Default Basic Maintenance questions

Hi Folks...I'm making a list of maintenance that has been done (I have records from previous owner) compared to the Lexus Maintenance book and have a few basic maintenance questions.

I know it's early and just getting some coffee in me but......

I don't see replace fuel filter in the book? What am I missing?

Is the air conditioner filter the same as cabin filter? (in glovebox?)

TIA for the inout

Chip

fuel filter is a maint. item, generally lasts until it dies. most modern filters made in the past 10 years will actually go the life of the car because of relatively clean gas in the US and the fine mesh pocket around the pump pickup in the tank.

AC Filter= Cabin Air Filter.

THX Puredrifter. I'm skeptical it lasts "the life of the car" Lexus says the same w/ water pump. But we are all keeping these cars WAY beyond normal life cycle/

THX for the input
