It will fail after a few years. Nothing last for ever.

My currant car now infinit g25x 2011 model. Has been using the same a/c compressor from day 1. That is 13 yrs ago .

The average life span of a/c compressor is about 10yrs . If the compressor fails me now and I replace it I will have another 10yrs plus of usage. I don't think I want to drive the same car for 20yrs. It go tire me. So the compressor has over serve it's purpose.. it try or he no try...

What Nigeria lacks is maintenance culture... If you maintain your car it will serve it's purpose and you enjoy am ...

Use the original a/c gas . Your compressor will reward for years to come.... Use the recommended engine oil your engine will run smooth and last years.....

Make we at least learn from the white man small .

See, I still insist, nothing last forever. It may last 99 years, it may last 50 years. Even 350 years. Its not forever. Eventually every machine will break down due to age, wear and tear. Your choice of word is what I am criticizing.

Check Engine light with code P420 and P430 on 2012 Lexus RX 350. It comes back after clearing when the engine revs high. What could be the cause?

Constant check engine light
Just small increase in fuel consumption
Direct toks 2012 around 400k to 450k
But you can get lower price for working one or china product

Stop this misinformation pls.
A catalytic converter's job isn't for fuel economy regulation but purely for emissions purposes. To speed up the reaction and clean up of SO4 and NOx coming from burnt fuel. Heck, a car without a cat can experience slightly better fuel economy due to the non restricted exhaust flow.

Very good information sir. So i can rock the car without the cat grin, the high cost of replacing it is not even encouraging.

a spacer is a device that fools the ecu to think that a car has Catalytic converter whereas it does not. When you have a spacer installed, the P0420 and P0430 codes is not stored in the memory of the computer.

I have a few left, 07034581213 DM via WhatsApp to find out more.

Hi everyone, good morning.

I own a Lexus Es350 2011 that I've been servicing with Mobil 1 5w30

But the Mobil filling station in my vicinity relocated without telling me 🤲

I'm planning to switch to a much more readily available brand like Hardex 5w30, as that's more convenient than having to order Mobil 1 from vendors or online every time I want to service my car.

Can I go ahead to make this change without any effect to the car?

Please advise.

Thank you.

I have my reservation about hardex oil but getting Mobil oil shouldn't be that scarce in your state. But try Castrol oils like Edge brand

For them to relocate without telling you, let's sue them to court. angry angry

Pls, I can't advise you to use a product I can't vouch for. Stick to a reputable product. There are a good number of products in the market, I won't give names cos doing so is giving them free adverts.
