Team. Good evening.
Please, I want to service my car RX350 2011 for the first time since I bought it, my mechanic is recommending Mobil XHP 20W-50 instead of synthetic oil, he said since the engine has accumulated milage, (approx 100K) that the synthetic is not good for the engine.
Appreciate advice from senior members

Hello house, please how reliable is the Lexus GS430? I am thinking of getting one...is it a good buy? How about the fuel consumption?

I hope you're not gonna compare a 4.3l V8 with a Toyota corolla as what you mean by fuel consumption? That's a V8 powered Lexus with a good build quality but if power and economy is what you want, I'll rather advise you go for GS350 instead. It has a better power plant and economy than the GS430. That's my opinion though.

Are you sure there's no tracker installed inside? This is very rare for a Lexus to refuse to start.

It has AC and lower arm issues. mileage is below 30k. Any words of advice my dear seniors?

Have it checked properly. Do NOT buy the car cos its a cheap deal. That car has highly complex electronic brake by wire system which when damaged, could set you back by 500,000, that engine when damaged could set you back by over 1million, I'm not gonna talk more about even the AC and electronics system that's also highly complex plus it's parts are pricey. You know that's an S class and 7 series competitor. Have it thoroughly checked before committing cash.

Also, you blamed your mechanic for the woes of your Venza, now when you buy this more complex car you may want to have him maintain destroy it abi?

How do you guys run these Lexus cars when almost all including their SUVs and Crossovers require premium fuel?

Is that not something to worry about? That has been my worry purchasing one.

Buy it you can use octane booster

The octane boosters hamper the shelf life of the engine long term.

Then again, are you going to keep loading up the octane boosters at every refill considering the cost?

These are my concerns purchasing a Lexus.

Well, we all know it's what you'd have to live with being in a darned country where quality control is non existent. Also, bear in mind, this is a Lexus, not some BMW or Alfa Romeo or Range Rover. You'd be fine trust me, only ish I see here is slightly reduced power out put and quicker build up of carbon deposits on intake and injectors. The Lexus brands can do well with our sub party quality fuel.

Oh well, I get it, you're a middle man who's didn't do his homework prior to throwing up this advert. That Lexus is at best a 2015 Model. Please do not deceive ignorant or gullible people with that advert.

FYI, and to every uninformed buyers, here are pictures of what a 2018 Lexus RX looks like pls.
