I guess this is really a question for the dealer, but I'd like you guys' opinions so that I can have some ammo in my pocketbefore going to the dealer... I have a 2000 RX 300 CPO that is rapidly approaching 60K miles. If you're familiar with my story you'll remember that I'm the one who just had his 5 week old baby diagnosed with severe sludge issues at 55K miles. I was given a new short block, new oil pan, new seals, other items that I can't remember, new coolant, new oil pump. I was out of town when they were doing the reassembly and they tried to get in touch with me to see if I wanted to go ahead and change the timing belt while the engine was apart but by the time I could tell them "yes", they had already put everything back together. Anyway, this being a CPO that was thoroughly "gone over" at 52K plus the engine work that was just done, shouldn't that "excuse" my 60K service? I don't want to do anything to void my CPO status, but I also don't want to do a bunch of unneccessary work and spend money for something that just doesn't need to be done. Your thoughts gentlemen and ladies?

You still need your 60k service minus the 60k items that were done at the 55K short block change. You still need oil and filter even though it was done at 55K (every 5K). Air cleaner element and brake fluid most likely weren't changed at 55K and need to be changed at 60K. There are some other items service advisors recommend not required by Lexus such as trans. fluid and diff. fluid which are questionable. It's not that big of a deal that the timing belt wasn't done at 55K being that it's not due till 100K.
