Hi all,
All of the great DIY's posted in this forum have given me the courage to carry out my own maintenance on my '09 GS 350 AWD. Just this weekend I did 30,000 service: oil change, air filter & cabin filter change, and replace front brakes. Got all of the parts from irontoad.com for a great price. I called a few area Lexus dealerships to find out how much they would charge for the above work. I saved over $600!!!!

Can anyone tell me when I should change the PCV valve and fuel filter?
Are there any DIY's for replacing these?
Are there and other repairs I should be carrying out?

Thanks,
Chris

Just follow you're maintance manual, there is no PCV valve or fuel filter listen in our owners manual.

PCV valve is cheap and easy to replace, changing it every other oil change or something is no big deal.

Can anyone provide instructions on how to replace the PCV valve and/or fuel filter?

BinaryJay

PCV Valve... you just pull it off and stick a new one in, it's clearly visible on the back top of the engine.

Thanks, BinaryJay.

Can anyone let me know how to change the fuel filter? Or at least how often it should be changed?

BinaryJay

It doesn't need to be changed unless you have a problem with fuel pressure.

Its down in the gas tank, like you would need to remove the whole gas bucket to get to it. Forget it we are in 21 century fuel filters don't need replacements.
