RX in NC

I will be doing the 80,000-mile service on my wife's 2015 RX350 FWD within the next month. While I have the vehicle up on jack stands for its routine tire rotation, I will check the condition of the factory rear shocks, the factory rear control arm bushings, and the factory front struts. I will also check for the infamous timing cover oil seepage flaw. I did three successive Toyota WS ATF drain-and-fills late last July at 65,000 miles so no need to do that job again until the 100,000 to 110,000 miles range.

Purchased in late October 2018 at 32,750 miles, this has been a solid vehicle for us thus far requiring nothing but routine maintenance from me (with the exception of the lousy interior leather quality and the exploding glass sunroof that Lexus refused to take responsibility for even though there are class-action lawsuits against them for this dangerous fault). She drives it as the SUV it is, not as a jack rabbit race car, and that has certainly helped keep it in great shape. And although it has the factory tow package, I would never actually tow with it. That is what my 1999 Ram is for.

This is third RX my wife has owned as her daily driver going back nearly 20 years. The first one was a 2000 RX300 AWD (owned from 2003 to 2007), the second one was a 2004 RX330 AWD (owned from 2007 to 2012), and now this 2015 RX350 FWD (owned since late 2018). I believe her 2004 RX330 had the best overall build quality of the three.

Sounds like a good plan. Look at the Warranty and Service booklet and check each item in the list for the milage.

If you ever figure out "Chassis bolts and nuts", let me know.
