Just go to a Toyato dealer for service and save about 50- 60%. Your new car warrantee is good regardless of where you get your oil changed as long as you keep your receipts. Replies to this message: samsm (Jan 27, 2008 9:55 am)

Replying to: cwayne (Jan 08, 2008 5:09 pm) I own 07 RX350 and I am thinking about getting wheel alignment service. I've just found that it is covered by lexus basic warranty within one year. Has anyone done with the basic warranty? Just want to do before my warranty expires. As a separate question, if we change oil/filter at Toyota dealer, does lexus still honor warranty with the serivces done at Toyota delaer? Thanks,
#10 of 27 Lexus advertising is flat WRONG..!! by wwest Jan 31, 2008 (1:35 pm)
The online technical specifications and the sales brochures, dealer supplied and online e-brochure, for the RX350 continue to state that the AWD system is based on the VC, Viscous Clutch, across the center diff'l. The Lexus shop/repair manuals at techinfo.toyota.com indicate the VC is NOT used in the later models, the RX330 & RX350.   The following was in my email archives....   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------   ...Recently you submitted a question to the Lexus Customer Satisfaction Department.   We will assume your issue has been resolved if we do not hear from you within 120 hours.

Replying to: moolman (Dec 19, 2007 7:02 pm) Hi there,   I used to do oil change by my own for my 97 camry and plan to do the samething to my 07 RX350. I checked both underneath and upper part on my RX350 the other day and unable to find the location of oil filter. Can you give some advice here? Many thanks!

Replying to: lovecd (May 04, 2008 11:38 pm) Lexus designed the RX series modelled after Wonder Woman's car.   The filter is practically invisible mounted immediately under the front side exhaust manifold. Replies to this message: lovecd (May 05, 2008 10:38 am) wwest (May 06, 2008 8:24 am)

Replying to: lovecd (May 05, 2008 10:38 am) Buy the CORRECT filter wrench and on mine I remove the horn mounting bracket for a little easier access. While it's a good idea to drain the crankcase oil with the engine warm (HOT!) it doesn't hurt to let it cool, the exhaust manifold anyway, before tackling the filter.
#15 of 27 Maint Required light doesn't go off after the engine is started by lovecd May 17, 2008 (9:01 pm)
Got the oil change done on my RX350 myself a week ago, quite straight forward and no leak at all. However, I found the maint required light does not go off after the engine is started. Does anybody know what is the reason for this? Many thanks! Replies to this message: catdaddylong (May 19, 2008 4:27 pm)

Replying to: lovecd (May 17, 2008 9:01 pm) You have to reset it.Procedure is in your owners manual. You put in key and turn it but do not start engine and then push in trip/odometer and reset it back to zero it seems or something similar. I have done this on my ES330 but I have to look in the manual everytime.
#17 of 27 Maintenance at 30,000 miles by eortiz Aug 27, 2008 (2:49 pm)
Hello, I was wondering....I have a 2005 Lexus Rx330 and I did not get the 30,000 mile maintenance service I was suppose to have done to it. My car is now at 33,230 miles. Should I still take it to get the services maintenance done? Replies to this message: md_outback (Sep 02, 2008 9:43 am) la4mead (Sep 02, 2008 4:10 pm)
