Did you try using spacers? I have similar problem as my bank 1 cat was stolen. I am considering O2 spacers if it will work. Balistic4: |
Re: Club-Lexus by Balistic4: 8:57am On Dec 27, 2023 |
eightsin:Yes, I used spacers and it didn't work. Is yours es350? Was there any code before they stole the cat? What code do you get now? |
Re: Club-Lexus by kingreign(m): 9:14am On Dec 27, 2023 |
Balistic4: Driving short distance does no good to modern cars. From cold start, your engine ECM is in open loop, the ECT sensors and AF sensors informs your ECM of this which then the ECM commands the injectors to pour in more fuel into the combustion chambers to quickly bring your engine to operating optimal temperature and once this threshold is reached, the ECM goes into closed loop thus making your car operate at the best power and economy it can provide safely. Since you drive short distances, your car will keep taking more fuel. I'd also advise you perform some tune ups to help. 1 Like 1 Share |

Balistic4: Mine is es350 2008...there was no code until the stupid Painter stole the bank1 catalyst. I have arrested him and he said he will pay end of February. So I was considering spacers before then. The code is below

eightsin: Get a spacer. It works. I've installed them on a good number of lexus and toyota. Absence of cats doesn't necessarily relates to increased fuel consumption in toyotas some lexus (yours inclusive). In toyota and lexus, its purely for emissions purposes. 2 Likes |
Re: Club-Lexus by Balistic4: 9:29am On Dec 27, 2023 |
kingreign:Which tune ups do you recommend. You know I'm a fan of tune ups, I will just drop for your office at any given chance On the side, do you think the presence of cat will reduce the amount of fuel poured during this cold start? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Balistic4: 9:31am On Dec 27, 2023 |
eightsin:If this is the only code, then yes, just one spacer will do it. I don't have that code even with no cat in my exhaust cause of spacers 1 Like |

Balistic4: The state of the various components will tell what type of tune-ups that needs to be carried out. Presence or absence of cats doesn't affect the air/fuel ratio at cold start, however, blocked exhaust (from broken cats or blocked cat converters or use of wire mesh to suppress sound) does affect the fuel economy badly. 1 Like |
Re: Club-Lexus by eightsin(m): 9:48am On Dec 27, 2023 |
What tune up will you advise sir? Edited.. ignore boss.. I've seen your answer kingreign: |
Re: Club-Lexus by eightsin(m): 9:52am On Dec 27, 2023 |
This is a relief boss. Thanks a lot. So the absence of this bank1 cat will not cause increase in fuel kingreign: |

Re: Club-Lexus by visita: 11:49am On Dec 30, 2023 |
Good day guys. Please I need urgent advise. My rx 350 2010 ac compressor just stopped working and I want to fix it. All AC technicians I’ve come across are saying I’ll have to replace with a manual compressor instead of the auto that came with the vehicle. Some of them went ahead to explain at length the reason for this but from what I gathered online (especially nl) it’s totally unadvisable. I’m confused on what to do now as I’ve been driving the car without ac. Please those that have been in this situation how did you go about it? |

Good morning everyone, I recently purchased my first car, a Lexus ES350 2010 model and serviced it for the first time about three weeks ago with Mobil 1 - 5W-30 engine oil. I am reading online that the recommendation oil for the engine is 0W-20. I am also reading that oil depends on the environment temperature (country), I would love to hear from other users what oil they use and how it affects the Lexus engine. Lastly, I need a recommendation for good a car OBD scanner that works very well to detect error codes. 1 Like |
Re: Club-Lexus by Angrigowt: 11:41am On Dec 31, 2023 |
Oil is oil. Whats the purpose of engine oil. O metal to metal contact...lubrication. enjoy your car my guy. 0w20 is like water when it gets heated up. Use 5w30 or 5w40 or 20w50. Nigeria is too hot and 0w20 is too lite. Whoever turn the 5w30 really like u. yemi2plus: |
Re: Club-Lexus by dru23(m): 12:16pm On Dec 31, 2023 |
yemi2plus: Follow the manufacture advice at all times. They design the engine and they are highly educated...... Avoid uneducated advice from uneducated people e get reason......... 0w20 is the correct engine oil for it .... If you follow the owners manual. It tells you to use engine oil that meets the manufacture specifications ... It can be any brand of engine oil ...... 0w20 is formulated to work in any type of weather conditions....... But if decide to deviate from the manufacture advice don't go all the way left and use something too heavy..... But there are few exceptions ..eg since you are operating the vehicle at hotter temperature year round 0w30 will be ok...... Avoid using 20w50 at all cost... The cost of import is very high now due to the weak naira... And lots of fake engine oil plenty for market now .... |
Re: Club-Lexus by yemi2plus(m): 12:29pm On Dec 31, 2023 |
dru23: Thanks for your input. Considering that Nigeria temperature is hot almost all year round, do you advice I continue using the 5W-30 or change to the manufacturer recommended oil. |
Re: Club-Lexus by dru23(m): 12:38pm On Dec 31, 2023 |
visita: Please avoid using manual compressor . 2010 Rx350 are nice cars.. Once they convert it manual compressor that car will never be the same again.. The conversion will weaken the engine and all types of Xmas lights will show up on the dashboard and you burn more fuel...... The best way and the only way to go is buy brand genuine ac compressor that came with the car ... This will cost you around $600 or more and hopefully that will be the only thing you will need to buy........ Avoid buying China made a/c compressor.. It will end in tears.. I am talking from experience. And even if u do buy a brand new original ac compressor to get a competent a/c tech na another story and nightmare on its own. I no longer recommend anyone to anybody ......... 2010 rx350 is a lovely car just to have someone go in there and mess it up. .... But more than likely 80% once someone touches that a/c system that car will never be the same again.... I talk from experience........ 1 Like |

He wants your engine to knock. Dont worry. Go and use the 0w20.so when the engine knocks.your eye go clear. He sells fake oil.so better listen to me use 5w30 or 40. Go ahead and use 0w20.since na texas we dey.when the oil dry out.engine knock u go hail. yemi2plus: |
Re: Club-Lexus by dru23(m): 12:54pm On Dec 31, 2023 |
yemi2plus: Me personally I will not use it . because I have access to all these oil .. I would have use 0w30 since the operating temperature is going to be hot year around .. 0w30 will give it best protection year round than 0w20... But 5w30 should be ok .. But my preference will 0w30 |
