Yes, and it will come in a Toyota box. The filter for the RX is Part No. 04152-YZZA1...
By the way, I get mine from my Lexus dealer which is co-joined with a Toyota showroom next door. They give me the same price I would get if I walked there. Some unethical Lexus dealers prey on a buyer's ignorance, but hey who's going to try and stop them..?
CORRECTION: The Toyota Part No. is indeed 04152-YZZA1 as posted below by lx470man
Note: This was verified and confirmed by a Toyota dealer using my VIN number.

I'm assuming the RX 350's 3.5 L is the exact same engine as the one in our RAV4 (6 cyl) we replaced the RX with, in which case I can use the same Toyota filter I used before.
I changed the oil in the RAV all the time and it was a breeze even though I will admit the cartridge type filter is a little more hassle and a lot more messy than a standard filter.

Amazon.com sells the Assenmacher Toyota 640 oil filter wrench for $16.44 with shipping I think I paid $22.00 a few months ago. It's the perfect fit. Try this link.

I have this Assenmacher tool. It is a solid piece of metal and it would withstand the high torque required to unscrew the RX350 oil filter casing.
The $8 K-D Tools 3253 seems to have an issue.
There was a few pictures on Amazon showing this K-D tool broken into 2 parts.

I have used the K-D Tools 3253 many times on my former RAV4 without any problems. Most of the negative reviews are from idiots that bought the wrong tool for their car. (One had the 4 cyl RAV4 and complained it did not fit. Duh.)

This picture is the filter housing and the tool goes over the housing:

This shows the instruction on the carton holding the new filter:

This is the picture of the tool itself (the stainless steel thing on the right side).

All above pictures are from this thread which shows you how to remove the filter: :

You guys were awesome for me. I have never changed oil ever in my 31 years. But with the prices of these changes, and the ease that I learned it was, I knew it was time to learn. Those step by steps were awesome and the info on parts with descriptions were too.
FYI, if there's any others out there that haven't done something like this before, my oil filter housing wanted to turn with the screw. I actually had to slightly tighten the housing with the Assenmacher TOY 640 first, just slightly, so I could insert the 3/8 extension and remove the housing.

Basically, make sure you have odometer 1 showing when you shut off the vehicle. With the vehicle off, hit the odometer button and leave it in. Hit the start button to turn on the vehicle (Do not press the brake to start it though). Keep the odometer button pressed until the progress bar completes and the light goes off.

I am not sure what the torque is for the oil drain plug for a RX 350 but the Torque required for a 2010 ES 350 is a follows: Oil Drain Plug is 22 ft/lbs, oil filter drain plug is 11 ft/lbs. and the oil filter cartridge is 18 ft/lbs. I converted these from N.m torque specs. Hope this helps everyone. And, you are right, 30 ft/lbs it too much for the oll drain plug.
