Replying to: lovecd (May 04, 2008 11:38 pm) Changing the oil filter on the RX350 is much easier than on the RX330. The 330 required removal of a relatively large piece of the underside plastic to access the spin-off filter. The 350 has a small plastic door (underside, front, approx directly below the washer fluid filler cap, remove two screws holding it in place and it swings down & off) which provides access to the filter. I'm not pushing Fram, but I used a CH9972 filter element and the directions were excellent ... pictures included !! Use a 3/8" square drive to unscrew the filter housing (careful, oil may be hot or spill), you'll need a pan underneath while unscrewing the filter housing. Inside the housing is the replaceable filter element. Quick & easy, very nice design. Replies to this message: pschiffe (Feb 08, 2009 7:07 pm)
#22 of 27 how many miles can be driven for 6 months? by Firebird_EOU Feb 06, 2009 (8:35 pm)
I could have driven 12,000 miles in 6 months... is that OK?   5,000-Mile Or 6-Month Intervals Use 5,000-mile or 6-month intervals if you primarily drive your Lexus under any of the following conditions: - Driving on unpaved or dusty roads - Towing a trailer or using a camper or cartop carrier - Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures below freezing   6-Month Intervals Use 6-month intervals if you primarily drive your Lexus under conditions less strenuous than those listed above.

Replying to: ADKers (Jan 23, 2009 9:07 am) Lexus recommends replacement of the oil plug gasket whenever changing the oil. Don't know if an aftermarket replacement is available but OEMs can be sourced from Toyota dealers.   Pete
#24 of 27 Does maintenance come with new lexus purchase? by jpzy3 Mar 08, 2009 (6:54 pm)
Does maintenance come with new lexus purchase?   I'm more familiar with BMWs and maintenance is included for first 4yrs/50,000. I thought it was included with a Lexus purchase as well, but from what I'm gathering from this forum it isn't. Someone mentioned they pre-paid for maintenance... anyone recommend what a good price is and for how long are the contracts?

Replying to: jpzy3 (Mar 08, 2009 6:54 pm) Only 5K service was gratis on my 2007 RX350, presume it is still the same. My 99 RX300 included both 5K and 10K free service as I recall. I generally go to a Toyota dealer for routine maintenance, about half the price of the Lexus store but no gourmet breakfast, free loaner or quick and dirty car wash. Same parts and level of competence, no problem whatever unless you have warranty issues; which are few.   Pete Replies to this message: jpzy3 (Mar 23, 2009 6:06 pm)
