Using a jack with the RX to change tires
Going to switch out my tires this spring (now that they Are charging 60 to switch the tires and 42 for programming the sensors. Used to do both for 60, car wash and a loaner car lol) and by the looks of the manual there are only two points which means both front or both rear tires will be off the ground(less work!) I looked under the car but I can't seem to find the point on the front of the car. Does anyone have real photos showing the jack points? Thanks!

Only one tire is off the ground at a time. One point at each corner of the RX, jack points are in front of the rear tires and behind the front tires. How are you going to reprogram the sensors?

On page 743 of the 2013 RX350 Owner's Manual it shows where to position the floor jack:

Similar to my other cars. I guess what I'm getting at is the manual shows different points(center of front and rear) and says to use the side ones only for emergencies.

If you are going to use a rolling floor jack, yes there is a single lift point in front and one single lift point in back. Two wheels in the air at the same time.
Insert obligatory safety precautions here >>>> be careful
Sorry, no picture of the lift points.

Get a torque wrench for tightening those wheel bolts!

Front and rear lift points. The rear lift point is not that obvious in my photo but it looks very similar, if not exactly like the front lift point. Hope it helps.
