Everything in this service and repair manual is keyed to the 1996 Lexus LX 450 as Lexus built it that year — the 4.5L inline-six (1FZ-FE) in Base trim — so the clearances, torque figures and procedures you work to are the ones written for this exact year, engine and trim rather than values carried over from an adjacent model year.
