Lexus ES 350 Oil and Filter Change with Maintenance Reset EASY DIY

[@y2ktube]

Video @ 2:14 - "5w-30 it is" - Huh ? Strictly VERBOTEN ! - Thicker oil than recommended will cause the piston oil ring (it meters out the film of oil on the cylinder walls), to eventually gum/coke up. When this happens the engine will begin to excessively burn oil... - Lexus SPECIFICALLY warns against altering their SAE 0w-20 recommendation👀

[@JohnEngel]

Great to know. Thank you.

[@timO67799]

Facts From manual says 5w-20 ok for emergency only but must change back to 0w-20 on next oil change

[@Milledge.Austin]

Oil change king right here. Great, informative video as always.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you. I am starting to get back on track. Lol

[@chrisrizzo627]

Great video, thanks. Beats paying $89.99 at dealer.

[@JohnEngel]

I agree. Thank you so much.

[@andrewandrew8002]

That’s a bargain lol in Canada at the dealer I had to pay $170…

[@LHCB6]

I miss it being $89.99 at the dealer. It's gone up about 50%

[@MorganWhaley]

Surprised there wasn't a crush washer to be replaced. Great video as always.

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you. Yeah I’ve noticed that most cars aren’t using crush washer like they used to.

[@DaGreek-se9kl]

@@JohnEngel I never had a crush washer in my life on any vehicle until I bought a 2018 acura tlx

[@JohnEngel]

@@DaGreek-se9kl I’m not a crush washer fan either.

If you have a 2016 ES model, THEN THIS COMMENT IS FOR YOU… PERTAINING TO THE RESET MAINTENANCE ISSUE. So what you want to do to reset your maintenance notification is push the start stop button once your cars electricity is on use your arrows on the right side of your steering wheel to scroll right all the way to setting Menu. In the setting Menu go down to Vehicle Settings, once clicked you will see Scheduled Maintenance and Oil Maintenance click which ever your trying to reset and once clicked it will say RESET then turn your car off and back on again and your maintenance needed issue should be fixed

[@JohnEngel]

@@Chi3fGaming great info. Thank you.

[@brandono.1823]

Great video! Sure glad you didn't put to much oil in the reservoir and it spill all over the place! :)

[@JohnEngel]

Lol. Only with nice corvettes. Lmao

[@TeijoKhanfan]

I really dislike these oil filters! Why does Toyota/Lexus do this? Seems to be on all of their V6 models. That being said i really love these cars! They last practically forever. Much cheaper to maintain than the V8 models over the long haul! Thank you for making the video for us do it yourselfers👍👍

[@JohnEngel]

I agree with all that you said. :) Thank you for watching.

[@LWRC]

Should always use a torque wrench for the oil filter and drain plug! Small price for getting things done right.

[@JohnEngel]

True.

[@sville1983]

U didn’t show removal of under body panels?? Are there any that need to be removed to begin job??

[@JohnEngel]

Nope. You can do all of this with no panel removal.

[@100thAnniversary]

ALWAYS use OEM suggested oil. Easy way to void your warranty.

[@JohnEngel]

I totally agree. My warranty was voided about seven years ago. Lol

[@100thAnniversary]

@JohnEngel That's you. Did you make this video for yourself, or others..?

[@JohnEngel]

@@100thAnniversary please go back and watch the 2:20 mark. I specifically talk about what the oem recommends. This way the viewer knows. Please use oem in yours. I’m not doing the oil change on your vehicle, I’m showing you how to do an oil change on your vehicle. The viscosity I use does not have to match what you do but the process is exactly the same.

[@reeaub]

I just got a 2015 es350 and do service all my own vehicles. It appears to be about as basic as it gets to change the oil on it. This is my 1st vehicle using an oil cartridge rather than a metal housed filter. Is the cluster computer operating separately from the dash computer when setting up the oil service alert? The dash computer shows you how many miles have been counted from the last reset. Does the cluster oil service alert show you how many miles have been counted?

[@JohnEngel]

Thank you for watching. Yep they are very simple to do an oil change on. As long as the rest was done correctly, the dash will let you know when the next service is due.

[@ItzMattAye]

So what did you do with the smaller o-ring that came with the new filter?

[@ItzMattAye]

The smaller o-ring is for the oil filter drain plug. You usually don’t need to replace those.

[@ItzMattAye]

Okay cool, thanks bro!

[@JohnEngel]

@@ItzMattAye exactly.

[@100thAnniversary]

Use whatever oil you want, just keep the old O-ring on.. This is a horrible channel.

[@100thAnniversary]

​@@ItzMattAye 😂😂😂😂 You forgot to log into your other account.. Do you just have fake conversations with yourself to simulate interaction? Damn..

[@rayedwan3921]

What year is this Lexus? I have 2017 I don’t have that cool Blue color on my dashboard

[@JohnEngel]

Mine is a 2014.

[@terry_willis]

Do I need to buy 2 Corvettes before I can change my Lexus oil? 😀

[@JohnEngel]

It helps. Lol.

[@jimmychen1814]

What is the size of the filter adapter?

[@JohnEngel]

amzn.to/3tMZYA9. This link has all the info.

[@ralphlazio505]

The oil filter housing never comes off that easy

[@JohnEngel]

With the tool it comes off super easy, now getting the tool off the housing is always a challenge lmao.

[@TheSmatlock]

It does if you are not a choad

[@louistalon4626]

That’s the reason you buy a 36in ratchet 😂

[@JohnEngel]

@@louistalon4626 exactly.

[@njsongwriter]

What makes you think 5W-30 gives you more protection than the recommended grade? A little bit below the full mark is good especially if you aren't checking it with the engine at operating temperature. The oil will expand when it is hot.

[@JohnEngel]

It’s all based on the weight. The higher the weight the thicker the oil which can protect more but you have to be careful about the temp. As a thicker weight oil will become sludge when cold.

[@njsongwriter]

@@JohnEngel As I understand it with modern oils the protection comes more from the additive package than from the viscosity. Also the lower viscosity results in a better flow rate especially when the engine is cold and that's where most engine wear occurs. Should you use thicker oil? High mileage oil...

[@JohnEngel]

Even tried to take it to Lexus. Worked for a week and then the light came back. I just ignore it now. Lol

[@simba_DIY]

@@JohnEngel Lexus told me it's going to cost 200 for each and I didn't even try to fix it mine start that around 90k now i have 145k and always that light on lol

[@JohnEngel]

@@simba_DIY they fixed the one and charged the tire shop that broke it. When it went out again they wanted to charge me 200 and I said thank you but no.

[@simba_DIY]

@@JohnEngel exactly man why would I pay 800 for something like that it's outrageous

[@simba_DIY]

@@JohnEngel buy the way your es looks very cool the rims in yours are clean mine is white rims are different but I have a small problem I'm the steering wheel when I drive it like 35 the steering wheel wobble then it's gone when I accelerate. Knowing that brake are fine suspension fine drive shaft fine and even balance and rotation did is yesterday. It's driving me nuts I will try to do alignment. Any suggestions bro ?

[@mmaur63]
