'14 GS 350 Oil Change Mistake
#16
Instructor
Oil filter question. I went to Amazon and purchased 5 Toyota 04152-YZZA1 filters after my last change and noticed these look smaller than what I just put in. I went thru old Club Lexus oil filter exchanges and am not sure if I should exchange or not. Seems like for my model ('14 GS 350 RWD), I should have purchased YZZA3. Can someone confirm what I need? The YZZA1 seem shorter...

Yeah, I have been reading threads how then pinch welds get all messed up after repeated use. I did examine the pinch welds below my Lexuss and you can see the metal surrounding it is darker, showing it is re-inforced between the two notches. This implies Lexus did expect jacks to go on those reinforced portions, not the actual pinch weld.
I'm thinking this weekend of creating my own jack cover out of wood from 1x1s but running a groove across the top of it so it won't put pressure on the pinch weld. I'll let you know how it turns out. The jack cover would then act like the grooved hockey puck for regular jacks but will be customized for my jack stands.
