Just did this job today on my 2012 RX350. Your video was so helpful! I watched it all the way through last night and referred to it several times while working. Really appreciate all the service videos you've made for these cars.

Great video, really easy to follow step-by-step directions. Did the spark plugs today on our 2013 RX350. It has 103, 000 miles, and the spark plugs I removed appear to be the original Densos from the factory, so it was time. Our local repair shop of choice quoted just over $1, 100 because of the labor time. It took me about 6 hours, which included two trips to the auto parts store, one trip for the intake and throttle body gaskets, another to get a 5mm Allen socket to remove the manifold. Thanks for making this video Viktor.

I appreciate mechanics, this is tedious and hard work.

Thank You Viktor, you video was amazing. took me a little over 5 hours to complete the job on my 2013 RX 350 with 162000 miles on it. Bought the car with 30000 miles on it, so I know they were original parts. Did Change the coils. I struggled with the second 12 mm bolt on the intake manifold, so I just took off the bracket 12mm bolt and was careful in removing and installing the manifold, . Did not have to worry about lining up the bracket either. Really appreciate how clear your video are .

Thank you Viktor, as always your tutorial just makes the most sense, to the point and yet very fine details provided as well. Cheers, from Korea.

Incredibly thorough, thank you for the time you took detailing each step. Never could have figured this out on my own. Excellent.

[BigDipper]

Doing this on my 2010 RX350 this weekend. Thanks for the instructions.

[unebonnevie]

This is AWESOME! So glad you're back, Viktor! Your videos are so invaluable to the DIY community! I think the procedure is likely pretty much the same for RX450h. Btw, you can tell how well the owner takes care of their car by see how clean the engine bay is. The car's owner must have gone through a desert storm!

Thank you Victor - great work, organized, clear and easy to follow

[rubenflores]

Another great video Viktor! You are definitely going to help me keep my 2015 Lexus RX350 running great! Thank you!

Best video for Spark plug change on RX 350 Thanks

[RealWorldPrint]

Totally awesome! I will be doing this on our 2013 as soon as the weather gets warm. More time-consuming and finicky than hard. I've worked on Saabs a lot, This is reminds me of doing a heater core on a Saab 9000. Glad to see you in your own shop, too!

[JamesAutoDude]

With how involved this is, I'd highly recommend just doing the valve cover gasket and intake manifold gaskets at the same time. Also the coil boots/etc

[payamres]

Great video like every other one. I appreciate the list of the parts. Double thumbs up.

[TonyandNitaVelez]

Thank you for sharing. You are very professional and careful. Excellent and detailed video!

[tommyl]

Hi viktor, I was wondering what other preventive maintenance work could be done while doing all this work for the plugs. Changing parts or cleaning things etc. thanks!

[nickkadochnikov]

Thank you Victor. Your instructions are the best, as always

[stjepanpalic]

Hallo Viktor, deine Videos finde ich super professionell!
Dem nächst möchte ich die Zündkerzen an meinem 2009 RX 450h wechseln, meine frage; soll ich auch zum Beispiel den Luftmengenmesser den agr Ventil und kühler reinigen oder andere arbeiten erledigen wenn man schon zugang hat?
Danke für deine Antwort
Best Grüße aus Österreich!

Thank you so much filming this, and sharing all the details along the way! While this can be intimidating, it is doable following your video. Thanks again! Mine is at 135k miles and I plan to change the spark plugs out at 150k. It’s a 2011 and runs as good as new.
