I recently(3 months ago) serviced my 2012 Lexus Rx 350 with Fanfaro WS transmission oil..as I couldn’t ascertain the genuineness of those Toyota WS variants being sold around. So far, I’ve not had any issues with it. I also reside in Ibadan..and it’s advisable that you allow an experienced profession gearbox specialist(repairer) handle the job. His work environment also, must be entirely free of dirt.
Ps: Mine took about 5 liters…


We import original Mobil 1 from the USA . And we also do special order. When it comes to your car please buy original fluids to avoid tears......

I will be loading end of October. Place your order for the transmission fluid . We can ship out of Lagos

Advice needed.
2012 Rx 350 or 2014 es 350?

To be driven in a state with not so perfect roads.
Personally I like sedan but I'm also open to considerations.
Does ground clearance really matter or not ?
Advice a bro. Thank you

I’ve got the 2012 RX 350…and I also have a friend that has the 2014 ES 350. There were times that my friend and I exchanged rides…and these were my observations;
The ES 350 feels more luxurious and obviously handles better. Also, it has a reasonable ground clearance for its design. But, if you’re ready to sacrifice better handling, and luxury…for great ground clearance..then, go for the RX.
Ps: The RX is my daily runaround vehicle. The road to my crib is terrible…yet, I haven’t replaced any suspension/strut part..in 10 months.

At any point in time before this problem started, was your battery drained that you had to jump start with another battery? Or was there any time that the battery terminal was removed for sometime and then reconnected?

I’m also facing this issue on my rx 350. But only from 1st to 2nd gear. The remaining changes are normal. Scanned vehicle and transmission. Nothing came up. Only hope now is to do a drain and fill of transmission fluid to see if it’ll correct it

exactly from 1st to 2nd gear. I had to sell same car last two years when’s I was unable to fix it only to experience same problem. I’m currently in the mechanic workshop. They scanned it again and said it might be one of the plugs. They are trying to change it. Hopefully it works.

Which year RX350?
Don't touch that gearbox UNLESS whoever is doing this for you has done it for you before without complains. That transmission (whether U151E or F aka 13pin or U660/760E or F aka 22 pin) is super sensitive to oil level and the procedure of replacing the fluid, especially the 22pin.

Don't say you were not advised

I haven’t done that. I’m already demoralized. The last one was taken to Lagos twice for fixing yet nothing, I had different mechanic work on it yet nothing. Though most of them kept pointing to the module, but even after several trials and changing of these modules nothing came out.

That's quite out of my reach.

Reach out to me on Whatsapp, let's see if you can take it to auto technician with a proper scan tool, I'll direct him what to do.

Need to be recalibrate that if the transmission never start to fold up ohh.
Dmamasboy(m): 6:30pm On Nov 06, 2024
Hello house. My Lexus is250 gives an odour when I suddenly rev the car up to a much higher speed while on the road. Or when I’m speeding on the highway (sometimes). Anybody know what the issue is? I thought of unburnt fuel and changed my plugs a while back but it still persists.
