Oil & Filter on a Toyota 3.5L V6 (2008 Lexus RX-350)

Quick and easy oil and filter change on this Lexus. This has a Toyota engine and a canister style oil filter. Actually a pretty easy maintenance procedure on this vehicle. No special tools required for this canister filter.
Benefits of having a car lift and a pit in the same garage bay when you have a low ceiling!

I believe all man should know how to do the basic of all car work.

Excellent video. I wish Lexus vehicles can be simple in doing oil changes. P.S: you sound like the former NBA player JJ Reddick. Your voice is very similar to him hehehe

It was the selling point of the house! Always wanted one!

So I looked it up and apparently online I’m assuming from the Lexus dealership it says to use 30pounds for the filter

[@The.Dude.Abides.]

So on those Toyota/Lexus oil canisters don’t remove that center piece. The only reason for doing so is to insert that stupid plastic “tool” (that only works about 10% of the time) to partially drain the oil out of the canister. Talk to any Toyota/Lexus mechanic and they will tell you the same thing which is to leave it alone and don’t remove that cap. Instead, just clean up the little oil mess. Just use the proper oil filter tool to remove and install the filter housing.

[@Letsfixthings]

Definitely agree. Waste of time. And another potential leak location

[@dchief2924]

gotta just change that gasket every couple of oil changes i guess

[@williamswindle5445]

Was that synthetic oil?

[@williamswindle5445]

Ah I saw it when you filled it lol.

[@Letsfixthings]

Yes full synthetic
