Update: Thankfully when the stud snapped off, it was at the end so after using the die with vice grips, I was able to rethread AND there was enough thread to secure a new lug nut.

Obviously, the last thing I...
Already replaced the air filter. Will clean the throttle body as well, thanks for the suggestion!
This ES300 has 207k miles and has been a reliable vehicle....NO major issues and plan to keep it on the road.
