I'm using LEXOL and FIEBING's FOUR-WAY conditioner.
As far as telling you 'no', it won't bring that 'tannish' color to your seats, I can't do that because with the King Ranch Leather that I'm treating, it's basically all the same color.
I seriously doubt it will harm your leather in any way/shape/form however. Lexol has been in the industry for a long long time and has a great reputation.
We in the King Ranch forum have discussed leather care until we're all blue in the face.
One thing I will recommend to you if and when you condition... do not use products containing glycerine. Glycerine has a tendency to break down stitching and will deteorate leather in a rapid fashion.
I, personally, would test the lexol in a 'hidden' area. From there, you can decide if it's the product for you.
GOOD LUCK

The problem is the leather is in the middle of the suede. What im afraid of is the Lexol bleeding from the leather into the suede. The leather is black, the suede is grey in color.
Ive been using Lexol for many years on my Cobra. I also have the Lexol leather cleaner.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Lexol is NOT recommended for suede and thus, personally, I'd be careful not to let the lexol run over but, other than that, as long as you take care to not cross-over, I don't think you'll have ANY problems.
Just spray or pour a little Lexol on a terry-cotton towel, use a thin piece of cardboard to seperate the two leather sections (suede and leather), and apply the Lexol.
Using the cardboard, hold it vertically to keep your rag from getting over to the suede portion.
I use the cardboard trick to keep wax off the trim.
G'luck.
