The bottom line is, unless geographically challenged or short on cash, please, please do NOT service your Lexus @ a Toyota dealership, because your My Lexus database and Carfax will show that your car wasn't properly serviced and you will lose money when you attempt to trade it or sell it.
Losing money when you sell the truck is purely a matter of negotiating skills.

This isn't the post I recall, but a similar one. I don't have the energy or time to spend proving your are wrong. Yes, it is true the LC doesn't have the hydraulic ride control system the LX does. The point is, that more than one person has taken their LX into the local Toyota dealer for service and the dealer added a hydraulic fluid that was not compatible with the Lexus spec. This has caused them big $$'s.

You could have been referring to a few posts above it talking about AHC goofiness. The "Keith" person who is / maybe was a 2nd source for pressure globes and recommending ATF in the AHC system has been roundly denounced on MUD by those who've used his products with way less than stellar results.
You don't need to "prove me wrong"...this doesn't need to be a pissing match. Anecdotally, I'm sure some shops have used the wrong fluid. I'm not sure how it "caused them big $$'s"...mistakes like that you wouldn't pay for as the dealer or shop has the specs in front of them. As to Toyota v. Lexus dealers, that depends on the dealer, obviously. Land Cruisers have also come with ACH.

If I were considering buying a used Lexus and saw that services were performed @ a non-Lexus dealership, Toyota or otherwise, I would definitely pass. Just as a Porsche or Audi buyer would pass if serviced @ VW. Shallow or not, he who has the money sets the rules.
And to Mr-Know-It All pontificating on every thread while not owning an actual Lexus, please relax and get some class.

If you're referring to me with the "not owning an actual Lexus"...I've got a few Franklins if you're very sure that's true.

I wasn't the one who thought the LX and the Land Cruisers were not made on the same assembly lines.
