Starting to regret purchase

[ultane]

Considering that our LC has very few km on it so far, I'm not impressed. Issues include the rising oil level; the dealer promised to contact Toyota about this more than four months ago but no reply yet. And one day, pretty much every warning light and system failure warning lit up. That happened around Christmas time; maybe the LC wanted to get in on the seasonal light shows. And then there's the very poor fuel economy. And, in my opinion, Toyota should have put a non-hybrid V6 into the LC.

The important thing, however, is that my wife wanted it and likes the way it looks.

These engines seem to have a problem with fuel (gasoline) getting into the oil. That would be my first worry.

Indeed, my first two oil changes both showed fuel in the oil (sent to SPEEDiagnostix for analysis), with no signs of antifreeze in the oil.

I just change Miss Daisy’s oil for the third time at ~10,000 miles, but the analysis is not back yet.

My worry beads are out.

I can attest to that. I have a GX550 and I'm averaging 15 to 17 mpg. The Hybrid has almost the same horsepower and torque with better milage. I still love my truck but I really like the LC's as well.

One thing I’d like to see is the 6g4R stock ECU/transmission/hybrid software tuning come to the LC250 platform. Yt reviewers all say that the 6g4R has a bit better tuned drivetrain. Wonder why Toyota can’t just reflash our ECUs to reflect what they’ve got lol.

Please let us know your results!

I will. Probably in Miss Daisy’s thread, since I will never find this thread again.

I have lot’s to talk about. It will be one of those TL;DR posts..
