LX570 30k service

[GOHOGS]

All,

I'm coming up on 30k miles on my '14 CPO. Zero issues to date and I'm very happy with the car. I plan on having my closest Lexus dealer handle the service (about 120 miles away). I plan on purchasing OEM air and cabin filters online and replacing myself to cut down on some of the cost. Otherwise, I plan on following the items in the maintenance book during the service. I also use the TRD oil filters and plan to continue using that filter. I'm trying to get maintenance on what needs done without throwing away $ on a large bill checking / replacing items that aren't necessary at the dealer. Knowing I could do it elsewhere than the dealer for less, I don't plan on taking it anywhere else as I want the records to show Lexus performed major services for resale value down the road.

Is there anything else you recommend I have inspected, drained, filled, replaced, etc etc? The car is mainly highway miles and not driven hard whatsoever.

GOHOGS,

The 30k service is actually pretty easy to accomplish on your own if you wanted to knock it out. The only thing I thing I could see some having issues with is the brake fluid flush. Which to me is a bit excessive. You could take it in and have them do that part while you knock out the rest.

My $.02 would be that you take care of the maintenance yourself if you're looking to save some money.
