I purchased 2015 RX 350 with CPO warranty 2 years ago. I've been going dealer to do the regular 5000 miles maintenance, and the free maintenances came with it are all used up.
What is the reason amount that I expect for those 5k regular maintenance if I am paying out of pocket? I'm in IL state.
thanks.

You can call the dealership to ask about pricing. I believe every 5000 miles the recommendations are to have tires rotated. Every 10000 miles or 1 year they recommend an oil change. Ever so often they also recommend to have air cabin and engine filter changed too. You probably could figure that out yourself, buy your own filters and save a lot of money. Oil change and tire rotation at my dealership is about $119.99. Rotation of tires is $29.99. Which city in IL would you go for service?

You should also compare prices at your local Toyota dealer for the same services if you like going to the dealer. Toyota dealers work on Lexus vehicles all the time. The mechanical parts are all the same Toyota stuff.

Just call the local dealer [Lexus or Toyota] will get the "correct" answer to the question. You are not obligated to go the dealer or the shop. If by a far chance the service department is not polite, just ask to be connected to the service advisor. To rectify their problem they may offset some of the charge or provide complementary service.
Each service is different, and I would encourage members to look at the thinner book in the glove compartment. Every service based on milage and time is listed and each item has a check box. The owner can bring their own parts and material, but do check with the service writer before hand as they may balk at non-Lexus/Toyota parts. They had no issue with me bringing oil of my choice.
Some dealers may suggest additional service items either to upsell or for local conditions.

If you look at your maintenace schedules the majority are visual inspections, rotations, and lube. You can DIY most of it or take into a INDY for the same service at half the cost (as long as you trust the shop). Keep records on each service and you`ll be fine. Just dont put anything not called for, like replacing factory fluid coolant for say green autozone generic.
I DIY the maintenance on all four of our vehicles. For anything that I cannot do, I have a couple of well-respected independent shops that I utilize. Do your research on the indie shops in your area and you are likely to find at least one that you can trust.
