BadBrad Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Any body know the torque that the oil canister is supposed to be torque on ? Presuming you are talking about the oil filter housing on your 2010+ RX, I go 90 percent effort - hand tighten, using no wrench or other device of mechanical advantage. Take care not to damage the O-ring and lube it before installing the housing back on the engine block. Mine doesn't leak with this level of effort. I found the dealer and factory to overtighten this housing (typical of the gorillas in service departments). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye22 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I agree with Brad. Just use your fingers to tighten down the filter housing. IMO, as it is metal ending up on metal, hand tightening works...I have not had a leak after 5 oil changes on my 2010 RX350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
