Whats the deal with
Transmission flush/ Drain and fill/ Fluid exchange?
My RX330 has 92k - I called Dealer and service tech
told me that Lexus says never.

The newer RX350 uses Toyota WS. You cannot use this in your RX330. Toyota WS transmission fluid is stated as being "lifetime" for whatever that means. None of these fluids are lifetime, IMO. Perhaps that is what the dealer as thinking.
Like many questions you might have, all this has been discussed before. You just need to use the search features of the forum to find the details. Such as:

What you probably want to take a look at is the power steering reservoir. The power steering fluid is DEXRON II/III, as described in the Owner's Manual. Probably never been touched and may need some attention. Search the forums here at CL for more details on that process.

BTW, is your RX330 FWD or AWD? If AWD you will also want to tend to the gear oil in the front transfer case and the rear differential. If FWD you have neither of those so the transmission fluid is all you need to tend to in that regard.
