Do Lexus dealerships use TGMO oil? Are they required to?
I took my car in for an oil change at the Lexus dealership for the first time last week. I usually change my own oil on my wife's 07 RX, but I had to get a firmware update to the Nav done on my 2014 IS, so I decided to save the time and pay for an oil change at the dealership. When I got a loaner vehicle I saw that the car had an oil change "next service" sticker from the dealership w/ a quaker state oil logo on it.
When I got my vehicle back though my change oil "next service" sticker was generic with no logo.
which leads me to ask, are Lexus dealers required to use Toyota brand oil for an oil change or can they use whatever they want?

Required is such a strong word lol yet not many dealerships care.
Even in the manual the requirement is the grade, and not the brand. Unless Toyota begun requiring specific add packs and such then theres no need for a required brand.

True. I believe the main out-lier is the excess ZDDP. But again Toyota is`t requiring this in their engines, as its not critical. If it was it would be a requirement

No requirement to use Toyota labeled oil.
