Just followed your video to change oil on my rx350. Your instructions were better than the pro mechanics, plus your calm methodical voice is exactly what we all needed to hear. I swear every time I hear Scotty screech I die a little inside.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

The best oil change video for Lexus RX on youtube. The explanation is clear, and the camera is decent.

I'm watching this because I read that the dealers use the cheapest oil they can buy and sometimes skip replacing the gaskets, That was a truly excellent tutorial, your video gives me the confidence to do this on my own, the reset was much easier than anticipated, Thanks!

Awesome video, thank you Rob! Been changing my oil all of my life. Have a 2000 4Runner, 2005 Sequoia (RIP), 2019 Sequoia, and a 2006 Land Cruiser. The wifes 2017 RX 350 was a new animal. Appreciate your help!

I always like to view KZread before I attempt any mx on a vehicle. Glad I watched this one. Very clear and informative.

Thank you for the tutorial! Just finished my 2018. 👍👍👍

I can certainly do my oil changes now,after watching your video! Nice job!

Thank you very much for this video! You're very thorough, clear, and precise with all of the informative; really appreciate you!

Nice vid! Really helped me do the job. Thanks! Some comments from my experience. 8:24 and 10:45 The oil filter housing has 3 tabs on one side and 1 tab on the other (180 deg opposite) side; the oil filter housing socket has matching slots. Make sure to match them up because removal of the housing is next to impossible unless the housing and socket are exactly matched. As Rob noted, after most commercial oil changes the oil filter housing is way, WAY over-torqued, certainly much more than 18 ft.-lbs and removal can be a major PITA. I had to use a breaker bar to get enough leverage to start unscrewing it. 6:00 I attached some plastic tubing (from excess I had from lawn sprinkler work) to the provided plastic fitting to drain the oil filter housing. Adequate workaround if you don't have the metal fitting he uses. 4:40 and 5:55 About 20 years ago I started using oil drain plug valves on my vehicles and it's a nice feature that I don't have to get oil all over my hands any more when I remove the drain pan plug. On some types there's a "nipple" where plastic tubing can be attached to prevents drips (or wind spray as in this vid). Fumoto is a big brand but there are others out there. Drain plug valves are also fantastic if you over-fill the sump and have to remove just a little (you're correct in wondering how I know that, LOL).

The odd thing is that Motivx now make their oil filter removal socket so that it does NOT engage those tabs. On their Amazon listing for the MX2320 the images state "old style wrench can cause broken tabs" and "engages only the top fluted portion of the filter housing".

Thanks for the detailed video. I followed it today to do the oil change on my 2016.

Great video , I like the motiv products , I have the oil filter wrench , Funnel & 24 mm socket from them for our 2015 IS 250 .... Now I'll be using it for our 2021 Rx 350 when the factory oil changes are up . Thanks for the video

Thank you for all of what you did. I ended up ordering everything in your link as well.

Hi Rob, this is a useful video for people, in particular I liked the tool with tubing for draining the filter! One thing I would point out is that its not safe to get under the car without jack stands or a jack under the car as a second (back-up) form of support.

It is very useful and simple. I do not trust the servicemen for changing the oil. I have seen many different cases, like hitting my radiator for opening the oil filter for the Toyota that I had and not changing any oil and oil filter and claiming it is done. I prefer to it myself.

Nice job Rob. I ordered the funnel/filter wrench kit as oil changes should not leave a lingering effect on your driveway.

Get a Fram cartridge. Comes with o-rings and a plastic tool. You can add hose if you want.

FYI, you forgot to detach old washer from oil pan. You put double washer. You use flat screw driver to take out easily. Also, side note of the Toyota type oil filter wrench to be getting stuck sometime due to your warm engine oil, use flat screw driver works the best. I do this for my 2013 IS and 2016 RX.

I noticed that also... all that fancy tools but forgot to remove old washer. Also draining filter cup for making less mess is not really true. I just partially unscrew the filter housing and let it drain then just remove it directly in oil catch pan. Watching this video seems that I make less mess by skipping using that drain hose.

Thank you for sharing very useful information 🍀☘️

Great video. Thank you

Great job. One suggestion would be loosen the main cartridge, but keep your drain tube connected and you’ll find it after turning the main cartridge. A few turns more will come out of your drain tube.

Awesome vid. One recommendation I would give is upgrade the oil filter housing to an aluminum one. I think yours is the plastic one? Those tend to crack, especially if you go to those express oil change places. They over torque it and crack the housing. Again, not required, just a nice upgrade! Keep up the great work!

How many miles driven between oil changes on RX350

Remember to use wheel chocks on rear wheels before going under the car.

Rob, I think you forgot to remove the crusher washer when you removed the drain plug. The washer gets stuck on the drain opening. This typically happens when I do an oil change on my wife’s RX350. A light tap with a flat tip screwdriver will remove it. However having doubles washers will not cause a leak. Just remember next time.
