..........YEP I RARELY use the ICE....only use no Gas / Battery for 49 miles....However , I run the ICE FOR I MILE EVERY MONTH TO KEEP FLUIDS / GASKETS MOISTI change the oil every year as oil deteriorates.

[@raysanguinetti7208]

63 yrs old, been changing my oil my whole life. Recently bought the 23 RX350h, same motor as yours. Tried to use my ramps and they were to tall. Your vid showed me Jack points, filter wrench, oil reset procedure as well as socket sizes. Very happy I found this and watched in advance. THANK YOU!

[@carswithsonduren]

Congratulations on the RX and thank you for the compliments! I hope it went really smoothly and welcome to the channel!

[@marksullivan3424]

I’m also one that likes to drop the oil on a new car around 3k - 5k KM. However, if you plan on driving the vehicle for 10 plus years, I would not follow recommended oil change intervals. I would do Half of what they recommend….so if they say 15,000km, change the oil at 7k. Or at 50% oil life if your car has this feature.

[@lukman8400]

Great video! Few suggestions for folks trying to do it yourself: 1. Open the drain plug first, not filter. 2. After oil starts to flow, open the hood and open the oil add cap and leave the cap on without tightening. It will help oil drain better. 3. Then loosen and take out the filter. 4. Definitely get a new oil plug gasket. Thanks again for the video, in changed oil many times on other vehicles and wanted to see if there are any peculiarities with nx350h.

[@Revoncheap]

I was wondering the drain plug washer/gasket (if it had one), too.

[@LaughAltizer]

So the filter I just pulled off my fiancés Lexus is a YZZN1 but the one you have linked in the description is a YZZF1. Appreciate the video! Very helpful.

[@dm19609721]

nice to see Toyota/Lexus went away from those aweful canister filters to a spin on oil filter.....the plastic housings were prone to crack........nice to see the easy accessibility...

[@heyTRVLwithME]

This is by far the best oil change instruction video I've seen. The instructions are clear, concise, and the video quality is awesome. Do you know what size the drain bolt crush washer is? Also, I believe you said the drain bolt should be tightened to 15ft/lb of torque. I've seen on websites that specifies 30ft/lb. Could you confirm which is accurate? Thanks in advance!

[@carswithsonduren]

I did 15ft/lb and thank you :)

[@alimalexander6421]

Thank you, this helped a lot !!!

[@appleforever6664]

My 2019 NX300 takes 5.2 Quarts. However, I put all of the 5 Quarts. .2 Less Oil will not kill it. On new vehicles. Change at 1,000 miles. Then at 3,000 miles. I change the oil on my car every 3,000 miles.

[@SM-le7qb]

Great job!

[@goldpilgrim]

I couldn't find 0W16, I'll use 0W20 instead. I change oil at 1 year or 5-6K mile intervals. I mix brands and viscosities

[@ronleczner3646]

Up to you to use 0W20. FYI, my owner's manual for 2024 RX350h says only use 0W20 in emergency and change to 0W16 next oil change. Maybe check your manual but probably no big deal either way.

[@goldpilgrim]

@@ronleczner3646 I spoke to cab drivers. They mostly use 0W20, any brand and not hybrid specific. 0W16 is hard to find in 5 qt bottles. 0W16 can only be better in very cold climates. I drive in Brooklyn. The manual also says "change oil after 6 months even at low mileage", which defies common sense.

[@MrUKokot]

Fellow Canadian here and watch ur videos since getting our own 350h. Curious, does DIY oil changes void warranty in Canada, as I plan on doing my own as well? Also, is that Pennzoil as good as the Lexus 0W16?

[@carswithsonduren]

First, thank you for subscribing and following along :) no DIY oil changes will not void your warranty. Please keep a receipt of all of your parts and keep your records. Finally Pennzoil platinum is excellent and meets all the SAE standards required for this engine.

[@ArtUr-of1ul]

Very helpful video of yours! Just got small question regarding oil filter part. On the video I can notice the filter model 90915-YZZN1, but the one from amazon link is 90915-YZZF1, are they the same models?

[@carswithsonduren]

Same models, simply a different revision. It works with both I actually confirmed with the dealer. The F1 is slightly taller.

[@ArtUr-of1ul]

Thanks a lot for explaining!@@carswithsonduren

[@cherrayjee9029]

Hi Sonduren! I have the exact same vehicle and want to thank you for showing us how to change oil on a 350h! Question though.. do you think car ramps(Rhino/motomaster) would work as well?

[@carswithsonduren]

Glad it was helpful man :) they should work, I have some fear about the ramps so I stick with the tried and true.

[@Revoncheap]

Is the procedure the same for the rarer NX250? Looks like the same engine (to me) minus the hybrid components.

[@SaeedSardari]

Hi mate thanks for all these videos made for Lexus Nx350h. My concerns about buying a Hybrid car is its battery replacement cost. I am sure that you did a research about it before making decision to buy your Lexus nx350 H, so could share your findings as is it still worth to buy a Hybrid car based on its future battery replacement cost or not. You could make a video for it. Look forward to get your response. Thanks

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes it still makes sense, the battery has a 10 year warranty and if you look at replacements for the Prius for example it’s like $3,000 for an aftermarket battery.

[@SaeedSardari]

@@carswithsonduren Cheers for it but warranty does not mean when it comes the battery performance getting weak after 4 or 5 yrs. Have you did a estimation for your Nx350h battery replacement cost in the future? I've read that some aftermarket batteries are not good and comes with 60%-80% of the original ones.

[@carswithsonduren]

@SaeedSardari if I read this correctly, the warranty should cover the battery for 70% effectiveness of the charge. Aftermarket solutions are now delivering even higher mileage than OEM like the Prius for example. I wouldn’t worry to much about this IMHO.

[@SaeedSardari]

@@carswithsonduren I will follow you then. ;) Hope the warranty is same in each countries. By the way are you happy so far with your NX350h. Had you done a test drive for Volvo XC40-60 series before choosing Nx350h?

[@carswithsonduren]

@SaeedSardari follow me to glory :) We love it and so far have 10,000km on it. I did look at the Volvos early on but decided I wanted to go a different direction personally.

[@alanh8101]

Brother I still love my 2021 Lexus NX300 Premium Pkg even tho I could get new one Gen nx but nahhh Japan Made is quality and I love this 2.0 Turbo.. Why did they remove Cartridge oil filer on new Gen?? Wow Overall great video it will help a lot if folks to see how it’s done 👊🏻 Also I would recommend even more earlier frequent oil changes on turbo Lexus engines but that’s just me and also AMD From Car Nut Care Ahmed recommends it! Cheers

[@BigX698]

Hi Sonduren, just got my new RX350h. What is your opinion changing oil at 1500km? I’ve always done it on my old cars. I feel 5000km or every 6 months is good after that.

[@carswithsonduren]

Do it if you feel like you want too. Imho I would wait to 5,000km to make sure you get any and all particles out.

[@SaeedSardari]

Congrats on your new car. I am sure that you did a research about it before making decision to buy your Lexus nx350 H, so could share your findings as is it still worth to buy a Hybrid car based on its future battery replacement cost or not.

Remember modern cars are considerably heavier than older ones

[@pradeeshma]

Thanks. Does this model have an indicator that tells you when it needs an oil change ? Please advise

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes it will tell you when the next oil change is due through the control system.

[@Slickpete83]

*great video, how much do you think Lexus dealership would charge for an oil change on your NX now?*

[@carswithsonduren]

I actually haven’t checked but my guess after taxes and everything under $200 on average across Lexus dealers?

[@philipcheng3806]

Hi Sonduren, thank you for you always provide a great video for watchers. I am your fans subscriber. I have a question for you. I have a Canada made 2024 Lexus NX350h 2 weeks ago. I have found out there is no safe instruction inside the gas cover for which gas type to be used for the car. Is it normal ? Is yours one has the same thing? Thank you for your advise.🙏🙏

[@carswithsonduren]

Thanks for subscribing Philip and glad to have you along the journey! Mine was the same, you can put 87 as that is the minimum required. I tested 91 and found no difference in performance or fuel economy! Hope you are enjoying your NX :)

[@Scott-bf8km]

Good video! I have the exact same vehicle and you mention 15 foot pounds torque on the drain plug but the owners manual says 30 ft/pounds torque. Are you mistaken on this?

[@carswithsonduren]

Interesting. I’d say hand tight or 15 foot pounds is sufficient. I’m always hesitant to over tighten.

[@abababba]

What brand wheel rack is that? And do you find it sturdy?

[@carswithsonduren]

It’s the MotoMaster Compact Tire Rack. I really like it. It frees up a ton of space in the garage for your wheels and tires.

[@i.izezuz]

Hello @carswithsonduren , thanks for the informative video! Only, I have a question. The jack you are using in the video (Arcan) is different than the one you have linked in Amazon (Torin). More over the Torin jack is indented for use up to 1,5 tons, where the NX weights approx 1,8 tons for the 350 and 2,2 tons for the 450+ version. Is there a mistake somewhere? If so please correct is asap, as it could lead to some critical situations and even injuries. Thanks again.

[@carswithsonduren]

Hey let me adjust that link thanks for this catch!

[@EricPark971]

How to check replace the hybrid battery filter on nx350h?

[@carswithsonduren]

It’s in the owners manual but I’ll make a video of this one :)

[@user-gs1zn2yx8k]

Hi there, i should be getting my NX350H in the next week i see your changing your oil will that avoid warranty. Also did you purchase the lexus ecp platinum program. and did you rust proof your vehicle if so where did you get yours done.

[@carswithsonduren]

Changing your own oil will not void your warranty. I didn’t purchase any additional warranty and I haven’t got any rust proof on the vehicle.

[@peterc8979]

How often are you changing the oil? 8k seems to be the norm

[@carswithsonduren]

That’s exactly what I’m doing Peter. Honestly I found this probably a conservative number but it’s for my own peace of mind could probably go 10,000 or even 12,000 km with full synthetic oil based on oil analysis I have read online.

Hi Sonduren! I had a question about changing the tires to winters.. did your NX come with a lug wrench or a special part to remove the flower nut? I’m having a hard time and it’s going to snow soon!

[@carswithsonduren]

It did not, you need to buy those at the dealer!

[@pavelbuchnevich1229]

If your car was purchased with the lock nuts, then you should find key for the luck nuts in your emergency or spare tire kit.

[@seanh2390]

you still have your winter tires on? you can also do a video on changing them too :-)

[@carswithsonduren]

Changed them literally the day later :) They do require a pin adapter to change them.

[@seanh2390]

where did you get the pin adapter from? the dealer? I don’t have any experience with lug bolts, at least yet :-) all my past vehicles have used lug nuts.

[@Hydrnaught]

Don't you have vehicle warranty in the u.s? If you do your own oil changes you'd void any warranties.

[@carswithsonduren]

Not the case. I’m in Canada but doing your own oil changes does not void your warranty if you prove you have done the job and no damage was caused due to improper maintenance on your end.

[@Hydrnaught]

@carswithsonduren I'm a master mariner with an engineering certification. Here in Australia, if you touch a new vehicle that's under manufacturers warranty, your warranty is voided. I know I can do it, but I've got better things to do.

[@carswithsonduren]

@plagalla I find that pretty crazy glad the laws here are different. Oil changes are extremely simple procedures, and to have them completely outright void the entirety of the warranty of your vehicle is ridiculous.

[@Hydrnaught]

@carswithsonduren only cars with full log book entries get full prices on the market, a car without would only get a third of the price if that on the market. I'd never touch one, but I never buy 2nd hand regardless, I replace my cars within 5 years.

[@pavelbuchnevich1229]

@@Hydrnaught Good for you, but not everyone can afford a brand new car every 5 years. I specifically purchase pre-owned car not because I can't afford a new car, but because buying new is such a rip off. I am not against people buying new cars, it's just not my cup of tea. Besides someone needs to buy new cars so I can buy them pre-owned at a major discount. Also, full log of maintenance done at a dealership does not guarantee your car is properly maintained. Only way to know is do the inspection yourself if you're a mechanic or take it to your mechanic for a full inspection.
