Which oil is being used in this one as sometimes oil is also an issue

[arslansohail84]

I poured taglon 5-50 for my first engine oil change in this car. And it was burning about 1ltr or more in every 1000km.
But after that i used aisin 20-50 in it and it didnt burn any oil till 1500km but the car was running a little heavy not as smooth as it used to be with 5-50 so i didnt took a risk and return it to the previous owner.
Other then the engine burning oil it was a flawless car and really looked like it was geniunly driven 55000km.

Interesting did it have the active suspension option? And was it painted or touched from any areas

[arslansohail84]

There is No mark x which comes with active suspension.
As the car was wrapped when i bought it so i dont know how many pcs were touched up but since i was buying through a reference so i trusted the seller and according to him only 1 door was resprayed.

[mwanwar]

Issue was oil as this has been the issue with liqui moly also discussed this with members of mark x club Malaysia n some oils does not suit the engine anyways

[fd3safridi]

I’m really interested in that particular car and I need advice by active suspension I meant the one with the sports suspension and comfort button

[arslansohail84]

I showed this car to a couple of big mechanics they told me bhai engine khole ga behter hai engine change.
Coz It was not only burning oil it was also throughing white smoke at high rpms

[arslansohail84]

This car dosnt have sport suspension as it has teak interior.
Sport suspension only came in cars which has black interior.
From 2006 and ownwards sport suspension was also available with beigh interior cars and those cars are very very rare here in pak.

[mwanwar]

Than either milage was tempered or it was abused one

[mwanwar]

I have a 250s with sport suspension

[arslansohail84]

Do you have sport suspension with beigh interior?
I already said that sport suspension came with cars that have black interior in 2004 to 2005 models.
I also had a 2004 model 250s back in 2014 but had to sell it due to an accident by my younger brother.

[arslansohail84]

Yes Either the milage was tempered or it could be a manufacturing fault coz this 3gr engines had a fault of pistons getting fried very quickly. I read it on U.S lexus IS model forms. Lexus IS 250 and IS 300 share same parts and engine just the interior and exterior is different.

[fd3safridi]

Hmm

[fd3safridi]

Can u get the sports suspension installed tho?

[fd3safridi]

What’s the difference between a 250g and a 300g performance wise?

[arslansohail84]

No cannot install sport suspension

[arslansohail84]

250 g does 0-100 in 7.5 to 8.5secs
300g does it in 6.5 to 7 secs
Not a very big difference but still you can easily feel the difference in acceleration

[fd3safridi]

Hmm

Hey guys,

Can any one help in finding out a clean Mark x, preferably S or 300. But if the car is a very clean 250G will also consider.
Also i did check one, to be honest ive always kept local cars (civics mostly) so not too sure as to what all to check.
Drove a markx once , fell in love with the drive, so now want to pursue.
So if anyone is selling a clean car, or knows someone, or can help me inspect in detail everything, i would be very grateful.
Regards,
Sauban
