It's right in the middle of the engine cover, the raised part with the Lexus logo on it - unclip it at both ends and then it pulls straight up.

[mattc]

[gary2009]

if you have questions just ask mate. not a problem. oil filter is in a weird postion but should not be hard to remove

[gary2009]

cheers mate this is why its great to be part of forums like this.

here you go mate.............thought i'd help you out,was done on my is200 sport by me
well heres the last how too oil and filter change
remove the sump plug 14mm


now for the oil filter the best way to get at it is through the n/s front wheel arch area

i'm a cheat i have the propper filter tool at my work makes it easyer

heres my wee stubby ratchit ideal for this job

the filter is removed through the space you just had your arm up

you fit your new filter in the reverse order
remember and fit a new sump plug washer before fitting the sump plug tighten up and fill with oil job done.


sorry for the pic size
the car used for the demo in the three how toos was my own.
i am a tec and have been for a while!!you do the following at your own risk.

[mattc]

have you lost your sump plug, you reuse them you just put a new washer on when you change the oil??as long as its the same thread it will be fine.
