua-cam.com/video/FFRuNajUC_4/v-deo.html
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.
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.
Love your videos, Jared. I look forward to seeing you either in this site or with Tavarish. Your explanations are top-notch, and I admire you for your love of your pup.
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!
Idk about that statement the turbo 300z motor was a nightmare everytime I worked on one. Every repair I had to pull the intake off everytime. Got REAL good at it also had nightmares about it. Lol
Nice ride ! Now Jared make yourself a favor and get yourself a Limited slip Diff from a 2010+ Or an aftermarket one. I noticed the wheel turning the opposite direction when you changed the RR wheel bearing. How could Toyota sell those with an open diff in 08-10 is unbelievable. Diff swap = LIFE , especially if you drive hard. Better traction, much better car control and you can brake way deeper with a 1.5way clutch-type lsd.
Check around 20:05 on you'll see a leak on your drivers side likely from the hoses above.. can see the liquid spraying in the air. Also on your plastic covers..
You NEVER want to just adjust the length of the control arm by eye. If you are going to do it, do it while it's on a wheel alignment machne so you can get perfectly even camber and toe settings. You'll never have it even by eye. Even 0.5 of a degree will mean the difference on the track. I'm a wheel aligner and tyre fitter of 12 years.
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.
Wish I had the guts to take on a project like this on my daily driver. I've been driving Lexus LS cars for the last 20 years... I get them 75K or a little higher, then put over 200K on them, till I sell them off... Love the cars but, projects like this I really wish I had the skill set for.
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.

You NEVER want to just adjust the length of the control arm by eye. If you are going to do it, do it while it's on a wheel alignment machne so you can get perfectly even camber and toe settings. You'll never have it even by eye. Even 0.5 of a degree will mean the difference on the track.

I think I missed the whole of the rear wheel bearing replacement because I was too busy looking at the good doggo's reflection.
Video is so informative just for general mechanics, SUBSCRIBED!!!
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.
came for the wrenching stayed for the doggo!
You are one of the best mechanics I've ever seen.
Wish I had the guts to take on a project like this on my daily driver. I've been driving Lexus LS cars for the last 20 years... I get them 75K or a little higher, then put over 200K on them, till I sell them off... Love the cars but, projects like this I really wish I had the skill set for.
You have a great dog channel with awesome car related intermissions 😁
Season 3 of Car Trek already? o.O Definitely not complaining.
Can we get more IS-F content?
