Lexus GX 470 Oil Filter Adaptor Seals | 2UZFE Oil Leak Fix

Thanks for stoping by. Today I'm changing out the seals/ gaskets on the oil filter adaptor. It's been leaking for a while and has just covered the lower engine / frame with oil and dirt. It is a small leak, just with time this has been going on since before she became mine. It was time for a fix, I could smell the oil when I walked out the ride. As for the install, nothing too crazy its in a tough spot but doable. Have oil and coolant on hand as you will lose some. Hope you enjoy the vid, like and subscribe. All links below.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the tip with the little torch. My lx470 rubber seal was rock solid in the same area.

[@ClassyTacos]

So glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

[@nicolehill2181]

Great video and tips! Always a bonus when you get to use the mini torch. 🔥

[@ClassyTacos]

Yes it is, thanks for watching.

Sweet instructional video, thanks.

Thanks for watching.

Would you be able to supply the torque specs for the nuts and bolts? Great video!

[@artzac3662]

The steel washer is OEM with the bolt. I don’t think it’s available separately from the dealer unless you purchased the bolt. The steel washer with the rubber seal in the center is actually a washer gasket for the VVT-I cam cap. But if it doesn’t leak that’s also good. Great video.

[@ClassyTacos]

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate it.

[@jackprick9797]

Very helpful video. Thank you.
I recently purchased a gx470. What website do you use for viewing parts diagrams? Also, what websites do you recommend for buying parts? Thanks again.

[@ClassyTacos]

Thank you. I will normally go between Amazon, Parts Geek, Lexus Parts Online or straight dealer on a google search. I go for the best price usually. Between those sites, they normally have what I need. Some dealerships sell parts on Amazon & E Bay so the shipping is cheaper.

How much oil was actually leaking for you to notice? I have a little oil leak on the front driver side right by the filter. There’s no puddles when I park up just a couple drops. I have an ‘07 with 217k miles. Things a champ

[@ClassyTacos]

I had very little drops on the ground. Most of the oil was getting thrown onto the engine and headers while driving. The burnt oil smell was pissing me off. Thanks for watching.

[@elTingos]

Hi, Why is a coolant line attached or running through a oil filter? Thanks

[@ClassyTacos]

The coolant runs through the adaptor to help cool the oil. It does not run through the oil filter. Thanks for watching.

[@Kdawg101]

Where exactly was leak coming from, figure 8 gasket or the big O ring, or washer?

[@ClassyTacos]

All the gaskets were flat and lost any ability to hold oil. Usually it's the figure 8 gasket. If you're going in there just replace them all. Thanks for watching.

[@Kdawg101]

@@ClassyTacos makes sense. Great video! I haven't found one more detailed. Thank you.

@@Kdawg101 thanks, I appreciate it.

Is there an option to buy new oil adopter or only seals and gaskets, I can’t seem to find new part for 09 gx470

[@ClassyTacos]

There might be, what parts are you having issues finding. The seals I ordered where from a dealer. Check Lexus parts online. Thanks for watching.

[@nemanjabelos3888]

@@ClassyTacos the whole assembly I found seals , but can’t find engine oil filter adapter, found one for tundra same engine not sure will it fit

[@ClassyTacos]

@@nemanjabelos3888 I see. If you're dead set on a new one go factory and be prepared for the cost. I don't see the benefit of a new one for this specific part unless you see it's damaged.
