2008 Lexus LS 600hL Service and Repair Manual

Fitment on this one is deliberately narrow: the 2008 Lexus LS 600hL service and repair manual is tied to that single model year and its Base trim, so the clearances, tolerances and torque sequences you work to are the values Lexus published for this car rather than figures carried across from an adjacent model year or a different LS variant.

• 5.0L V8 full hybrid (2UR-FSE) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2008 LS 600hL. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers gasoline fuel delivery — 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: micro-foreign objects in the material of the valve spring may degrade the strength of the spring, possibly causing it to break; the engine could fail and stop suddenly while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 49 complaints for the year. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are chasing a leak at the fuel delivery pipe, going into the valvetrain, or working through a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2008 LS 600hL.
