Default Oil change question

Quick question is the oil filter wrench on Sewell's website for the RX350 the same as I would need for a 330? Thanks

I appreciate it

Off the top of my head, I'd say no because the RX350 uses a cartridge type oil filter whereas the RX330 uses the screw on type filter. However, not having an RX350 to check, I'm not sure what the oil filter cap looks like - maybe it's the same shape as the top of a screw on type filter..

Here is a DIY oil change procedure with PICTURES. The GS350 and RX350 are done the same way. The old spin off type oil filter went away with the 2007 model year.

5W-30 you need about 4.7 L with a new filter (D1 is the size from Toyota/Lexus). I just pour the whole jug in and it's at the max line
