Maintenance for 60k, 90k, 120k
Hi,
I am looking at 3rd Generation RX 350s and wondering if there are any maintenance items to expect, plan, or look for at these mileage ranges, and any other potential issues to look for on used models.
I have searched but haven't come up with anything. Any input is greatly appreciated.

There is a car care supplement booklet to the owner's manual ... should be in your glove compartment.

Thanks for the replies. I am familiar with the Lexus warranty services guide, I was asking if there was any common areas of failure or additional preventative maintenance that are required/recommended at these mileage ranges, beyond the Warranty Services Guide.

Change your transmission fluid at around 50,000 miles if you plan to keep the vehicle over 100,000 miles. Some dealers will do this service and some will not. You can also have it done at a Toyota dealer. It pays to shop around as prices vary. No fluid is actually a lifetime product. What they really mean is the expected lifetime of your ownership (car loan), and through the life of the warranty.
Change your brake fluid every 3 years as it absorbs moisture which can lead to weaker brakes and corrosion of expensive brake system components.
If prior to 2013 check for leaking rear shocks.
For any model year have a mechanic check for the minor but very expensive to repair timing cover leak. It is only a trickle that makes a small hard to detect mess, but the engine must be pulled up to replace the gasket. Cost is about $3,000!
