Good morning gurus in the house, please I want to know what could be wrong with my ES350, when I accelerate to 80mph i get this vibrations from my steering and also when I apply brakes I feel the vibration too and I just did my wheel balancing and alignment also just recently changed my brakes , I don’t know if it not done properly and I also just changed my front tires and the vehicle when I accelerate I get a feeling like it’s forcing itself to move I sense a kind of hesitation.
Vibrations: check your brake rotor disc. Mostly caused by uneven wear of the disc surface. Replace the rotor disc or do what they call 'brake rotor resurfacing'. It has happened to me before.

Hesitation when Accelerating: Scan the vehicle for misfire codes. Also keep an eye on the fuel system.

Xhp is not the recommended oil
It is too heavy for the car
Oil circulation will be be slow and may affect internal engine parts
It will cause sludge
And cause engine failure

Re: Club-Lexus by emmalated(m): 4:28pm On Dec 17, 2021

I thought Tinted permit has been stopped.
I don't wish to remove the tints.

I’d say go for the GS350.
If you’re buying a Lexus of those years, always aim for the 350 models. Really fun car to drive. Reliability is 100%. Enough power to play with those RWD.

Good evening my boss, so I went to see a technician and complained about the issue I have with my car, he said the gas was low, so we refiled the gas and I payed him for it. But the next day I noticed I was still having the same problem, AC doesn't blow cold air while on idle and starts blowing cold air while I'm in motion.
Can you please recommend a good technician to fix it for me in benin? Thank you

Hello everyone.......I ordered for RX330 and it arrived this week, unfortunately, the catalyst with the pipe was no where to be found.

Please advise on how to go about this.

Which oil and lubricant do you recommend for the car?, including other servicing i should carry out on the car before using it.

The check engine light is on.
Re: Club-Lexus by Tunji2020: 3:52am On Dec 21, 2021

Start by scanning the car.
Also, check its service history or you can use the VIN to check. Look out for when last oil, ATF and belt was changed.

Use mobile 1 5w 30 for engine oil service.

Please don't touch your gear box oil. Just try and check if it is guage. This done when the car is running in park.

Scan the car for codes
Check coolant level and use the recommended original coolant if it is low

Does the gear box get spoilt if you attempt to change the oil?

Not necessarily.
1. Bad, substandard, fake or wrong fluids spoil transmissions.
2. Dirty tools, environment and careless mechanics spoil transmissions.

I just serviced my Acura transmission and transfer case as it was due (A13). Car still drives fine. I made sure everything involved in the process was spotlessly clean.
Bought fluids from luvvinhubby (OEM).
