trips1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks to everyone on posting so much of useful information on Transmission oil change and other issues. I was going through the following DIY thread: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx300-foru...ter-change.html I am a novice and have few questions. Why do we have to change the Oil Strainer and Filter. Can it not be cleaned?? If the original filter is a metallic mesh then i would assume it can be cleaned with Alcohol based cleaners? Also since so many of you may have done this. Can i ask what is the best place to get the required parts: 35168-21010 and 35330-06010? Any online store? Thanks a lot to everyone in advance.

lenore Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 If you have the wire mesh screen filter then yes you can clean it. Suggest spraying it with Brake cleaner and let dry. However the wire mesh screen filter is no longer available so if anyone changed it recently, then you probably have the paper medium filter inside. These can clog and would require replacement. Here is a great tuturial..... http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx300-foru...ter-change.html sorry about repeating that site. By the way there are lots of sites Carson/Lexus Toyota, Lexus of Plano Texas, RockAuto.com....or your nearest toyota dealership. Weigh in the cost of shipping versus local....
