Picked up a very low mileage 2025 RX350 Luxury on Wednesday, and we love it! I've never felt out of my depths with car technology, but we're getting our arms around it! Not asking for help here... I am working my way through the manual, but things like displaying real-time tire pressure on the instrument cluster, or is there an electronic oil level indicator (like so many German cars have moved to) or is the old school dipstick the way to go? What about viewing oil pressure? These are all things I'm used to seeing coming from BMW's and Porsche's, and realize they may not need to be monitored real time in a non-sports car the likes of a Lexus.
Anyway, this beautiful Iridium with Peppercorn semi-aniline leather interior is pretty amazing!
The RX has a dipstick. Northside Lexus RX Deep Dive videos on YouTube. Four hours of learning that is so much better than reading the manuals.
You are not kidding.
The manual is a tough read... I'm on page 143 so far today (skimmed about 1/2 of them so far that didn't apply, or I didn't need to know). Thanks for the tip on the videos!

TBH the manual is a waste of time, it has excessive amounts of vague disclosures and is very light on real details. I just played with stuff on the car and then referenced the manual if I needed to. You can download it on your phone which makes it easy to search.
You should have an oil pressure gauge alongside your boost gauge in the instrument cluster. They're together on my 23 at least, not sure if that carried over to the bigger newer cluster.
Real time tire pressure is in the center display, under Vehicle > Tire Information
You will enjoy this car. I am on my 4th RX. Currently, I have a 2023, Luxury, Nori Green.
In my opinion, the quality and luxury of the current models is far below my first RX (2007) but, still a great all purpose car. Enjoy it.

Really? Wow! I know they've always been nice, but I didn't expect someone would say a prior generation was more luxurious!
I would say this RX in Luxury trim is every bit as nice as the 2016 BMW X5M I had. I'm currently driving a Macan S, and the RX is definitely more luxurious, but the Macan's design intentions are different... geared much more toward road feel, firm seat feel, and functionality.
Yeah, they've gone down quite a bit on luxury. It may be more accurate to say many other marques have caught up or even surpassed Lexus while they've stagnated.

I would agree with this. I just got out of a BMW M4 and my Lexus is WAY more luxurious. Like you said, Ignorance is bliss!!! 😁
First Lexus! VERY Impressed!
