I'm at 185,000 miles with my 2000 RX 300 on the original timing belt. However, I have a slow oil seal leak and I was told to wait to change the belt until around 200,000 miles and do all the seals and the belt at the same time. Like you, I have serviced it religiously every 5000 miles at the Dealer until the last 20,000 miles when I switched to every 5000 miles at a local garage who only works on Japanese cars (for half the price). She still runs like a charm

I have a 2000 RX 300 with approximately 175,000 miles. Approximately 6 mos ago, I again replaced my headlights at the dealer because they burned out (nonhalogen I think). Since then, I've noticed that my high beams are completely ineffective in illuminating the road and appear to have the same coverage as the low beams. I have since tried replacing them with a brighter bulb and had them reaimed (by the dealer) and they are still unchanged. An independent repair shop noted that these are single filament bulbs but were appropriate as per the Lexus repain manual. Should they be double filament and am I using the wrong bulbs? I live in a relatively rural area with lots of deer and this is a safety issue. Thanks
