Where can I get this oil?
I use myparts. Just find them on jiji or jumia. You can also pre order from dru23. That is my option now cause myparts can get very expensive quickly

Ok thank you.
Is it better than Mobil 1? Car is fsport 2017 and over 80k miles foreign use.

Yesterday was a partial sad day for me. The hose that ran from the aftermarket transmission cooler to the transmission pulled in high speed, didn't realize it until I got to church and it was too late, I lost all the fluid.

I really underestimated the fluid pressure and paid dearly for it cry cry cry
Bloody sight

Sorry boss,

Glad you were able to fix without damages.

Mobil 1 is a nice oil but I stay away from it because the fakes are too much. The pennzoil is made from natural oil and the reviews are good. Just stick with one and don't keep changing brands. I don't think anyone is better, so far you change the oil frequently. I do 4 months max

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

Re: Life And Times Of My 2016 Lexus Rx350 by Port443(op): 10:25am On Jun 14
Checked aliexpress and the cost of the original sensor alone is almost $120 , I decided to replace the whole mirror alongside the sensor

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 kiss kiss 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

Engine serviced at 79298 miles.

Thanks @dru23 for delivering the oil in short notice

Re: Life And Times Of My 2016 Lexus Rx350 by Port443(op): 3:26pm On Jul 07
Started the transmission cooler installation, I tested the oil pressure and damn it's good grin grin grin

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.

Re: Life And Times Of My 2016 Lexus Rx350 by Port443(op): 4:00pm On Jul 07
Transmission cooler installation completed, will drain and refill Transmission fluid tomorrow

Re: Life And Times Of My 2016 Lexus Rx350 by Dwarfgod: 7:26pm On Jul 07
Transmission travel time has increased.. You need to add at least half quart to the normal measurement/Guage.

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 grin grin grin grin

I forgot to update the thread grin grin grin
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 kiss kiss kiss kiss

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

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

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 grin grin grin grin

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

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

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.
