Below is the reply I got from Edmunds. As you can see, they are INSISTING that the normal oil change interval is 7500 miles and claiming the manual says such...and that the manual differentiates between "normal" conditions and severe useag. Mine manual says NO SUCH THING. And the scheduled service "book" shows a place for the dealer to confirm an oil change (plus whatever else) every 5000 miles. No where, anywhere, is there any mention of any sort of 7500 mile schedule, under ANY condition.
Am I crazy? I need more support here guys so they can see they are posting wrong info. Here is what Edmunds said:
Thank you for contacting Edmunds.com.
The frequency of service depends on your individual driving conditions. Our Maintenance Guide is based on "Normal" driving conditions. Here is an excerpt from the 2006 Lexus Maintenance Guide:
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain maintenance for your Lexus every 5,000 miles or every 7,500 miles. Follow these guidelines to determine which interval to use.
5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5,000-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under any of the following conditions:
- Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
- Towing a trailer or using a camper or car-top carrier.
- Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7,500-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under conditions other than those listed above.
Most drivers will operate their vehicle in "Normal" conditions (the 7,500-Mile Interval conditions in this case). However, if you are driving in more severe conditions, including those not listed above, you may consider following the 5,000-Mile interval.
I hope this information was helpful to you. Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.
Kind regards,

I've only had this happen two times in the three years that I've had my'07 RX. Luckily, I wasn't on a busy road and would pull off to the side of the road and turn the car off and turn it back on, and then it was fine, and all of those lights would turn off. Must be an ocassional computer glitch or something.

Mine have been going on for over a year and a half now. All idiot lights suddenly come on. I turn the engine off and it clears itself and when I restart they are fine. This is now beginning to happen more frequently. Its worth noting that my daughter has an 04 Sienna van with the same power train and she has the same problem only not as frequently. I suspect that this is a systemic problem but have not found any TB's on this issue. I also suspect that Toyota has probably done a masterfull job at concealing this as they seem to do on most systemic problems that could require a substantial number of no charge fixes.

Remove the batteyr connections and clean and burnish the posts and connections. If the problem continues replace the battery. So much on-board electronics these days more sensitive to low battery voltages.

2004 AWD gas tank capacity

I can not put more than 17 gallons of gas in our RX330 no matter how dry it is. The owners manual says 19 gallon. Is it possible that FWD tank holds 19 gallons and AWD version can only hold 17?

Battery is only 11 months old. Its a top of the line battery and the post connections are always kept clean. Ditto on my daughters Sienna. Still think its a systemic problem and would like to know if anyone elses has this issue on either the van or the RX.

The fill tube into the tank is intentionally designed to be somewhat below the top of the tank. On the chance gasoline expands there is room. Pumping gas from underground into a tank with the OAT above 100F.....
