Default Lubricant Change intervals

Vehicle is a 2009 RX350 with a 2GR engine.

Can somebody advise on the most prudent change intervals for (Engine Oil I do every 6K miles)..but others:
  1. Coolant - every xxx miles
  2. Brake Fluid :
  3. Power Steering fluid:
  4. Transmission (ATF) fluid
  5. Tranaxle fluid (mine is a FWD - is this needed?)
  6. Differential Fluid

What have you been doing for maintence for the other rx's & vehicles? As you know everyone has a different agenda template for maintence for their vehicles....For me, oil/filter 3k-4k, trans/ Wix trans filter, rear diff/transfer case, coolant, brake fluid flush, 3 yrs. I use 0w-40 Mobil 1, M1 oil filter, 2 qtrs Royal Purple 75-90 diff/tranfer case. a gallon of Maxlife trans fluid, dot 3 brake fluid. Same as all the other vehicles I've had........

All three R350's were purchased last year - 2022.
For other vehicles I change Engine oil every 6K miles,
Coolant and Transmission oil - every 40K miles
Brake Fluid and Power Steering - 60 to 80K miles if I even do it
Transfer Case and Differential - never done it

Haha. Agreed. Well, Blue one is for daughter about to enter college. She needed a vehicle to go for her summer internship. Then bought the Red one because the son, who was driving the RX300 was having problems with it while going to college. But he didnt like the red color and the wife loved the red color. So bought the white RX350 for the son and wife got the red one. And took back my rx300 where I cleaned up the IACV and put in a replacement Mass Airflow sensor. It runs perfect now. Gotta say, the paint in the RX300 still looks new.

And I have to say the rx300 made me a convert to Lexus. I was a Mercedes man and still have a 420SEL. Van was for carpools. Got to pare down the herd now as e become empty nesters in August.
