Hi Everyone,

I just bought my 2016 ES-350. I can do oil change, filters and etc for my current Civic and Odyseey.

I would like to have your recommendations, where do you guys buy OEM parts (such as filters and etc...) for your Lexus online which they have better pricing?

For the oil filter rubber seal ring, should it be replaced for each oil change? How long does the transmission oil be changed?

Thank you.

A new oil filter will also include a new "O" ring. It should be replaced each time you change your oil. Regarding transmission oil changes, Lexus states that it is not necessary. Some Lexus owners disagree and plan to change the trans oil anyway. That's up to you. I use a top of the line Fram oil filter and have for 40 years without an issue. I buy Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic 0W20 or Mobil one full synthetic 0W20 at Walmart as they are the lowest price. Good Luck with your new car.

I never go in a say I want the 10,000, 20,000 or 50,000 mile service. Every 10,000 miles ask for an oil change and tire rotation at the Lexus/Toyota dealership. This should be less than $80. Every 30,000 miles the brake fluid needs to be changed and about $100. Every 20,000 miles change the air and cabin filters. This combined takes five minutes and the air filter can be bought on line at Lexus Parts World for $18. The cabin air filter can be bought at Walmart for $18, It is the Fram Fresh Breeze #10285 with carbon and baking soda to filter the air. Wiper blade inserts again can be bought at Lexus Parts World for $20 for both refills and takes five minutes to replace. You are done until 100,000 miles. At Lexus Parts World use cl5 in the promo code for 10% discount. If you go in an ask for the 10,000, 20,000 30,000 maintenance you will be paying big bucks for a lot more items you do not need checked and inspected. Once a year replace the key fob battery cr2032. Keep receipts for everything. I take my oil filter bought at Lexus Parts World and 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 purchased at Walmart for $24 to my local Toyota dealer and they charge me $15 labor for the oil and $20 for the tire rotation.

If you plan to do a lot of your own service or use a small shop. Join Drive Lexus and add it to all the previous dealer service. This will keep all your cars service records complete.
