Just followed your video to change oil on my rx350. Your instructions were better than the pro mechanics, plus your calm methodical voice is exactly what we all needed to hear. I swear every time I hear Scotty screech I die a little inside.
I'm watching this because I read that the dealers use the cheapest oil they can buy and sometimes skip replacing the gaskets, That was a truly excellent tutorial, your video gives me the confidence to do this on my own, the reset was much easier than anticipated, Thanks!
Nice vid! Really helped me do the job. Thanks! Some comments from my experience. 8:24 and 10:45 The oil filter housing has 3 tabs on one side and 1 tab on the other (180 deg opposite) side; the oil filter housing socket has matching slots. Make sure to match them up because removal of the housing is next to impossible unless the housing and socket are exactly matched. As Rob noted, after most commercial oil changes the oil filter housing is way, WAY over-torqued, certainly much more than 18 ft.-lbs and removal can be a major PITA. I had to use a breaker bar to get enough leverage to start unscrewing it. 6:00 I attached some plastic tubing (from excess I had from lawn sprinkler work) to the provided plastic fitting to drain the oil filter housing. Adequate workaround if you don't have the metal fitting he uses. 4:40 and 5:55 About 20 years ago I started using oil drain plug valves on my vehicles and it's a nice feature that I don't have to get oil all over my hands any more when I remove the drain pan plug. On some types there's a "nipple" where plastic tubing can be attached to prevents drips (or wind spray as in this vid). Fumoto is a big brand but there are others out there. Drain plug valves are also fantastic if you over-fill the sump and have to remove just a little (you're correct in wondering how I know that, LOL).
The odd thing is that Motivx now make their oil filter removal socket so that it does NOT engage those tabs. On their Amazon listing for the MX2320 the images state "old style wrench can cause broken tabs" and "engages only the top fluted portion of the filter housing".
FYI, you forgot to detach old washer from oil pan. You put double washer. You use flat screw driver to take out easily. Also, side note of the Toyota type oil filter wrench to be getting stuck sometime due to your warm engine oil, use flat screw driver works the best. I do this for my 2013 IS and 2016 RX.
I noticed that also... all that fancy tools but forgot to remove old washer. Also draining filter cup for making less mess is not really true. I just partially unscrew the filter housing and let it drain then just remove it directly in oil catch pan. Watching this video seems that I make less mess by skipping using that drain hose.
@@YesNo018draining the canister absolutely makes for less mess. Loosening the canister to drain it will soak the outside of it with oil. That’s not messier to you?? Though the hose is unnecessary, just use the plastic drain valve that comes with the filter

Awesome video, thank you Rob! Been changing my oil all of my life. Have a 2000 4Runner, 2005 Sequoia (RIP), 2019 Sequoia, and a 2006 Land Cruiser. The wifes 2017 RX 350 was a new animal. Appreciate your help!
Cool ramps. Great tools. I would highly recommend putting blocks or some time of stopper behind the rear tires. Even with the E break on, that would be a rough way to die.
Where'd you get the funnel? A trick to get more old oil and sludge accumulating at the bottom of the pan when you do an oil chg is to add a quart of fresh oil with the drain plug still out.
Great video , I like the motiv products , I have the oil filter wrench , Funnel & 24 mm socket from them for our 2015 IS 250 .... Now I'll be using it for our 2021 Rx 350 when the factory oil changes are up . Thanks for the video
The Car Care Nut and other channels recommend 5,000 mile intervals if you want the engine to last longer, despite what the owner's manual states. My 09 Camry 3.5L oil has been changed at 5,000 miles and has 356,000 miles on it and does not use any oil.
Great video, not totally surprised Lexus used a plastic canister housing for cost savings but I would get a metal one. Also surprised the bottom of the vehicle wasn't buttoned up in the front.
It is not for cost savings, in case you do a cross thread, you could possibly damage the engine housing, in this case the bakelite cap can take the damage and be replaced
Doing oil change may look hard in the beginning but once you do it more than once it becomes very normal and even doing it other cars too, it something very important that everyone that own a car should learn.

Great job. One suggestion would be loosen the main cartridge, but keep your drain tube connected and you’ll find it after turning the main cartridge. A few turns more will come out of your drain tube.
It is very useful and simple. I do not trust the servicemen for changing the oil. I have seen many different cases, like hitting my radiator for opening the oil filter for the Toyota that I had and not changing any oil and oil filter and claiming it is done. I prefer to it myself.
Hi Rob This was very helpful. Its virtually the same process for the IS 250/350 all years & as you rightly observe, minus all the plastic covers! That oil filter drain tube is excellent to stop a mess, im getting one!!! Thanks ::)) Mike
I don't know why they couldn't put the filters on top like on German cars. Makes it easier and less messy. Cool video thanks for posting and for showing the tools as well.
I am very interested in knowing about the 2017 RX350 Lexus SUV automatic transmission fluid change and flush. One or two videos show how it is done but the steps are not very clear. Could you please make a thorough and clear one for the benefits of the readers? Thank you very much for sharing your expertise and experience.
I ended up trading in the RX for a LX due to expanded family. If I recall it's "lifetime" fluid but I do understand the concern as it can't be forever truly.
@@RobDaman Is that enough height to do the oil change? I have a CRV and I bought rhino ramps to do oil change but seemed kind of low. Are rhino ramps ok for the lexus? Also, any tips on how to break loose a really tight oil drain plug? mine is not as easy as in your vide unfortunately....

thanks for watching.. that is correct. here's the specs but use your dipstick to be sure... 5.8 quarts (5.5 liters) - with filter change, for vehicles with towing package 5.7 quarts (5.4 liters) - with filter change, for vehicles without towing package 5.6 quarts (5.3 liters) - without filter change
Hey man, is that a stuck crush washer on the pan? or it is part of the oil pan? My new Lexus oil pan looks like yours. but when I removed the drain plug, there is no crush washer from the factory. Now I am not sure if it is stuck on the pan or that's the mouth of the drain hole.
Do you not take off the top engine oil cap before you drain the oil? Doesnt that allow the old oil to drain faster with air being sucked in as the old drains out?
Very good video indeed. Maybe tell us what happens after you reset the oil maintenance schedule, i.e at what mileage before the remainder will let you know again. at 10k or 20k? Thanks, Rob.
Awesome video thanks! At 11:46 it looks like there is some debris on the filter and then he puts it into the housing. Make sure your filters are clean before hand!
Robert question.I went on the link to buy those car ramps you have because I love them over the plastic unsafe ones.They finally got back to me and I saw the price as 65.00 each on the website.Now they want to sell them to me for 128.00 a piece because they are in Canada?My question is did they rip you off like that in price?Im willing to pay 130.00 for the pair but not 256 for the pair.
Hi Rob, this is a useful video for people, in particular I liked the tool with tubing for draining the filter! One thing I would point out is that its not safe to get under the car without jack stands or a jack under the car as a second (back-up) form of support.
Awesome vid. One recommendation I would give is upgrade the oil filter housing to an aluminum one. I think yours is the plastic one? Those tend to crack, especially if you go to those express oil change places. They over torque it and crack the housing. Again, not required, just a nice upgrade! Keep up the great work!
Today I brought my 2016 Lexus to Dealer. They are recommend me a rear brake rotor cut and replace rear brake pad at $450. Is this sound too much money? also they are doing an aligment at $280. is that too much for wheel alignment?
I'm assuming this is a USA dealer and us dollar quoted. I'd shop around at maybe a toyota dealer or independent shop. I'm sure the work is good but my opinion price is high.
I haven't looked up all the scheduled maintenance for the RX till 60k but you could always look at an independent shop costs. Unless brakes are included it may be on the high side.
Thank you for the very thorough video. For 2019 NX300 F Sport you use the same oil filter 04152-YZZA & drain plug washer? Where did you get the torq specs?Are the torq specs for the RX350 same as the NX300 F Sport? Thanks Rob
I found them online via a service manual and also motivx site to confirm. It should be the same across the board for Toyota/Lexus. I would also consider the aluminum housing replacement for peace of mind ruclips.net/video/2m2HKr35rqU/видео.html
Rob how much for all the parts and to do the oil change for someone who needs to get all the stuff together to do the job. My local Lexus dealer wants $90 to change it out What do you think? Do it myself ?...

Those tend to crack, especially if you go to those express oil change places. They over torque it and crack the housing. Again, not required, just a nice upgrade! Keep up the great work!
yes. we encountered that exact issue so we did a video on it later in time ruclips.net/video/2m2HKr35rqU/видео.html
Today I brought my 2016 Lexus to Dealer.
They are recommend me a rear brake rotor cut and replace rear brake pad at $450. Is this sound too much money? also they are doing an aligment at $280. is that too much for wheel alignment?
I'm assuming this is a USA dealer and us dollar quoted.
I'd shop around at maybe a toyota dealer or independent shop. I'm sure the work is good but my opinion price is high.
Anyone used Penzoil 0W-20 Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic Oil for these vehicles?
What are your thoughts on the 60.000 mile $1200 Lexus dealership maintenance?
I haven't looked up all the scheduled maintenance for the RX till 60k but you could always look at an independent shop costs. Unless brakes are included it may be on the high side.
Thank you for the very thorough video. For 2019 NX300 F Sport you use the same oil filter 04152-YZZA & drain plug washer? Where did you get the torq specs?Are the torq specs for the RX350 same as the NX300 F Sport? Thanks Rob
I found them online via a service manual and also motivx site to confirm.
It should be the same across the board for Toyota/Lexus.
I would also consider the aluminum housing replacement for peace of mind

@@RobDaman thanks
Hi will this method be the same on 2015 rx350?
Hi,
It'll be a similar concept but may not be exactly the same spots.
Rob how much for all the parts and to do the oil change for someone who needs to get all the stuff together to do the job.
My local Lexus dealer wants $90 to change it out
What do you think? Do it myself ?...
It's not a hard job and total parts would be close to that but you'll have the tools so your cost next time would be $30 ish.
here's the list...
you need that oil filter wrench. The other 2 are nice to have too but not as critical.

Are you from Vietnam
ll special tools out of stock? sold out?
really? must be diy demand
can I do the oil change with no jack?
You mean getting on the ramps or in general? If it's ramps it's no. I just find it easier.
Can this also apply to lexus es350 2019?
Hi yes but the locations of drain may be different slightly as well as covers. The tools n process are similar.. I've worked on 3 different cars w same steps
@@RobDaman appreciate the response i love your videos iv never tried to change oil myself, just bought a lexus es350 2019 this is very helpful thank you 🙏🏻
12:24 the "oops" is why you use cardboard. Where are your gloves?
Where did u get your funnel?
Nice video! Very clear and detailed. Wondering is that a 3/8 ratchet or 1/2? Thanks!
that was 3/8
Where did you purchase the ramps
Is that oil we can use for 10.000 miles anh ? Thanks
Yes. All synthetics you can run 10k no issues
Today was a holiday but I had to take care of my wife's RX350 oil change.
...and of couse I did a video 😄
It's lengthy as I wanted to cover all the steps of the oil change.

Jenna Mendez hi. I have links for it in this video’a description
Lovely Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Parlandealey Vanish Ringworm Process (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off guide for revealing how to repair your vehicle minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got astronomical results with it.
How is fuel efficiency on this thing compare to new 2019 rav4??
And reliable??
instaBlaster...
@@alanh8101 reliability is probably better, fit and finish is definitely better, fuel economy is worse, but it is apples and oranges, the RX is huge compared to the RAV 4. The RAV 4 compares more to the NX .
Unless I missed it in the video you never removed the old crush washer before installing the new one...
I did my drain plug to 27 ft lbs. will that be ok?
You'll be fine
Super good video. Thanks!
Question: are those rubber ramps available on Amazon? If not, where did you get those from?
i got em here a long time ago and still hold up

Just ordered these ramps.I got them down to 105.00 each after customs charges and shipping from Canada
Love your video! Where did you get that ramp?
