Fitment for this service and repair manual begins with the 2009 Lexus GS 350 itself — the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FSE) in the driveline Lexus sold that year — so the clearances, torque values and diagnostic steps you follow are the ones written for this car, not numbers carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2009 GS 350. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it falls on the engine: loose bolts could cause the VVT gear housing and sprocket to separate. Owners have filed 11 complaints for the year and Lexus has issued 54 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
From a timing-side inspection on the 2GR-FSE to a driveline check on an AWD car or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2009 GS 350.
