Replying to: krellu (Sep 10, 2006 6:41 am) there is no trans dipstick. the dealer will open a plug on the tranny and check the fluid at 30K.
#10 of 18 400h 5K service? by ravlegend Oct 23, 2006 (12:45 pm)
Is everyone getting the 5k service free at your Lexus dealer?   or is this service free regardless of where you brought your Lexus from?   (sort of liked a Lexus national policy for the first scheduled maintenance) Replies to this message: lonlin68 (Oct 26, 2006 8:22 am)

#12 of 18 Who is correct about intervals for oil change? by bobgail1 Nov 04, 2006 (8:23 am)
At the website for mobiloil.com, they say that if you use Mobil 1 synthetic extended life oil, you can go 15,000 miles between oil changes on the RX400H. The dealers are charging quite a bit of money for this service they want to perform every 5000 miles. Who is correct? Replies to this message: katzjamr (Nov 04, 2006 7:22 pm)

Replying to: bobgail1 (Nov 04, 2006 8:23 am) I am the first to admit lexus oil changes are not cheap, however they include tire rotation, and a load check on the traction battery. my car is also detailed, tires, wheels, windows and vacuumed inside with a normal oil change. Some people like to go to a toyota dealer who is willing and have their oil changed for less than what a quick lube will charge and that includes the toyota oil filter which is better than most. That is one less expensive option than a lexus dealer. Some dealers will let you bring your own oil especially if you have a brand preference, and you can save that way. do whatever you want, all i am saying is dont lose your warranty just because you want to go 15K between oil changes. you are in a sense comparing apples and oranges, the dealers at 5K are using conventional or synthetic blend oil. mobil is talking specifically about a full extented life synthetic only going 15K with a high quality filter. personally i go with a more frequent oil change with a synthetic blend.
#14 of 18 low tire light explanation by dorenescar Nov 03, 2007 (8:15 am)
Hi all,   I have had a low tire light on for a week, even after my husband filled and measured the pressure. I called the service manager, who seemed familiar with the problem. He said it was because the spare needs to be lowered. I'll bring it in today to have this done. If the spare needs to be lowered, why don't they do it before it is sold? This seems strange to me...our vehicle is 5 months old. If anyone has had this happen, please post.. Thanks!
#15 of 18 Lexus 400h extra packages options by kavimandan Nov 20, 2007 (4:09 am)
Hey all,     Just bought a Lexus 400h, the dealer is offering me the following packages I am thinking on adding:   (i) Multi-shield protection package (695$). Includes: "Door Ding," "Windshield repair" and "Super polyhield". Super polyshield protects the interior and exterior.   (ii) Lojack: $695   (iii) Gap insurance: $685   Any thoughts/advice/comments on the packages based on your experience?   Nik
#16 of 18 Lexus RX400H Engine Serial Number by mjw28 Nov 26, 2008 (4:27 am)
Can anyone explain where the engine serial number is located and how it can be viewed. The information is required for importing the car. Fingers crossed! Jack
#17 of 18 Oil Filter location by wyn4 Sep 01, 2009 (11:13 am)
Can anyone tell me where the oil filter is located on the 2008 RX400h? Thanks Replies to this message: grabo (Sep 20, 2009 5:42 pm)

Replying to: wyn4 (Sep 01, 2009 11:13 am) On my 2006 400H it is on the front (approximately the middle) of the block, attaching horizontally toward the radiator. You have to remove the close-out panel under the radiator (10 machine and fasteners, screws and bolts). Quite accessible after the panel is removed.
