Thanks for the great tutorial. Just finished doing this for my mother in law. Just a word of advice for everyone. I struggled to disconnect the connectors for the three rear spark plugs. I was able to just undo the 10mm bolts and remove the tubes while connected and move out of the way while removing and installing the plugs. They are flexible enough to handle being pulled out

Thanks for the video. I thought this would be an easy job but this could take a few hours. Not sure what the dealership charges but it has to be over 600 dollars plus tacking on additional jobs like throttle body cleaning. Currently I am either going to do the front half (easy part) and check the wear on the plugs to save for later. Going to look into those intake seals and see how much they cost before I start. Sometimes these parts are hard to get and I don't want to be caught with a long wait time. Thanks again.

Hi Victor, I noticed you removed the cowl in another video for spark plugs on a RX 350 before 2016, but on this one you didn't remove it. Is also possible to change spark plugs on RX 350 models before 2016 without removing the cowl? Thank you.

@Viktor_G_Automotive 4 месяца назад

It is possible to do on the 2010-2015 models without removing the cowl, but it is significantly tighter than the newer models. The repair manual says to remove the cowl on the early models and leave it on on the new models.

Excellent instructional video Victor. I just ordered the Denso plugs through the Amazon link. What about the coils.....especially on the difficult to reach side? Should I go ahead and replace those too? I don't love replacing good parts, but I don't want to go back there again. My RX350 is a 2017 that I bought new. It has 105K miles on it. I hope to keep it for a long time.

@Viktor_G_Automotive Год назад

Thank you very much! I personally have not seen any ignition coils fail on the 2016-2022 RX, so on my personal vehicle I would not be replacing the coils, but you could definitely do the rear ones at the same time as the plugs if you would like to.

Hi Viktor, thanks for all your instructional videos. I followed your instructions and changed my spark plugs and after I started my vehicle it gave some error messages of "Check engine redue engine power", "traction control turned off", and "all wheel system malfuntion 2WD mode engaged", do you know what could be triggering this?

Double check all the hoses and electrical connectors, I am sure you will find something you accidentally forgot to fully plug back in or reconnect.

@thatismusic 9 месяцев назад

Really appreciate your attention to detail. In a comment you made, on when to replace the spark plugs you suggest 120K miles. Is that true for the 2016-2022 models too, which have 2GR-FKS engine types? What is said is that these are direct injection types that require 60K miles replacement. Also, my mechanic says that I am better off getting getting the induction service for these engine types. Your comments would be helpful. My RX 350 2016 just crossed 60K and drives absolutely well. Thanks!

@Viktor_G_Automotive 9 месяцев назад

Hi, I looked into this more so I could give you an accurate answer and discovered something interesting. I am located in Canada and the Lexus Canada website recommends spark plug replacement on the 2016-2022 RX350 every 192000 kilometers (120K miles). At the same time, the Lexus USA website recommends the spark plug replacement on the same model at 60K miles. I do not know why there is a difference. We replace them at 120K miles here in Canada and have no problems. As far as an 'induction service', I do not know what exactly he is referring to. Lexus/Toyota have a product called the 'EFI system service', maybe that is what he is talking about. It is not a bad idea, Lexus recommend it every 50K miles on the product can instructions.
