Especially the 05-06. I change mine every 5000 miles at the Lexus garage and I buy my own Mobile 1 extended and I swear by it. These cars are so good if you take care of them.
So good to see you boy’s having a go. Be brave and keep going, keep learning and keep creating content. Before you know it you’ll be more famous than Scotty. Just don’t let it go to your heads. I’ll be watching. The LS 430 is an amazing car by the way.
Use mobile one full synthetic 5w30 extended service for all my baby. I always buy my oem Toyota filter cheaply on Amazon. Your type oil is far too cheap for luxury V8 vehicles. BTW used motor oil can be great for outdoor wood preservative too.
Well done. Don't allow used motor oil to make contact with your skin; it is carcinogenic. Removing the filler cap will allow the oil to drain faster. I think the capacity with a new filter is something like 5.8 qts. While, as I recall, 10w30 is permitted by Toyota in hot weather, it's not recommended. Toyota oil filters are excellent and inexpensive. Some will tell you that the crush washer must be replaced with each change. Frankly I used the same one for 10 years before replacing it. Still worked well. It isn't really necessary to add oil to the filter, esp. when it's almost horizontal. IF it were installed vertically with opening upward (or a canister filter), I would.
I used 10w40 with no problem.. Its hot here in dubai and some times temperature reach up to 120f and my son has an ls400 and he uses cheap oil 20w50 with no issues.
@@aesa3628 Probably OK, but, of course, you can't know. You'd have to be able to measure main bearing wear, camshaft wear, etc. on the test engine and a control that started identical. Both would have to be started repeatedly cold and run under identical conditions. I'll trust the engineers who designed the engines.
You should be replacing the drain plug gasket at each change regardless of how it looks. The oil filter cover and oil pan need to be cleaned a lot better (the owner won't like drips on their floor and oil residue attracts and holds road grime.
I agree with gene f. Maybe a little brake cleaner or other degreaser and a more absorbant towel. The paper towels you are using smear more than clean up. Ok for checking the dip stick but not for cleaning. Also I was always told by my dad, never tighten a filter any tighter than you can with one hand. I think you were over tightening a little. I made the mistake of really cranking down on a filter a much smaller engine. I tighten so much that the gasket rolls and it leaked. I knew it when I did it :( Lastly the oil on the gasket before putting it on is not to help with removal next time it is to help seal and prevent leaks. Great vid...love the young future mechanics
I used the same crush washer for 16 years before replacing it just because one was included with the filter. No leaks. No problems. The general rule on tightening is hand tight plus 1/4 - 1/2 additional turn.
Thanks gentlemen, makes me feel silly being 40 and having HS students teach me to work on my car. LOL, oh well. Super cool that the HS has that education available.
Keep working on cars,trucks, especially diesel trucks,lotta money to be made as a diesel mechanic,good luck in the future and you might wanna invest in wearing gloves,the less contaminates on your skin the better off you'll be...
Anyone know how to measure the oil to recommended amount I bought a 5 quart Mobil 1 then put one quart of Lucas oil stabilizer. With Mobil one oil filter.
@@garvensgarage8903 I am not actually sure you know how to read oil viscosity. The first number is start up viscosity. Getting oil on top of the engine is critical from the oil pump during start up.10W30 is thicker than 5W30 at start up and will increase wear.
@@garvensgarage8903 I suppose you know more than all those engineers and scientists at Lexus. I use the recommended oil, I do not want to wear my engine at startup. Summer and winter startup temps are not much different compared to operating temps.
Shell Oil Corporation makes this oil under contract for Wal-Mart. Quality is just fine compared to other full synthetic brands. Guys like you must think Wal-Mart has it's own refineries!
@@garvensgarage8903 for an oil change you did fine. But I assume that you don't aspire to work at Jiffy Lube. I apologize if you thought that I was ranking on you. But the advice about wearing gloves is spot on and even though you said that removing the pan in order to avoid spilling oil on it after removing the filter would take too much time, that is what someone who owns a lexus would expect. Everyone your age is learning, or at least should be, so just keep plugging away and shoot for the stars ✨.
LS430 - one of the best cars ever produced
it took 2 Billion $ to create the car from the bottom up.

@@edwardluth7740 Picked up a 05 "base model" recently. Really love the car, nice to work on too !
Dope to see young dudes get their hands dirty ... the amount of money you save doing basic maintenance is insane
If only all such Videos were this excellent … Less chatting and straight to the job…
Thank you! Saved me 20mins of looking for the oil filter!

Wear gloves son!!
Yeah, that's a good idea.
thumbs up for not afraid of getting your hands dirty
Thank you.

I checked this car's introduction,Toyota recommends 5w. 30 in summer,10w. 40 in winter. I have a LS430 16years old,best wishes from China

I've never used a washer in 45 years of changing my own oil. Never even seen one. Never had a leak.
Great to see this kind of stuff is being taught in some high schools! Should be required for everyone- especially men.
AWESOME VIDEO GUYS !!!!! Thanks !!!
good job guys and thanks now I know what to do when i get my ls430
Yep, no problem. They are great cars.
You guys know what you're doing? Thumbs Up +++ Don't forget to close the cap. I forgot to do that once and what a freakin' mess. LOL
Haha sounds good, thanks for the thumbs up.
Thanks gentlemen, makes me feel silly being 40 and having HS students teach me to work on my car. LOL, oh well. Super cool that the HS has that education available.
Why does he have to wear gloves? He can perfectly wash his hands after. LOL!
Love the oil down the forearm and oil all over the underbody. Lol. Glad to see it’s an easy job though.
Ls430.. calls for 5w30
Yeah but it was going to be used in summer and changed before winter so it was fine.
Good job guys. Keep it up.
Nice video.
Is this a good used car to buy for the size and power?
It is a great vehicle
Great buy
One of the best ever built maybe even the very best you won't regret it
Nice video
good job guys
I'm trying to figure out why do idiots say that there is no way to check your oil on a 2006 LS430 V8? Talking as if the car doesn't have an oil stick.
It has a dipstick
Why didn't you take the oil filter covering all the way off and avoid spilling oil on it?
You wouldn't work on my Lexus.
@@gkvogt that would be like 20 more screws than needed. Completely pointless.
@@garvensgarage8903 If you say so.
@@garvensgarage8903 You did good. Would be a waste of time

Like the enthusiasm but ALWAYS use a new "crush washer".
Hasn't leaked yet. At all.
I've never used one in 45 years of changing my own oil. Never even seen one. Never had a leak.
Anyone know how to measure the oil to recommended amount I bought a 5 quart Mobil 1 then put one quart of Lucas oil stabilizer. With Mobil one oil filter.
Yeah, you look at the dipstick.
On most dipsticks it’s about 1 quart between empty and full. So if it’s in between, it’s half a quart needed
Recommended oil is 5W30. Don't want oil on top of the engine on start-up? Use the unrecommended 10W30...... Does not matter that it is summer.
Thicker oil will only allow for more oil on the top end of the engine. Not less.
@@garvensgarage8903 I am not actually sure you know how to read oil viscosity. The first number is start up viscosity. Getting oil on top of the engine is critical from the oil pump during start up.10W30 is thicker than 5W30 at start up and will increase wear.
@@johnpaulson996 that’s why we run it only in summer. That way it is not an issue like it would be in winter weather

Pull the plug from the side not the front so you do not get burnt or spill oil on your hands contaminating tools/work station
Thank you. Thats a good idea!
Is that one of those rent a shop places?
No, it is our automotive class at our high school.
Ugh. Why?? Not a good idea to go thicker on cold temp weight on a good engine.
We are currently driving it in summer only, but once winter comes it will be changed to a 0w-something.
If that's what the manual specifies...but ONLY if.
I cringed
@@paystyles5429 Funny. I just finished changing the motor oil and filter in my '98 LS400.
0:57 Not recommended for what???
Great vid but use a good quality oil, not that super tech garbage on the Lexus.
I stopped watching when I seen Supertech 10w30 oil

Good try boy
Haha thanks.
Sorry guys, I wouldn't let you work on my Lexus Ls460l. But keep refining your methods and take the advise from old farts like me. 👍
What did we do so wrong that would make us less quality than anyone else? Just looking for advice.

Regular Wally world oil? seriously kid?
Yes really
Yes
When did Walmart start making oil?
Most Wal Mart Synthetic ,I Heard is Quaker State
Honey go get my car lift
