rc350 F Engine Oil Change!
I am trying to change engine oil myself for the first time and wanted to make sure which parts I need to prepare.
I have the 0W-20 Mobil 1 Engine Oil, and what do i need the rest? I am considering only genuine OEM parts, (engine oil filters?)
I am trying to make an online order so I don't have to go to the dealership to get them so would be appreciated If can attach the links as well.
I am changing my oil every 9k ~ 10k miles, how often do people change them?
Thank you.

The OEM Toyota/Lexus oil filter is part number 04152-YZZA3. Aside from common sockets and a socket wrench, you'll also need a specialized Toyota/Lexus oil filter tool. You could pick up both items fairly inexpensively in the parts department at a Toyota dealership.
During my first at-home oil change, I took the opportunity to also replace the oil drain plug with a Fumoto valve to make future changes easier. You may want to consider that if you change your oil often.

Is the oil filter installed vertically or horizontally? Just bought the car last month and haven't crawled under to check. I always do all my own oil changes on all my vehicles so I was wondering if it was worth investing in one of these... https://www.motivxtools.com/products...ter-drain-tool
