- In this video I will show you how to change spark plugs on your 2015 Lexus rx350. There are some videos that will show you but you will have to do more works like removing the air filter and throttle body and much more. In this tutorial I will show you where the spark plugs valve are located specifically and you will not have to remove more than you need. Thank you again for watching my video and if you find this helpful then don't forget to click the like button and subscribe to my channel.
This is so far the most detailed 2GR-FE spark plug replacement video. Thank you!
No it's not. It's one of the worst. Check out the spark plug change on the RX450H. Wipes the floor with this video.
@@sydsnott5042 Looks the same to me. There is no wiping floor, and guess what, Intake manifold doesn't need to be removed to do the job...
@@Align700nitro thank you for your support
Best “show you how” video I have ever seen. Thank you a lot! I am going to replace spark plugs for my 2010 Lexus rx350 this coming weekend
I just changed my spark plugs using this video to guide me. This is by far the best video for a do it yourself. If you meticulously go step by step you will be successful..I did not need to use the swivel adapter but I have many different extension lengths..3-4 hours to complete.
I’ve got a 2017 RX and gotta say the last center and right firewall side spark plugs were worth the price of admission!!!
I replaced them per your video here, but I’m definitely considering pulling the air intake components at the next change out cycle. Gonna be sore for abit. Thanks for your video Sir.
All the best.
Great job explaining everything, made the job a lot less painful, thanks!
Good video. I followed the instructions trying to replace the spark plugs on my 2015 Lexus RX350. It turned out that it is much easier to remove intake manifold and get to the three plugs in the back.
Hey very nice job explaining and showing everything step by step! Did exactly as you showed and worked out just great! Kinda tricky to get to 3 spark plugs in the back, but dooable. Took me about 2.5 hours from begining to finish. Dealer quoted me $660 for 2013 rx350, bought spark plugs for $60! So thank you!!
Glad it helped. Beats paying dealer.lol
Glad it help out.
Thanks for the video! Knocked this job out in a few hours. Agree with some others that disconnecting the pass side hood strut is very helpful. I used a bike tire floor pump to prop the hood while I worked.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and explain thoroughly 👍
very patient and detailed explanation. Thank you so much.
Thank you for filming such a great detail video!
Great vid. Got me through the job without a hiccup.
Great video. I just did the job this morning and I believe this is the best way to do it. No reason to remove the intake manifold. You actually have plenty of room to reach everything once that wiper tray is out. Took 2 hours tops.
Sir aout the intake manifold, you have to remove it to clean it. Thats why yhey make it lime that, amagine all the crud, after 120.000 miles!
@@andrewsearcy8078 Lol. You couldn’t be more WRONG. No cleaning is needed and if it was Toyota would say so.
Great video, very helpful.
Wow. Thanks for the video man. Looks very detailed. I just did my son's Honda Pilot and that was a piece of cake. Took me a little over an house and engine cover was all that needed to be removed but my daughter's '15 RX350 wow this looks much more work. LOL. Bought a 6 pack of Denso OEM iridium plugs for $20. It only has 70k now and I think the iridium lasts to 120k so I have time.
Nice and very informative!! Thank you.
Very good job Toyito, tank you my friend.
you did a sick job explaining it, good video buddy
Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much. Very helpful!
Thank you for the video keep going.... Best wishes
Great video thank you very much
great video. thank you
Nice job. This is exactly what I’m looking for. U have too much patience comparing to me
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!. Thank you for your for taking the time to show us RX350 owners this procedure.
My gosh, I had no idea how difficult hit is to get to the rear plugs. I really appreciate the heads up.
Good video thanks.
Nicely done. Good job. Learned a lot from it.
😵💫 This seems very tricky… the dealership quoted $800.00 I’m going to pay that for the warranty and peace of mind, not to mention I only want oem parts. Your video has helped many~ 🥰 it helped me too! It must go to the dealer lol
Just curious if this can be done without removing the wipers and plastic cowls and only remove the intake and then use some adjustable wrenches.
Good job
Nice video!
However, the reason you brake the plastic fasteners is that you should push the inner circle piece of the plastic retainer inward and then take the fastener off (not pulling them up!)
They snape easily
Do we need to disconnect the 12 v battery and the hybrid battery?
Thanks.
Cảm ơn Anh!!!
Thanks buddy for showing us the back locations, i can hear in your voice it was difficult to show us so really appreciate it..cheers
During last 15 seconds or so when you pulled yourself out, the video looks that you could not put your head in there and get to see the plugs. You did not extend any camera in there to make recording did you?
that is excellent, thank you.
What about the ignition coils? Why you did not replace the ignition coils along with the spark plugs? Thought they are normally replaced together at the same time
No. They are only replaced if they fail. OEM coils for this car last a long time and are about $130 each at the dealer.
Lesson learned: Don't buy V6 front wheel drive cars and SUVs if you are going to DIY. (Stick with 4 bangers and RWD systems) Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, buddy! Why complicate your life?
Other than the spark plugs and injectors, everything else is relatively easy. Don't miss out on these reliable cars because of the spark plugs. You can easily go 5+ years with out changing them so it's not a big deal
Right you may never wish to tow anything so stick with a 4 cyl. DUH!
what are torque specs for spark plugs? thanks.
Torque...18 Nm (184 kgf-cm,13 ft-lbf) from Alldata site.
That much work to get to the back you know those shady shops ain't gonna change them lol😅.my wife got a v6 Atlas all the plugs lined up horizontally 20 minute job....can't beat that
Great job, but where is the concluding video clip? It will be better to see how you able to assembled it back. It’s contains lots of sections.
Where do you recommend buying OEM parts without paying Dealership prices?
Rockauto ?
don't buy aftermarket parts OEM please especially coil pack or any sensor
thanks i have bimmer e46 v6 inline no problem changing sparks i was planning on buying a Lexus but after seen this forget it that is epic pain ...
I have an audi a7 same. Same, after seeing this, screw these toyotas. What a pain in the ass. And all those mechanic fan boys say how easy is to work on toyotas. Have they ever worked on German cars lately? :))
Yeah, Mk6 with messed up oil ring, pretty easy to fix just need to yank out the motor....
Not as much pain as an e46 valve cover gasket thats known to leak on the exhaust manifold
@@gregmach18 i know I suffer that too
I'll take my sweet, low maintenance, highly reliable Lexus over ANY German 'over engineered' money pit any day. 😊
Thank 595.00 at the dealer for plug replacement
How many miles did change them out
80-100km
Much easier to just remove the intake plenum unless you’ve done this several times and know how to do it by feel.
Damn. I thought this would be fast
Just remove the intake cover
21:40 that bracket screw (the bottom one) is the only one that needs to be removed, the top one can stay with the bracket. But it's hard to put the plenum back unless you do the cutting trick shown in this video
ua-cam.com/video/urKkKH7tR24/v-deo.html
primary reason I am no longer buying Lexus V6 FWD platform. it took me 4+ hours and only reason I did it at home because the cost at the dealer was $800 to replace spark plug.
But you only have to do it every ten years!
This is nonsense. You have to do this once or twice over 15-20 years.
i just remove the intake plenum and make life easy .. it takes the same amount of time but you can see what you are doing
What is a plenum?
@@westbay5858 its what makes lightning bugs glow.
My rolex is nicer than yours...lol..so details ,,thx so much 4 sharing,I’ve done this 4 my 2014..will do.
boy lexus make it a pain to get to spark plug housing 😪
just my luck i'll forget to plug back something
It amazes me how people think they have to disassemble the wipers and cowl just to get back there 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
Can you link a better way?
Ok, about not removing the intake Manifold, is a big No No! The reason its in the way is because you need to clean that part at 120.000 miles!
You don’t clean the intake manifold dude. That’s simply incorrect. The throttle body gets cleaned, but that’s a separate part that can be cleaned in place.

omfg, i'll never change my own plug on my rx350, what crap engineering by Lexus, i'll also never buy another one... all thought I like the suv.
Sick of the car company they make it hard to do anything on a car .. not like the 60&70 ,80 car .. there a holes !!!!
