Whether your 2018 RC 300 left the line with the 2.0L turbocharged four (8AR-FTS) or the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS), this Lexus service and repair manual is tied to that exact year, engine and trim, so the clearances, torque figures and service intervals it gives are the ones Lexus published for this car and not values carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2018 RC 300. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel system on the delivery side, specifically the fuel pump: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. The campaign reached well beyond this car, taking in certain 2018-2019 Toyota models along with the Lexus RC 350, GS 350 and GX 460. Owners have filed 1 complaint for the year and Lexus has issued 58 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems are here.
From chasing a stall back through fuel delivery to a routine service interval on either engine, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2018 RC 300.
