Just wondering if it is an item on the must do maintance schle. The reason I asked is that the rig I just bought was maintained by the book and never missed a service at the dealer from 1K miles until today when I bought it at 109K miles. Bought at another dealer in Vegas but the above was confirmed by the local Lexus service manager, after we went through all the services and it was confirmed that everything was done at the local dealer on time at the correct miles I just did not ask for a printout. So is changing the AHC on the maintance list???? Hell everything else in the world is :)
 
Indeed it is, shows up for replacement in the manual initially at 60k/72mo. Next time is at 120k/144mo

Initial inspection of the fluid is at 30k, then every 15k thereafter.

Sign up on Lexus.com with VIN and it'll show the service history... but it's not too detailed though.
Get back to the dealer, a service writer can print a more detailed report.
