I'll chose to move on from the nonsense - it's divergence like these that people stop using these forums. Forums like ih8mud don't put up with the nonsense and provide invaluable collaboration for owners. Folks should not look to be offended when someone ask for a specific owners experience. Sometimes sitting on the sidelines is hard.

It’s funny you don’t see the wrong in asking for help, receiving said help, and then dismissing that same help that you asked for, without even bothering to confirm that help, all because you’re an elitist that thinks that Lexus completely redesigned the UI because it has 2 extra cylinders. All that happened with the IS500 is that they moved the coolant temperature to the right, added oil temperature in the left, and they removed one of reset maintenance options since you guys have a 5K OCI. Aside from that and the different start up annimation, basically any F Sport from 2021+ is identical as far as what you are asking. But hey, apparently I still don’t know enough about the car?

OK, so it turns out, I was surprised by what I saw in poking around in the menus. We have a lot of options for maintenance reminders, actually!
First, you go to Setup -> Vehicle -> Maintenance.
Then, you are greeted by a whole matrix of options. You can set individual reminders for each category.
For instance, if I select "Engine Oil", I see the following.
I elected to go ahead and set my own personal reminder for transmission fluid while I was in there.
As for showing the miles remaining until the next service, I didn't have any luck. Even though the "Reminder" setting was turned on, I couldn't see the next maintenance in miles using the "ODO/TRIP" button. I checked to see if it was an option in the Vehicle Settings or Meter Settings, and the closest I got was this option to reset the maintenance data.
So, long story short, I think the IS 350 and 500 are, in fact, different, unless this was a 2022/2023 change and not specific to the IS 500. I know for a fact that I could look at the maintenance interval in the gauges in my 2021 IS 350.

In situations like this, it is best to just be patient and let someone come forward with the facts. I had a hunch something was up when I could distinctly remember that I saw the maintenance mileage in my IS 350 but didn't recall seeing it in my new car. Yet, no one was able to prove anything one way or another up until my last post. The owner's manual has had misprints before, especially regarding the IS 500 - specifically for the 2022 model year. At the same time, I think @jsch222 didn't mean any harm with his request for an IS 500 owner (more so just confirmation of what he was seeing on his own vehicle), but I can see how it came off as othering an IS 350 owner who is merely trying to provide their experience and perspective just due to the way it was worded. Intuitively, the gauge cluster is the same, so it stands to reason that the maintenance stuff would behave the same way. So, I don't blame Tonio for jumping in here.
However, it is sad to say, these are quirky Lexus cars. Like, for example, why does an LC 500 get a mini-G-Force meter in its gauge cluster without having to move the tach over, yet the IS 500 does not? Don't they have the same gauges and same engine? Don't they both have the capability to display a G-Force meter? After driving an LC myself, it seems to me that the gauges may appear similar in photos, but they are actually two distinct units - even the position of the numbers on the tachometer are different. For whatever reason, the IS's F Sport gauges just don't support that smaller G-Force meter. (Thankfully, the oil temp gauge is intact.)
In any case, whenever you have an issue with something that has been posted, please PM me or any other moderator instead of calling names or doing any kind of fighting. We should not be looking to start a fight - always assume the other poster has the best intentions and not the worst.

I decided to make a separate post to respond to all the discussion happening above.
