My 2010 RX350 with the same V6 has 170k on it and still gets me 24 MPG - Denso factory plugs are life, prove me wrong.
I’ve used Powerstop pads and rotors as well as Akebono pads. Rotors are so so, but definitely better than Duralast IMO. Recently did a brake job with Detroit Axle pads on my current GX, VERY happy with the pads so far, even with my original rotors.
It's just an insanely great car. Quiet as a tomb, ultra comfortable and smooth, powerful, and great visibility. Unbelievably good headlights that in fact steer. One thing that I find just incredible, having owned many German cars including a Mercedes S Class, is how well it tracks. It literally drives like it's on rails. Has to be one of the greatest highway mile-eaters of all time. Given modern car sizes it's really not all that big. About the size of an E-Class Merc or a new Lexus IS.
I replaced mine at 129k miles due to a small leak in the bottom of the radiator. I purchased an OEM Denso one on Amazon for 220 and it's been working great, no issues with trans temp as well.
i use peak 50/50 Red stuff formulated for toyota lexus and scion
I switched to valvoline restore and protect on my 06 is250 and it’s working great. The valves are a lot quieter compared to the previous oil I was using which was Kirkland synthetic.
Honestly, any brand should be okay as long as you change your oil every 5k miles. Personally I run Penz ultra plat. I never burn oil with it and my engine sounds quieter than it did w/ Mobil 1.
OEM is first choice, or Advics Aftermarket, which are almost to the level of OEM. Dont bother with power stop if you are looking for performance and longevity.
Akebono pads are fine, but not great.
Hated the pirellis. They barely last 2 seasons on my is300
Michelins always last 4 seasons
