Fuel filter or PCV replacement are not included in the regular scheduled maintenance for the ES300 until 180 months or 150 K.

it's not a bad idea to change them, but the fuel filter is not an easy job.
you are better off letting a mechanic do it for you.

Given the sludge potential history of this model, I would definitely change the PCV valve.

It's less than $20.00 at Lexus and an easy 5 min. DIY job. No tools required.

Once a year on both.
PCV valve takes less then 2 minutes to replace and fuel filter 20-30 min.

Around $4-5 for the pcv valve and around $20 for a fuel filter.
