This service and repair manual is written to the 2008 Lexus LS 460L as Lexus built it, matched to this exact model year and trim, so the clearances, torque values and procedures you follow are the ones specified for this car and not figures carried over from an adjacent year of the LS.
Trims
- Base
Known issues on the 2008 LS 460L. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the gasoline fuel delivery system, specifically the hoses, lines, piping and fittings: anti-corrosion plating remnants can allow fuel to 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 itself: micro-foreign objects in the material of the valve spring may degrade the strength of the valve spring, possibly causing the spring to break. The engine could fail and stop suddenly while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. No owner complaints and no technical service bulletins are on federal record for the year. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are here.
Whether you are working on the fuel delivery pipe, the valvetrain, or following a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2008 LS 460L.
