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
Well done video! I just bought a used 2019 Lexus RX350 and did an oil change. Sure enough, the oil filter housing was a generic aluminum housing. When I removed it, the filter fell out into my hand as well as a small disk because the cylinder was missing. Who knows how long it was like that and the Ford dealer I bought the Lexus from had just done an oil change. I was smart enough to have a new OEM Lexus (Toyota) housing ready just in case. THIS is just another example of why I have done my own oil changes since I was 13 years old (now am 58 yrs old). The MotiveX tools are also excellent and have used them for years now.
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.
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.
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.
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
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..
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.
@@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
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..
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..
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..
