Yes, I have searched - been searching for the better part of 2 days now.
I don't have the owner's maintenance manual, car didn't come with it

Does anyone know exactly what this service entails? I have called 2 dealerships and 1 independent shop and they have all told me something different. Some told me the 90k service includes timing belt, some said it didn't. Some said it included cam seals and water pump, some said it didn't. Looking for some sort of definitive answer to see if I should bite the bullet and take it to the dealer or buy the parts and attempt it myself.
Thanks!

My opinion... 90k, oil and filter change, trans fluid change, diff fluid change, air filter, spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, seals, idler, fuel filter (i cant remember if its accessable on this car), brake fluid flush, coolant change (with water pump replacement anyway), and i think thats about it. Im sure someone will correct me if ive missed something.

Thanks for the reply. Would you have any idea what Lexus actually reccommends, though? One dealer said the 90k mile service includes the timing belt, the other told me I'd have to pay extra to get the timing belt done

Alright, Per Lexus:

Replace:
Air Filter
Auto Trans Fluid
Brake Fluid
Diff Fluid
Oil/Filter
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Timing Belt
Coolant

In addition, if you are doing the timing belt, go ahead and do the crank/cam seals on the front of the motor, with the water pump and any idler pulleys. These are fairly inexpensive parts that are prone to failure with that type of mileage and would require another timing belt replacement labor if they fail. edit: add in a serpentine belt if it is cracked at al as it will already be off

You are not required to do every part of the 90k service, so, you will pay for the parts you do. Whether or not the dealer packages the timing belt in with their standard 90k service is up to them.

Thanks for all the responses, folks. Took it in this morning and am getting the timing belt, cam seals, water pump and a couple other things done. Total is about $1299; the 90k service is separate and they said since it's not my DD I can wait, so I will.
