Default Service Interval Question

I bought a 1999 ES 300 in July with 180000. The car did not come with a owners manual and on lexus drivers I cannot find a service interval chart. I am wondering for things such as air filter,fuel filter, etc.

I have had all of the major stuff done including the timing belt job, struts and tires. I just want to keep up on the rest of it. I drive 125 miles a day for work so I need to make the car last.

I have those intervals in my head. You kind of just pick up on some things as you work more and more on your personal cars.

This is with 12-15k miles/year:
Air filters are about every 30k miles, but it depends on how dusty your environment is.
Fuel filter is about the same, maybe even more.
Coolant is 2-3 years.
Brake Fluid is 1-2 years (I do a complete flush when I do my brake pads)
Power Steering once a year
Engine Oil/Filter 5-6k miles (I also rotate the tires at the same time)
Transmission Fluid - once a year
Spark Plugs and O2 sensors - every 100k
MAF Sensor and IACV Cleaning - once a year
PCV Valve - I hear it should be done every 30k or so.
Tire Alignment - once a year
Wiper Blades - once a year

You should be able to order an owners manual from the Lexus Drivers website.

I have been doing the oil every 3000 using quaker state defy. I have never done the brake fluid is that common? Also I have not done anything with the tranny as I am worried about it due to mileage and lack of service history. When it is cold out it will not shift into OD until it is warm but I heard that it is normal for all of these cars. At times between 20-40 when I let off the gas and get back on the gas the car jerks a bit.
