Thank you for your video, I did the job not this particular job but same procedure and because of you, I did the job with ease, and I am not a mechanic at all! Thank you very much.

Kenny, this is a terrific video. To everyone with this RX350, the basic instruction is this: “In order to replace all six spark plugs, disassemble the entire vehicle.”
My RX350 is also a 2008, and one of the spark plug connector clips also broke like the one in the video. I hope Lexus improved that part in later models. I also used silicone. I have used zip ties on some repairs like that but I would be concerned that a tie might eventually sever one of the tiny plug wires. There is also very little for a zip tie to wrap around.
I am 66, and in the 1980s General Motors got all kinds of bad publicity because one of its cars had a spark plug that could only be removed when one of the engine mounts was loosened and the engine raised slightly with a jack. I don’t remember the car — it was no doubt a lousy one — but after watching this video RX350 owners would be thrilled to only have one plug that difficult to remove.
I spent nearly $400 to buy a three-volume factory repair manual set. I was browsing it the other day and noticed that replacing the water pump requires removal of the engine. It’s a good thing these cars are among the most reliable.

Thanks for this video, very clear and concise. Amazed to see how difficult it is to change spark plugs which should be a quick and easy job. There’s no way I’m attempting this.

"many parts to change spark plug ... that ridiculous" Great accent. good mechanics come in all colors, shapes, sizes and voices ! I feel your pain ! Thanks for sharing all the insights and procedure.

great video! Struggling with that one back bolt for the manifold. Yes, the one you didn't have to remove, lol

After watching this, I don't think I want an Rx350 anymore. Nevertheless, great video tutorial. Thank you for making this 👍

Thanks Kenny for showing how to get access to the back of the intake manifold. your video make it easier to do this job compare to others i had been watching. I could not get the job done as they did not show how to remove it so i have to put everything back and only changed the 3 spark plugs at the front. Because of your video I will try again to finish 3 spark plugs in the back. Thanks again. Tri Nguyen

Thanks for the video. I hope the next owner of my car finds this video because it’s going to be their problem, not mine.

Thank you so appreciative of you! Got the job done with ease !!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[erikgasner]

Good explanation. I hope I can do this soon. Im getting terrible MPG. I did the front 3 and now comes the difficult back 3 plugs.

You are good the lighting was spot on. Description and details awsome

Ps what spark plug did you use?

[beefen]

Thank you Toyota/Lexus for this ingenious design of an engine just to change spark plugs... smh... might as well disassemble the whole engine haha.. no wonder why they charge so much. Great informational video! Thank you!

[aleortiz]

To remove intake manifold NO NEED to remove upper cover, windshield, etc you just working extra, enough space underneath 😉

I did the spar plugs and ignition coil in my 2007 RX 2007 I did the 3 rear ones with one hand is easy to reach, so you do not need to take the engine apart.
