Good ride, use quality oil, parts are a bit pricey when available. It's a luxurious sports car dont expect much fuel economy with the 3.7L HR engine but the economy is smiles per gallon handles well too on the road.
Mines loves pennzoil 5w30...... Nice ride

Haven’t driven one yet but I own the 2008 G35X.

I just don’t know if it’s me but I’m always smiling in that ride.

I haven’t had any reason to source for parts but you must take car of that ride and be ready to use only quality fluids and parts.

Let us know what you finally get
Below is the one I saw at a dealership .. I drive the 2011 g25x and I use Pennzoil 5w30 .. Before I was using Mobil 1 Extended Performance .... My G25x seems to prefer pennzoil ..........

Those g35 are fast and nice to drive especiallly on long trips ..... Am hoping to get a 2011 g37Xs ....nice cars and low maintenance .....

Which other quality oil do you have available? I’ll be due for servicing next month
We have Mobil 1 Extended Performance..... We did a huge delivery about two weeks.. So we might have some left.........

Due to high demand and unstable naira .. We advice that you buy extra and keep aside.. Exchange rate has not been good at all .... And shipping companies are having tough time delivery containers to various customers in the USA now ..........

There is also a shortage of truck drivers as we speak now.... The USA haulage industry is going through tough time... Nobody wants to work ..........

Once goods arrive we advice to buy extra and keep........ We thank you for your loyal support ....

Pennzoil is a very good oil and I can attest to its quality. I’ve been sourcing from Dru since I got my Lexus and it’s a very good oil. At Dru do you have pennzoil oil available now. I need please
For now No..... Due to logistic issues for the past few months.. Getting a container to load was very challenging ..... So we finally got one and all the goodies will arrive by Xmas period.........


They will be more than enough to go around.... We got you covered and we appreciate your business

Please which engine oil and Transmission fluid is best for Lexus RX 350 2010 with 141,000 mileage
For your engine oil 0w20 pennzoil is highly talked about among Lexus car owner


For your ATF picture below.. If your transmission fluid as a pinkish color don't change it .. But if it is dark color plz change... Talk to a car expert either way .. Transmission fluid is not something u change often and if u do change it often u can end up damaging it...


The Rx350 is 1 of my favorite car ...take good care of it and pamper it like a baby..

I get u, but in this case nothing is constructed...it's d automatic compressor wiring that is left out of the party grin
It's not advisable to buy tokunbo automatic compressor, he has to go for original brand new and that is more than X4 the cost of tokunbo manual compressor which can easily be gotten in ladipo. Hence, I said if he can't find it or can't afford it, he should manage the manual compressor no harm done.
Nothing should left out of the party grin manufacture did not designs things to be left out the party grin..... Bottom line let him stick to the automatic compressor .. The system was design for automatic compressor......

Yes ideally a new compressor should be replace .. Depending on the car price range can be roughly between $200 to $500 without labour.......

Now since brand new is expensive ... If he wanted which I have done myself.. I can get a neatly use from eBay with low miles and he is good to go.......

Simple as 1,2,3 .....And he will not have to worry about the wear and tear to his engine........

At the end of the day .. A very well qualified and train technician will advice against it .. And advice getting a brand new 1 ... Or better yet worse comes to worse will say get a fairly used with A grade.......

Since you are not in the business of parts.. Most of these used parts sold do have a 6months to 1 year warranty on it .......

Once these parts are taken out from accidental cars. The parts usually will be tested to make sure it will work well wink I buy used parts alot for my client ......


Whenever the young man is ready .. I will help him source for good compressor.. And he will not have to worry about wear and tear of his engine .. Or better yet worry about is car vibrating grin

U r getting me wrong ooo grin ... We r talking specifically about Toyota Corolla 2008/09 AC compressor. Not generally on all manufacturer specifications.
The automatic compressor is a technological improvement, instead of the ac to be working continuously non stop, it will regulate automatically based on cabin temperature, on the other hand a manual compressor just continues to blow until u shut it off or reduce d fan speed.
Therefore whether u use automatic or manual compressor, both will work just fine. We have advised it will have effect in d long term on the engine but asides that, it will work alright.
It is d auto compressor that is d improvement on the manual compressor.
The logical thinking here is that .. If the manufacture build the compressor to be manual .. The engine design and components will be design to accommodate the manual compressor......

Now the Nigeria way , converting what was meant for automatic to manual.. The Nigerian mechanic will likely built, wire and construct additional component to convert or forcefully to manual.. Whatever the case may be something is constructed ...........

And me personally I don't like that .............

Cool. I'm also having same issues with Davit but December is a long time especially in this business. Do you mind giving me a bill for the compressor ?

Besides, the cost + shipping on eBay is high. what ya say ?
Depending on the price .. You can actually get good deals on eBay .. A customer requested for steering pump for a 2010 Toyota Camry ..... The landing cost that I charge him was about 35k naira using the exchange rate of $1 to 520..

So depending on what u want I can get it for u and work with ur budget......

Some of these things are technological improvements for better efficiency, doesn't mean d old version will do harm or will not work.
In this case of AC automatic or Manual compressor...like I said it's better he replaces with automatic but in d absence of that or if he can't afford d automatic, d manual will work just fine. Albeit, with limitations compared to d automatic one.
I am contributing because I have experienced it. My Corolla 08 AC had issue about 5yrs ago, mechanic didn't even know it was switch problem, he condemned my automatic compressor and installed a manual one. Manual one didn't work also, until he discovered it was AC switch that was d problem. Long story short, d manual compressor is still what is in the car till today, thats Wifey's car, Berger to Lekki everyday.

At the bolded...I like that idea...but are we guaranteed that a compressor bought in New York was used in New York all its life or maybe it was ripped off a car that was used in Texas all it's life? We can never know.
Technological improvements...... So you telling me that all these years for example ..

A 2007 camry that has been using an automatic a/c compressor till their currant 2022 model didn't know that they had to improve their compressor after how many years......

So it is u now that you will now suggest to them that using a manual compressor is a form of technological improvement... A multi billion dollar company didn't know all these years.........

They way Africans configure and do things.. I guess u know better than the manufacture..........


Bro make we end this matter I beg .........

Omo... Suddenly my AC no dey cool for afternoon as usual sad

In the morning and night it's cool Wen idle...But Wen on the move by these hours it's the usual mortuary standard cooling.

But afternoon it's almost useless.. What could be the cause abeg huh
From experience your compressor might be going bad. I had to change the compressor years ago and I made sure I use the original a/c freon .. I think it was about 5k naira for a can that time
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by dru23(m):
Pearl1910:
Always preferable u change to d factory-fit automatic in ur car but if that is not available u can convert to manual. It still works fine, but AC will not regulate like the automatic, this will lead to more load on ur engine and increase fuel consumption and wear. That's all.
If the manufacture wanted the compressor to be manual or felt manual was much better .. They would have install all manual compressor instead of automatic ........If a manufacture had automatic compressor in all their cars generation , they must be a reason for that .........

Parts like a/c compressor, alternator, fan belt etc all have a life span .. Some are good till about 100k miles or more before replacement.... A manual compressor will over work the engine and causing more damage in the long run ... It is never ok to use a manual to replace an automatic.........And I will not advice anyone to do so ........And yes a manual might last longer than automatic at the expense of your engine.......


I don't have two heads.. I have never used a manual compressor in any of my cars at all... I always use genuine a/c freon gas at all times to prevent my compressor from damaging ....... If any of compressor fails me I just order it on eBay from a low mileage car......

Now certain states that don't have hot weather year round, meaning that drivers don't use a/c all the time . their compressor tend to last longer than states that have hot weather year round.....

davit:
You mean automatic compressor is better?
What am saying is that people were converting their automatic compressor to manual.....which is very wrong and bad for the engine ... If your car comes with an automatic compressor stick with it and don't allow any mechanic to replace it with a manual compressor.......stick with what came with the car

I honestly don't trust A/C gas as work can take another turn unknowingly from them. But the last person I use is in clegg surulere by the name Aro. You just have to b careful around them as they don't still to instruction, they've aleady cut and join b4 u say jack.
Most of the a/c gas used in the market are either fake or substandard.......due to this alot of a/c compressor got damage ..... And a/c compressor that are bought in the spare part market have less than a week guarantee .... And most will last few weeks and u end up buying another again......
And this is why u see alot of manual conversions.. Which is not good for the engine of the car ... We discuss this in the past

We at dru23 will be importing our own hence fourth from now on ....

Today didn’t end well at all.
Set destination trip to mainland, bolt gave me Tinubu square island, no problem.
Got to pick up and two island semi local girls started rushing for front seat, struggling to seat in front of my low mileage Camry, while third one jejely went to back seat.
Rider Infront : don’t try dt with me again, I book ride and u want to seat in front seat.
Rider back: next ride I will seat infront no argument. I love front seat.
Me: (just shock cos most times ladies want to seat at owners corner)
Trip went well, they were making me laugh and singing all songs I’m jamming and it was fun really cos of their funny gist and very free.
Got to destination
Rider front seat: end trip pls cos of our money
Me: small change 700N
Rider: should I rate u or not
Me: if u will rate me well go ahead (I really don’t care cos I was on 4.97*)
She picked phone started from 1star and no more stars so she went to options.
Me: go back go back
Rider: it’s not going back (showed me the phone)
Me: no it can go back
Next thing she ticked one box and said let’s see if it will go back , no back arrow. As I was trying to find the back button she clicked on Done
I scccreeeaammeddddd nooooooo
The one at the back felt for me and said Ahhhhhh u done mess up. We started looking for how to undone it for like 5mins
Long and short of story dts how they rate all drivers thinking they are doing good ratings.
My ratings dropped from 4.97 to 4.88 instantly.
As if that was not enough
Still on destination trip got trip to my hood.
Picked male rider
Long story short
[b]someone hit my window with stone, how it didn’t break is only Gods that knows.
Hit the first time I moved forward and second time he stoned it, luckily the road was a bit free so I zoomed forward a bit but still in traffic. Thank God they didn’t come after us.
My rider was already shaking.

Guys pls be careful out there my morale is low.
From low ratings to attempt to rob.
