  • 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.

    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.

    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!!

    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 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.

    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.

    Thanks for the video. I had a mechanic suggesting that the intake air manifold and throttle body needed to come off in order to change the plugs on the rear. You didn't find that to be the case correct? Also did you h and any challenges getting old plugs out or did you need a torque wrench when putting the new plugs back in

    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!)
