any reason you guys change oil every 5K vs 3K like i'm used to?
and does running the heater on vent affect fuel consumption?

Wow, I think that about does it for my servicing questions. I guess to the Lexus dealer it is, thanks again guys for the help. Luckily for you all, I have a few more questions! Until I order the owners manual you guys are stuck w. me.!
Firstly, I wanted to know how I program the garage door opener button on my Lexus visor.
Secondly, is there something I can use to make my chrome really SHiNE! I know most of you will tell me to just get it detailed but I actually enjoy washing my own car, I always have. Gives me something to do on Sat morn before I go out for the night plus I get some quality time with CARLA. (her new name). =) I can manage to get it nice and clean with just water and a rag but I want to be able make it so shiny people go blind lookin at her!

Alright guys thanks so far for the info, been pretty helpful so far.. it looks like I need to get the owners manual, I didn't even get one! anyways, I noticed I have traction control button. Should I drive with it on all the time or only in bad conditions? does it effect fuel economy anyhow?
In my post I mentioned whether or not to service at the Lexus dealer, I'm about 2k mi from my first oil change and wanted to know how much more expensive it is there. I just wouldn't feel right paying say $50 bucks for an oil change, when I can go to my regular guys and get charged $8 ya know? But when you mention good ol Lexus pampering I guess it does make a little sense, but they use the same oil everyone else does right?
Thanks again for answering my newb questions!

Hi everyone , thanks for taking the time to read this and for any input you guys can give me. I recently bought an '03 preowned Lexus IS 300 w. every option including GPS and chrome. I LOVE this car, definite upgrade from my Integra!
I just have a few minor questions to ask. First one is that I noticed my front tires have less air than the back two, must be from all the "break in" driving I did when I bought it. =) anyways, I realized I don't know the proper PSI the tires should be at. Is there a reccommended PSI? Secondly, I noticed the seat warmers only get so hot than seem to kind of level off. A buddy of mine has the Cadilliac CTS-V and his warmers are HOT! anyone else notice this? I also wanted to make a few mods to the car and wanted to know if there is any brand/type of intake worrks "best". With the intake I wanted to get a new computer chip for performance, any thoughts? My last concern is with normal upkeep, is it a must to go to the dealership or all oil,fluid etc etc.? or can I go to the good ol guys at goodyear?
Thanks again.
