2008 Lexus GS 460 Service and Repair Manual

Every clearance, torque figure and diagnostic value in this 2008 Lexus GS 460 service and repair manual is tied to this exact year, engine and trim — the 4.6L V8 (1UR-FSE) as Lexus built it for 2008 — instead of a close-enough number carried over from another GS variant.

Known issues on the 2008 GS 460. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the gasoline fuel delivery system — hoses, lines, piping and fittings: anti-corrosion plating remnants can let fuel leak from the point where the fuel pressure sensor attaches to the fuel delivery pipe, and a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. The second covers the engine: micro-foreign objects in the material of the valve spring may degrade the strength of the valve spring, possibly causing the spring to break, so the engine could fail and stop suddenly while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are pressure-testing the fuel delivery line, working the valve train on the 1UR-FSE or following a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2008 GS 460.
