How difficult is it to do an oil change on an RC300 turbo?

I've done oil changes on all my cars. During the buying process the finance manager was trying to get me to buy the extra maintenance option which I turned down.

She mentioned that oil changes on the RC300 turbo are difficult, even for a third party shop.

I'm thinking she was bull ****ting me to get the maintenance option, but I haven't been under the car yet so I can't tell for myself if it is straight forward or it is more difficult than usual.

This should help. I believe the 300 and 350 are basically the same. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...il-change.html

He's talking about the turbo I think.

I just did my IS200t, layout should be identical to your car. Pretty easy as long as you can safely get the car up.

You'll need a special toyota oil change wrench and 5 quarts of 0w-20 (I got this from Amazon--super cheap and very high quality stuff--excellent wear properties as shown on this youtube channel where this guy subjects all oils to very hard wear tests) and don't forget the oil filter. (also on amazon somewhere)

The oil filter is located right next to the oil drain pan bolt, towards the drivers side a bit, directly under the drivers seat somewhat. you can't miss it.

Just looked at that 350 DIY. the locations are quite different for the Turbo engine. just an FYI
