@OP, let me just say, its great to see someone who is taking solid care of his rides and documenting meticulously. The way you take care of your car is the way I hope to be able to take care of mine in the near future, but till then, I'm having a lot of fun reading and learning.

Wonder if my 05 avalon can give the rx a good race.

@Kingreign, I hail o!

I'm glad you enjoyed the discussions and timelines

The 05 Avalon, on paper would definitely win this very RX, however, that very Avalon has aged a bit but a healthy one will definitely outrun this RX.
After using the Volvo, I now have a little idea of what a sports car should look like, I can't even race a corolla with the RX again, it is very slow However, what the RX lacks in agility, it makes up for it with comfort and reliability.

If e sure for you, stake everything you have on Argentina win

There's no contest here. It's a no brainer. Some ignoramus will push or drag you into what you don't want. It's better to ignore them. No be every rain wey fall dey gather flood.

If you want to race, look for an IS350 or a GS350 & have a go at it. Come back with feedback.

Multiple BMW drivers are looking for who to race with. I saw a C43 yesterday & apparently, they guy wanted a race but I guess capable cars are on vacation.

True

valarinz:
To be honest, it wouldn't have been a contest, it's more like Anthony Joshua in the ring with Portable

Only problem here is: Portable misjudging the situation and assuming himself to be AJ

This is fatality

I was wondering whose prayer the beheaded man was answered

Had a very funny and sweet experience today from Abuja Airport. I was pulling out with my volvo, been thirsty for a race but not today as I had my kids with me after dropping wifey at the airport. This 2025 prado triggered me. I'm sure he'd go home to research on volvo product. @valarinz I wish I videoed the outcome for you

dru23:
Ultra platinum no be child play. We have shipment coming this week. I will advice to buy a carton and keep...

Due to the middle east crisis now . There is shortage of engine oil in the USA..

Alright, I'll consider that.

I forgot to update the thread
I ended up taking the car to my house same day and serviced the transmission with the help of a local mechanic. The RX is a lot smoother now, wifey is really happy with the outcome

Also I just noticed that the oil is different @dru23, this is not the usual high mileage, this is the highly coveted ultra platinum

The car has never been smoother though, maybe we can keep it at this ultra platinum, though it is rarer than the high mileage

Decided to downgrade my tyre from 265/50/20 to 245/50/20. Also swapped my spare for another spare with recent manufactured year (2025), I'm tired of road safety harassing me anytime I travel

Dwarfgod:
Transmission travel time has increased.. You need to add at least half quart to the normal measurement/Guage.

Truer word brotherly. I will do just that in the morning

Transmission cooler installation completed, will drain and refill Transmission fluid tomorrow

Started the transmission cooler installation, I tested the oil pressure and damn it's good

As usual, the cooler is in series with OEM cooler, this installation is easier than that of the volvo. The car will sleep here for today, will service the transmission in the morning.

Engine serviced at 79298 miles.

Thanks @dru23 for delivering the oil in short notice

The transmission cooler is here, and it's biggg. I love it!

Gbaja should have been suspended long ago and handed over to the authorities for investigation but here we are. Nigerian government is always quick to hold Nigerians to world standards but hold themselves to 5th world standards.

Tinubu just surrounded himself with criminals. Little doubt he himself is one

Still available

Your pictures did did not do justice to this beautiful ride.

You can say that again

Very sweet ride with zero issues

Still available.

My next project on the RX is an additional transmission cooler. The factory cooler is performing below expectation, I just ordered for 20 row universal transmission cooler, I feel this one will be a bit big considering that what I installed in my baby Volvo is 14 row. I smell holiday traveling, I can't wait to see what will happen under serious thermal stress on the highway!!!

@dru23 if you have Toyota ws, let me know, I will need to change the transmission oil after installing this cooler

dru23:
Baba lol I just say make I see wetin dey for nairaland and I come see ur post lol . I burst out laughing


So funny enough today my Tiktok customer placed special order for his 2008 Rx350
spark plugs. So if you need spark plugs let me know

A healthy spark plugs saves fuel and keeps your engine more efficient....

We don't charge for shipping we only buy at the cost price. These are small items that don't weigh much.....

PS... Let me know how the blunt effects is . The bubble gum scent is highly recommended

yeah, you dey try, keep up the good work.
how much for the spark plugs? 6 units

Ready to service my big boy

Thanks a lot @dru23, I went for the pineapple flavor, will try it and give feedback

Only the best for my volvo . Thank you @dru23

Louiscars:

The volvo is up for sale, more details available here

Checked aliexpress and the cost of the original sensor alone is almost $120 , I decided to replace the whole mirror alongside the sensor

Got this error on the volvo. Seems the ambient temperature sensor is weak, causes check engine light on the dash

Tinubu on the beat. Senile old man killing youths and being praised for it

Cleanest s60

sacajawea:
But it is Swedish.
A Swedish maker.

Bingo! Best of both worlds
