Just saw this question. Attached is a page from the 2004 Shop Manual for the ES330. Seems to show the antenna on the underside of the dash.

See page 58 of the owners manual.

Thanks for the feedback. I looked over the engine and it looks fairly easy to change the filter. I just received a notice from my local Toyota dealer (owned by the same family as the Lexus dealer) for an oil change with "genuine" Toyota oil and filter for $24.95. Sounds like the same as what you would get at Lexus. This might also be the way to go. See what I feel like doing when 10k arrives. Don't know what the Toyota labor rate is but Lexus is $93 an hour.

Had the 30 day/1000 mile service today. Told the service rep that there was a noise in the right rear door. When we picked up the car he told us that a batch of cars went out without the proper foam blocks in the door. They had a TSB and did whatever they had to do. No noise now but I thought they had this fixed since I have been reading posts about it for a few model years back. Car was built in November, 2003. I asked the dealer how much the third service (1 yr./10,000 mi.) would cost. He said $249.00. I suspect that by the time I make it to 10,000 miles it will be higher. He mentioned changing the cabin filter and rotating tires but nothing else. Is this about what other Lexus dealers charge? I don't have a clue since I've always changed my own oil. Don't know how easy it will be on this car. Thanks in advance
