Fitment on this one is narrow by design: the 2018 Lexus RC F was built around a single powertrain, the 5.0L V8 (2UR-GSE), and this service and repair manual is matched to that year, engine and trim, so the clearances, torque figures and procedures it gives are the ones Lexus published for the 2018 car rather than a carryover from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2018 RC F. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel system on the delivery side, at the fuel pump: Toyota recalled certain 2015-2018 Lexus RC F vehicles equipped with 5.0L V8 2UR-GSE engines because a cracked cover may leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk. No complaints have been filed for the year, and Lexus has issued 45 technical service bulletins. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether the job is a fuel pump inspection on the 2UR-GSE or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2018 RC F.
