Service schedule?
Are the components of the major services posted here or elsewhere? Other than a recent oil change, my new 98LS w/ 122k presumably needs the rest of a 30k service, and the owners manual (the only book I received with the car) doesn't list the specific items to check/adjust/replace.

You can supposedly get such info at the Lexus website, but I find that site slow, clunky, with a terrible search function, and generally unsuitable for learning anything useful. Here's the 120K service (from the maintenance supplement to the owner's manual):
Replace:
* Engine oil/filter
* Engine air filter
* Spark plugs
* Engine coolant
* Brake fluid
* AC filter
Rotate tires
Inspect:
* Valves (auditory inspection)
* Drive belts
* Fuel lines, connections, tank vapor vent hoses, tank band, tank cap gasket, charcoal canister
* Exhaust pipes and mountings
* Brake linings, discs/drums, lines, hoses
* Steering linkages
* Rack and pinion assembly (for leaks)
* Ball joints/covers
* Drive shaft boots (retorque flange bolts)
* Transmission and differential oil
* Body
For special operating conditions only (if the car has been towing a trailer, or has been making repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in below freezing temps, or has been idled a lot or driven at low speed for long distances as with delivery vehicles, or has been operating on rough, unpaved, dusty, muddy or salt-covered roads):
Replace:
* Timing belt
* Transmission and differential oil
Inspect body/chassis nuts and bolts
Replace:
* Engine oil/filter
* Engine air filter
* Spark plugs
* Engine coolant
* Brake fluid
* AC filter
Rotate tires
Inspect:
* Valves (auditory inspection)
* Drive belts
* Fuel lines, connections, tank vapor vent hoses, tank band, tank cap gasket, charcoal canister

Thanks. Thats a big help for setting my agenda for the weekend. Prepurchase inspection already recommended changing diff, trans fluids and air and cabin filters. Other than that I'll just enjoy my first weekend as a Lex owner. For the long run I'll try and track down a copy of that supplement.
