Unlikely that any engine damage has occurred. Get it out on the highway and pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations. What you will probably need is a new battery.

Zero issue.
Find my post somewhere... I accidentally ran something like 27,000 km and 2 years on the same oil. 0w20 Castrol Synthetic. I got it analyzed when I changed it and there was NOTHING wrong with it.

If your RX350 is currently running well without any issue; then your engine is fine. I once stored my old 1992 Mazda Protege for 3 years without an oil change while I was stationed in Germany on an Army tour from 1997-2000. The car started right up and ran perfectly with the old 3 year low quality non-synthetic Kendal brand oil still in the engine when I returned home. Therefore, I will assume that your engine with modern synthetic oil is just fine with only two years of storage.
