Oil Change Please Help - 7/29/2007 12:46:20 PM    natronium   Posts: 1 Joined: 7/29/2007 Status: offline Hello, I recently purchase a new LS460 and love it.  My first oil change was done free of charge at the dealer.  At that time, I bought a filter so I could do the next one myself. I found where the flap is and the filter.  I tried putting a socket in the hole and the metal "plug" cam out.  It looked as if I needed a filter wrench for the next part.  I bought the right size and put it on.  It is on so tight that I bent the filter wrench.  Unbelievable. Yes... I took the little clip off.  Please help, I am stuck!!! Thanks in advance... BTW, I saw a post on this once before with pictures but of course can not find it! Thanks in advance for your help.

I would call the nearest Lexus Dealership and find out.  It was my understanding that the first 2 oil and filter are done complimentary. (in reply to natronium) Post #: 2

Also, the filter does not need to put on tight, only hand tight. Too tight you will damage the threads (in reply to rexpak) Post #: 3
