Default 2010 ES350 Brake Bleeding Pattern

Hi All,

Planning on flushing out the brake fluid from the 350 this weekend, but I wanted to check if the 2010 es350 followed the standard bleeding pattern (rear passenger side -> rear driver side -> passenger side -> driver side). Have any of you guys gone through the DIY, and would any of you guys happen to know what the suggested pattern is?

Thanks.

I would just do it the way you know, start the farthest from the master to the closest, what could you hurt by doing that, ya know. Im sure lexus has som elaborate way of doing it for $$$

flipp4 is right. Bleed passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, then driver front. Torque the bleeder plugs to: 8.3 N·m (85 kgf·cm, 73in·lbf).

Locations are right. What I usually do it take a turkey baster and suck out the fluid in the reservoir and fill up with new brake fluid that is a different color then what is in there. Bleed until you see the color change. Done.
