I was looking for some info about engine oil change and found this:

http://www.automotiveforums.com/t130932-lexus_rx_300__servicing.html

"Other services:

Diff fluid every 15k
tranny fluid change 30k .. (TYPE iV) must be done at Toyota or Lexus . only place to buy that special fluid .. Dexeron 3 will ruin your tranny.
air filter (every other oil change )
cabin filter 15k
fuel filter 10k ( not mentioned in the owners manual but I always do it)
Lexus likes to change all the fluids every 15k but I don't .. your choice as it is your $$ .. "

What is tranny?

Yes, serious. Translation of short forms can be tricky :-). Google tranny and see where you got one on your car (go for images it will be easier to find!) ;-)

That generation of RX300's had a lot of Transmission failure when not maintained. That is why the 15k miles changes, however Mobil1 Full synthetic fluid can be used as well as Amsoil, and some others that are compatible.
