For what it's worth, after what my friend said I went out and traded my RX for an 07 IS 250 (it's coming in next week). A much more "masculine" car (IMHO) without sacrificing the Lexus quality and luxury I've grown accustomed to. Still, I'm going to miss my RX...must be my feminine side talking :)

Hate to tell you this, the IS 250 is driven by a lot of women as well. I went from a 350z to a RX330 do I care what people think, no.

I like to change oil more often but don't want to go to dealer everytime just for oil change. But I can't find the oil filter housing under the hood. Can anyone help?

Look straight down right behind the radiator you will see a metal housing. That contains the oil filter element. You change the element.

You can access the element by going underneath the car in the middle right in front there is an access panel with 3 screws. Take that off and make sure you have the correct type of filter wrench to remove the cap. I bought an adjustable one from pepboys which looks like this:

You can get the original factory lexus one, but why pay $40+ I paid $8.

Good luck.
