Never use a screw driver on an aluminum o ring land. Plastic only as a scratch can cause a leak and or set up a crack. All though remote possibility but a nevertheless good habit. Also torque specs would be nice for those that have a conventional drain plug. Oil filter cap housing as well. Very good video.... good job. Scott D Maser

Am glad you addressed safety. One of my neighbors placed the car just on the jack while he was changing a fog light. Out of nowhere the jack failed right when he stepped out underneath to get a wrench. He walked across to my house all shaken up and repeating again and again whata stupid move he just did. *I have, besides the main jack, the little one as well as a back. My rule is at least three towers and one jack. In no way I would use that valve, can get hit by a rock, road trash, easy.

The jacking point information is super useful to include in your videos.

@cmikey1960 Год назад

I drive the left front wheel onto a ramp. This raises the left front putting the drain plug at its lowest point relative the engine for best drainage. Much easier/safer than jacking.

Lexus recommend in the manual to check the oil 5min after the motor reached operating temps at on level ground of course. They're notoriously hard to read cold . Also the Awd is 250 takes just a bit more oil 6.3L for rw drive and 6.4L for the AWD . Awesome video by the way.

If you do your oil changes at home. You should own a set of ramps. Just drive right on top with front wheels. No need to jack up the car every time. They make life so much easier. 👍

@andrewm.4168 2 месяца назад

If you install the little plastic funnel that comes with the element you drain the oil out of the housing first. Then just unscrew the end cap with no mess.

@dwaynemadsen964 3 года назад

Checking oil level with clean, fresh, very clear oil can be hard! I really enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing. I would make two recommendations that might make things better? easier? I don't know. This is not to criticize what you did, I mean, mission accomplished! Oil and filter changed safely! To remove the o-ring gasket from the filter housing cap, I use a rag or shop towel, and press about a 30mm section of the o-ring together with my thumbs, causing the o-ring to bunch up, out of the groove. No need for a small screw driver, and no risk of scratching the cap. Sometimes it doesn't work and I end up using a tool as you did, but when it works (most of the time it works) it is faster. When the filter cap tool sticks to the housing cap, (every.single. time!) I just remove the ratchet, because I'm going to be using the cap wrench in a few moments to tighten everything back up. Then, since it is now stuck going the other way, I switch the ratchet mechanism and just give the wrench a slight pop, which causes the cap wrench to disengage from the flutes of the filter housing cap. Again, thank you for taking the time to get camera angles and edit your footage! Your video is clear and informative. Stay safe.

@carswithsonduren 3 года назад

First thanks for the comments I really appreciate it and welcome to the channel 🙂 great point on removing the o-ring makes more sense and less chance for damage, and huge thank you on the tip when the adapter gets stuck I will definitely do that going forward instead of my traditional struggle haha!

@AznCracker13 3 года назад

Hey to check oil you're not supposed to stick it in all the way. You are supposed to put the dip stick in until the colored part touches and then pull it out for the most accurate reading. Safe to say you could have probably put in another 0.5 qt

@w.7407 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for this video. I am starting to do my own oil changes on my Lexus too. I notice mine burns a quart or liter every 1700 miles (2750 kilometers) but that’s because I use an oil called a blend. Synthetic blend. On your opinion synthetic can be better ? It’ll burn less oil and won’t lose its viscosity as quickly as conventional oil? Anyhow these are old cars so there will be some oil consumption inevitably.

@carswithsonduren 10 месяцев назад

Glad it helped I think you should go full synthetic, it will burn less but you will still have oil consumption and that is normal for these cars as they age.

@@carswithsonduren ah yes but even a Miata MX-5 Mazda manages to be fun and sporty with only 120bhp, and I had a 96 Mustang GT V8 with the 2V 4.6 engine the one most popular for being ragged on and yet it’s also the most reliable engine mustangs of the last multiple generations and all I had to do was put slightly better stickier tires and in transformed it into a corn carving prancing pony. These IS Models both come with double wishbone suspension in the front and independent suspension in the rear. Followed by from what I can see that the engines are set where at least 80-70% of the engines are positioned behind the front wheels which should give them both roughly a 56/44 weight difference front and back which is almost perfect for a car of their weight class.

@andrewolson4280 Год назад

@@carswithsonduren ah I’m not far off haha. They copied Maserati’s idea of 52/48 weight distribution. So yeah all it would take is a slight change of tires depending on the time of year like I’m in the Pacific Northwest of US and our weather isn’t much different from most of Canada so it would probably corner amazingly with possible changes to Pirelli P-Zero tires, ironically the stock tires for your R8, and not only would they have a very impressive performance for grip but also relatively confident with bad weather set of tires.

My oil filter comes with one bigger gasket and a smaller one. I saw two gaskets with your filter too. What's that small one for?

@carswithsonduren 3 года назад

Not needed for this car you can discard the smaller one

I think theres a bolt on the front of your oil filter cap to drain the oil from the filter prior to loosening the cap. With the right tools, you can make the change a little cleaner. Not the end of the world if you don't use that, but it's another spot where oil can leak.

So I keep seeing 0w-20 is oil weight for 2012, is that not right?

@bobbyboy7480 Год назад

Whats the chances that a stray rock or whatever could bounce up and knock the toggle switch into the drain position? Thats what id be worried about

@carswithsonduren Год назад

Next to no chance.

@@carswithsonduren I agree after watching the whole video! Guess I jumped the gun. Good job!

@seanclarke4061 2 года назад

Why do some filters come with 2 O rings? Can't find anyone who's installing a 2nd small O ring while changing the IS oil. Which car uses the 2nd small O ring? Not the IS right?

@carswithsonduren 2 года назад

No need for the second o-ring you can discard it. You just need to replace the one and you're good to go 🙂
