what is torque ft.lbs rating for

oil pain drain bolt
oil filter canister

?

Does both the IS250 and IS350 use the same 65mm 14 flute filter SST wrench?
I see one for $50 from Lexus but then KD tool makes one to this spec for $6
Also autozone "OEM" brand as mentioned in the threads here.

I have the autozone OEM brand and it works very well. tq ft lbs is for the drain bolt, and possibly the canister but Im not sure on that. Funny you post this Im about to change my oil right now LOL

sjgIS350

the torque spec for the canister is on the Toyota filter box..not sure of the drain plug

Not sure of exact torque spec, since we don't torque them down anyway, but i would say snug, plus 1/2 turn. please don't overtighten plug. use your feel to know that when it's tight its tight. make sure you change the drian plug gasket with new.

Thats funny, cause Ive been doing my oil changes for the last 3months and I always threw away the drain plug washer! LOL But earlier I used it

OK I have been doing toyota changes with that same drain plug washer (rubber type) 30 ft lbs always worked well.

Not sure on the filter housing though, I read the other thread says 18 ft lbs

I really need to get the technical manual just no time yet!

You will be fine with snug.
