How to remove, inspect, and install the oil pump in 3.5L V6 engine on Lexus RX350?

Turn the relief valve plug counterclockwise with a 27 mm socket to take it out, as well as the spring and the valve. Next unscrew the oil pump cover bolts and remove the oil pump cover and then remove the oil pump drive rotor and then the driven rotor. Wipe all parts with solvent and check for sign of wear or damage, the oiled relief valve should be able to move back and forth inside its bore. This valve has a sliding surface and a valve spring; both are changed as a set if worn out. Check the gap of the driven rotor-to-body, rotor side and tip by utilizing feller gauge and precision straight edge with corresponding replace worn parts or the new entire oil pump assembly. To remove the old crankshaft seal, pry it out from the timing chain cover and applying multi-purpose grease or engine oil on the outer part of the brand new crank seal to be installed and knock it into the cover using a deep socket and hammer, ensuring that the seal lip is also lubricated. Apply petroleum jelly with thin coat uniformly to the pump drive and driven rotors, place them in the timing chain cover where the marks are pointed out. Pour petroleum jelly into the pump cavity, put on the cover and, using a torque wrench, tighten the bolts to the required nominal torque. Grease the oil pressure relief valve with some clean engine oil and place it together with the spring in the pump cover and tighten the plug. Last, refit the timing chain cover, reverse through the steps of removal, fill with oil, put in a new filter, start the engine, and look for signs of leakage.

Lexus RX350 Oil Pump

The purpose of the Lexus RX350 Oil Pump is to keep engine parts lubricated by pushing pressurized oil through bearings, pistons and cam surfaces to keep heat and friction under control. In every RX350, this Oil Pump bolts near the crankshaft, sucking in oil via a mesh pickup, forcing it past the filter and cooler and through to the galleries monitored by pressure sensors. Many versions of the Lexus use a crank driven gear pump, either direct drive hugging the crank snout or side mounted gear pump or chain setup, both manufactured for steady flow. Early RX350 models favored direct drive but newer ones use gear or chain drives, all aiming for roughly 10 psi per 1,000 revs to keep the dash light off. No matter what style the Oil Pump is, it uses a relief valve, which opens under excess pressure, and the pickup must be kept clean to avoid starvation. Performance packages in select Lexus trims with wider bearing gaps may be paired with a high volume Oil Pump to provide extra flow during high RPM stress. When a Lexus engine is rebuilt, the RX350 Oil Pump is stripped and the gears, housing and driveshaft are inspected to ensure that it resumes its flawless lubrication when reinstalled.

Should you need to purchase new auto parts for your vehicle, we strongly suggest you consider the genuine Lexus RX350 Oil Pump available on LexusPartsNow.com. Our OEM Lexus RX350 Oil Pump come with the reassurance of the manufacturer's warranty, a hassle-free return policy, and speedy delivery service, all at affordable prices online.
