Did you find all products at Walmart except oil wrench and drain plug washer ?

[@tongo117]

Yes.. Oil and filter from my local walmart.. Link to wrench is in description.. Here's link to crush washers for Toyota/Lexus: www.amazon.com/90430-12031-Aluminum-Gaskets-Seals-Replaces-9043012031/dp/B08FDH28B2/ref=asc_df_B08FDH28B2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463359003998&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7332662266174875557&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015501&hvtargid=pla-967054005119&psc=1

Great tip on the oil plug washer. My Tacoma washer has to be popped off with a screwdriver every time. Amazing that it sticks like that with the oil residue. Draining the filter canister is always a messy operation.

[@stephen8289]

Beautiful tutorial, very explicit!

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@tongo117]

You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..

[@nutleypo]

Enjoyed the video. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the car doent need to be jacked up to change the oil. I just ordered the filters,washers, and tool to remove the filter. Thanks.

[@tongo117]

Glad to have helped..

[@jungleboy5973]

Thanks,buddy excellent video

[@tongo117]

You're welcome.. Hope it helped..

[@TC-my6gs]

That plastic filter drain that comes with the filter can screw in so if you’re careful you might not get oil all over.

[@user-nn6sq8ow5g]

Any plans on installing body side molding? I'm hoping someone can post a video on installing side molding for 4th Gen Lexus RX. Keep the Lexus RX DIY videos coming

[@tongo117]

In my opinion every car should come equipped with side molding to prevent door dings!! But that's a money maker for dealerships/body shops.. I would love to add it but my wife drives this car primarily and knowing her as I do, she would think it would spoil the look/style of the car..

[@asadb1990]

Didn't they revert back to old school filter cannister as before?

[@fondoo]

I have the same car. Thank you for the video. How do you reset the oil reminder on the dash??

[@tongo117]

This oil change was done at just over 5k miles and my maintenance required light had not come on.. I assume it comes on at 10k which is when the dealer will change the oil at no charge.. I just didn't want to wait that long..

[@J.Zealuis]

@@tongo117 They say the Rx350 does oil changes at 10k miles, are you saying that is risky to do that?

[@tongo117]

I do every 5k but some will say that 10k is fine.. It's just a matter of opinion/preference..

[@contagiousFX]

How much total did you ended up putting in? 6 qts? I noticed on mines it took more than owner's manual stated.

[@tongo117]

I still had a little left in the 6 qt box so I'm guessing very close to the 5.8 qts stated in my owner's manual..

[@markbabcock6811]

Does this fit the 2021 RX350? Does not show on their website. Going to go with Amsoil and change fluids myself.

[@tongo117]

In the greyed out section on their page it shows "RX 350 (2007 - 2021) 3.5L 6 Cyl".. www.motivxtools.com/products/toyota-2-5l-5-7l-oil-filter-wrench

[@markbabcock6811]

Thanks. I caught that after I typed to you. Thank you for your time.

[@stevegolacks8731]

I know the Toyota Corolla went back to the spin on solid metal oil filters in 2020, I would have thought Lexus got rid of these silly plastic cartridges by now too. Very disappointing.

[@MrJLee-ri3so]

Hell yeah, paid so much for the car , have these silly filters, room for error with these filters.

[@3timefelon576]

Does video tutorial work for a 2018 RX?

[@garman7921]

Yes

[@tooththrhr]

Did you need to jack the front up at all?

[@tongo117]

No jacking at all.. There was enough clearance..

[@Roy2584]

don't forget to prime your oil filter next time you change your engine oil, man. After you insert a brandnew oil filter into the plastic oil filter housing, pour fresh oil into it until it's almost full and be carefully not to overfill it since it'll make a mess. The reason why one should do this is because when the 2GRFE engine is first started up, the engine sucks oil thru this filter chamber and feeds the oil up thru the galleries running all over the crucial places in your engine. If within that first second startup the engine oil is starved, wear could take place. It won't be noticeable, but trust me, you don't want those rod bearings and piston rings wear out much faster than their life expectancy! I've forgotten to prime the oil filter once, and still remember the sound of the piston rings grinding against the cylinder walls. The sound lasts for only about a second, but I think the damage is done. I'm not joking. You can actually here the difference of how a 2GRFE engine sounds with a primed or non-primed oil filter. However, to hear the difference, you've got change the engine oil very late at night to minimize ambient daytime noise.

[@upland90254]

First oil change at the recommended 10k mi? ;)

[@tongo117]

I change every 5k which is when this first change was done.. I know that might be overkill but that's what I do..

[@upland90254]

@@tongo117 wow. I will normally do the first one at

[@kalani1987]

​@@tongo117if you're going to keep a car long term, I would change the oil at ~ 1000 miles to get the metal shavings out from the motor. Then follow normal OCI at around 5000 miles

[@tongo117]

Yeah that makes sense but I only recently heard of doing that with a new vehicle.. Dealer didn't mention it of course in fact they said oil change interval was every 10k.. I don't follow that I do it every 5k..

[@dennisklimchuk2572]

What is the reason to change washers with every oil change?You are overdoing,inspect it and put the plug back.

[@tongo117]

cause it's my choice and my .29c

[@daytonpyro]

that and the car care nut said so. lmao..

[@J.Zealuis]

How do you know you are tighten it down right? Is there a number of times you twist ?

[@tongo117]

The torque wrench measures the fastner's resistance to rotation based on how you set the resistance.. 18ft pounds of resistance on the filter housing and 30ft pounds of resistance on the oil drain bolt..
