Did I just read that the recommended oil for 2010 lexus es350 is 0w20?
.. He stated that the recommended oil online says 0w20 ... I stated that he should follow owners manual at all times.

99% of the time the online recommended suggestion via google is what the vehicle manual will suggest... Maybe he might to say 2010 Rx350 ..
But I know for a fact that RX350 2010 recommended oil is 0w20. I don't even need to go online to double check that.......but I also stated that he should always follows owners manual advice .......

People tend to use 5w30 for Rx350. And their reason is "Nigerian weather" and 0w20 is too thin etc ..... But if it is due to "Nigerian weather" factor because it is hot year round etc ... A more suitable option will be 0w30 .... Either way 0w20 will do well regardless of hot or cold weather...

But also the recommended oil for 2010 es350 is 5w30 .....so the confusion is coming from him..

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.
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

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?
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........

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.
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 ....

No original engine oil. Even the one from usa most are fake. Go to amazon and read reviews.u go tire. To see original oil and test if its original. I'm still learning. But soon I would do a video...too many fake oils repackaged inside an original container with scannable bar code with results. How worse can it get. We need to test the oil specially with tools before e enter engine.

This is the bar code to scan to determine if the oil is original. Any mobil 1 that doesnt have the below barcode is not original

Here is a perfect video on how its done.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci8LwuPiB5g
The Mobil 1 that import are from the USA . So the qr scan code are at the back(pic3) . And the manufacture date is also at the back (pic2). And Mobil 1 in video manufacture date is at the edge of the cover

The Mobil 1 you posted is From Singapore and labeling is different from the USA . And the Mobil 1 in the video seems like an old Mobil design ......

The currant Mobil 1 has an added design to its kegs. (Pic 1) new design . triple action new Formula

All the same both are original from both countries. Let us try to avoid confusing the public ...........

@dru23 Please i need your help as regards my Lexus RX 350 2013 AC. It stopped working after been parked for a month while i was away. Though it was warmed on weekly basis but when i got back, the AC stopped working. You can buzz me whatsapp 08059178113
Baba sorry to hear that.. It might be a minor issue that is affecting it .. Maybe rat start family under the hood of car and in the process chop wire or sensor that is now affecting the a/c ....

From personal experience I won't recommend any a/c tech. Whether na mechanic or a/c tech once dey touch your car. It will never be the same again... But I can give you few pointers below.......

1. If compressor is the issue do not buy tokunbo .. You are better off buying brand new compressor from the USA ... It will cost at least about $500. If it is done right a/c will last another few years.....

2.. Stay away from made in China compressor ... Avoid stories that will touch the heart..

3. Please stay away from made in China freon or a/c tech freon. Because you can't guarantee the originality .. Most freon made in Nigeria will damage your compressor and your a/c no go be like follow come a/c. It does make sense to buy $500 plus a/c compressor and than use 5k naira 134a freon .. It will end in tears...

I do sell the 134a freon for 10k . You might need about 2 or 3 cans. This is if you are lucky to get a/c tech that knows what he is doing I.....


Please take your time and do ur research .. Rx350 are lovely cars and my favorite cars. And funny enough I think from 2022 Lexus as stop making them in v6. Which is very sad. They are now in 4cylinder turbo very sad indeed........

Avoid a/c tech that will turn your dashboard into Xmas lights . even though Xmas is around the corner, no be that kind Xmas u wan for your dashboard. Good luck bro

Please what is the best oil type for Camry 07. Total or Mobil. Thank you
Keep in mind camry 4cylinder from at least 2007 to 2009 have factory defect. The are known to short oil, you might lucky urs is 1 of many few that does not short oil ... If yours does not short oil continue using the recommended 5w30...... But if it does try 5w40 to start with and monitor it from there. Don't go overboard using 20w50 ...

"Good day! My Kia Optima's recommended oil type is 5w-30, and I've been using Mobil 1. However, after rebuilding the engine, my mechanic suggests switching to Visco 2000 due to Nigeria's temperatures. He mentioned that the Mobil 1 oil is too light in texture. Should I stick to Mobil 1 5w-30, or is it advisable to follow his recommendation and switch to Visco oil?"
This is a double edge sword here.. Most engine that are rebuilt will never last more than 6months to 1yr. In most cases a mechanic will advice you to get a tokunbo engine.... But if he does a rebuilt he can only guarantee you 6months... Have had bad experience with so call good mechanics..........

There is no such thing as oil for Nigerian weather etc .. Very unfortunate we have more unprofessional mechanics than professional ones.. I always advice people to follow owners manual at all times..

Even if you are going to deviate from owvners manual there should not be too much of a gap from the viscosity of the oil.. E.g. owners manuals says use 5w20 , but you have no access to 5w20.. Than I will use 5w30 .. Manuals says use 0w20 , but I have access to 0w30 , you can see that the gap is not too bad.. But this only advisable in a year around hot climate weather.. Regardless of weather conditions 20w50 is too thick for any engine .. You will end up gradually killing your engine and oil pump

So back to your matter like Shakespeare " to do or not to do .Thats the question" it is basically up to you

As we enter Xmas festival period... This is the period that sales are very high for us ........

We want members of public to beware of the oil they are buying.... I have taken time to go around and see for myself .

During my findings I noticed few difference between fake Mobil 1 oil and original ....

And also the currant cost of Mobil 1 oil at Mobil station .. The ones sold at Mobil 1 station is not USA brand and it sells at 51,500....


1. The original Mobil 1 will let you scan the barcode. While the fake you can't scan it .

2. The original Mobil 1 has a manufacture date on the back (pic1) below .. While the fake does not have

3. If you pay close attention. The original Mobil 1 has a plastered Mobil 1 logo (pic2) .The little scratch I made was me trying to peal off the front off ..... The fake is copied on the keg ..

If all fails just download free scantrust q code from Google . scan the barcode (pic3) . once you scan it will take you to Mobil 1 website and tells you the specific of the oil weight e.g 5w-20 , 5w40, 5w30 etc

I could go on and on about how to differentiate fake oil from original . But there is no need for that

If it is done properly and your a/c compressor is in perfect working order. 134a REFRIGERANT should last you at least 1yr plus .. This is based on the fact that there is no leak in the a/c system.......

5w30 is ok , 100% better than using 20w50.... To avoid stories that touch.. Avoid 20w50 at all cost.......
