The Lexus 86 month battery in our 2013 GS350 F Sport has been in the car for almost 6 years Gas was corroding the positive terminal; I cleaned it a month ago and checked it yesterday. Blue corrosion again. Decided to just swap out the battery to stop further damage to starter wire, etc.
Bought a Costco Interstate Group 24 battery, pulled out the Lexus battery and dropped the terminal in a cup of baking soda and hot water. Fizzed up nicely. Anyways, the terminal is toast; part is corroded away.
Lexus wants like $38 for a new positive terminal, part # 90982-05062. Can I use an aftermarket or just bite the bullet? Maybe Toyota has the terminal for a few bucks cheaper?
Sheesh.
