Some Toyota vehicles are being investigated for acceleration caused by floor mat interference with accelerator pedals, as well other possible causes. Although the Lexus RX series is not included, I believe, as part of driver training/licensing, that one should know what to do if such an event occurs while driving any vehicle. I believe the most expedient and safest reaction would be to disengage the drivetrain by shifting into neutral, and/or depressing the clutch on a manual transmission. Waiting until pulling over and stopping before shutting off the engine should enable the power steering/brakes to function as needed. My RX shift pattern allows for moving the shift lever from drive into neutral without being concerned about possible overmovement into reverse or park. Some shift patterns of older vehicles may require a more careful movement of the lever, but in an emergency a damaged tranny may well be better than a collision.

Filter is located on curb side near wheel area. It is not covered by any panel so should be easy to see/service. From below????? Yes, from under vehicle.

I recently took my RX350 to the dealer for a free 5000 miles/6 month service which was to include oil/filter change and tire rotation. I had only 3000 miles on it, but the 6 months from delivery was up the next day. Upon arrival, I told the service advisor that I was here for the 6 month service. After looking up the vehicle on his computer he said they would check all the fluid levels, do the AC wiring recall mod, and provide a free car wash. I asked about the oil/filter change, etc, and was told I could wait to have it done when I'd put another 2000 miles on it. I said what about the warranty requirement, and he said they would change the oil/filter etc IF I WANTED. Well, I wanted to keep the warranty requirement as well as new oil so I told them to do it. Someone else might have said ok to wait until the odometer read the required miles...BUT, if they had a warranted problem it would be the owners word against the dealer's service advisor. This may be an isolated case, but be advised, especially if you have someone else take your vehicle for service.

My 2010 RX 350 came with standard 18' tires of Bridgestone brand. I prefer the aspect ratio of the 18's for more cushion. All the vehicles with 18" wheels at my dealer had this brand tire. So far I like how the vehicle rides and handles with these shoes. Wh2

Great instructions and pix! One question: Does the filter panel have a hinge that allows the "door" to drop down out of the way or???/ Thanks much. wh2

I want to do oil and filter changes myself on my 2010 RX 350. Any info on wrench type/size, panel removal, things to be aware of, etc, would be appreciated. Also, any suggestions for OEM filter sources. I've done more oil changes than I care to remember, but this is my first Lexus, and I'd prefer any guidance you have to offer. Thank you kindly

trcr1: I just checked, and voila, it is right where you said it was! My dealer may not want to tell its location so that owners may have to bow to them and pay for resets. So much for "automatic" resetting; why else would they put in that button/circuitry? Thank you

Thanks, AudioDave. Would you please ask your dealer to explain. My dealer is arrogant and non-responsive to my inquiry, even after approaching management in a kind, professional manner. I'd go to Lexus HQs, except my dealer would probably screw over me on any further dealings. Thanks again. Wh2

Does anyone know where the tire pressure monitoring system reset button is located on my 2010 RX 350? The owner's manual shows a button on the lower dash to the right of the steering column, but my vehicle does not have it. I questioned my dealer and was told it automatically resets itself ( this after he unsuccessfully tried to locate it under the dash). While his explanation may be correct, I have a feeling he wanted to give an expeditious answer. The manual should be corrected if this new "automatic reset" feature is true.
