Default 10K, 15K & 20K service....

Is there a link to a site that details what is performed/required at each service (10K, 15K, 20K etc).
I just wanted to see where the major overhauls (i.e. expenses) are at each level.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if I would trust the link above. It shows no service interval at 5,000 miles and there are no required services listed at 10,000 miles. At 15,000 it suggests changing the trans fluid and differential fluid. While some may argue it wouldn't hurt to change the fluid at 15K, it is not needed per the RX300 user manual. I don't see re-torqueing of the drives shaft bolts listed as in the RX300 manual. The site also says to change the spark plugs at 90K, while RX300 manual says there good to 120K. The site says to just check the timing belt at 90K, while the RX300 manual says to change it. If you want to view an accurate list of the services per the RX300 users manual check over at the Edmunds site.

30- 60 - 90 - 120 are all majors heres what they do(at my shop at least)
trans service

90 also has timing belt

You may want to check your RX owners manual. Your local shop is close but to Lexus recommendations but not quite there.
