Hello,

I just did my FIRST timing belt + WP + misc belts and valve seals replacement @ 101780 miles at Belcrest Automotive here in Houston. I am VERY PLEASED with the quality of the work performed and the price was fantastic too( $400 for labor + $250 for parts).

I did notice the car is NOW running much smoother the prior to change. The master mechanic, also said, the car is running Fantastic and should last long if oil change is done at a regular interval of 7500 (or 6 miles).

The master mechanic told me that he will do oil change for me and will charge ONLY $12.50 for labor if I buy the oil + filter.

So, Where do you suggest I buy " 5 or 6 quarts Valvoline VV955 SynPower Motor Oil SAE 5W-30" + "Mobil 1 M1-102 Extended Performance Oil Filter" at regular interval (say every 6 months) and pay NO shipping charges (if possible)?

Also, is Mobil 1 M1-102 Extended Performance Oil Filter the RIGHT CHOICE for my 2002 (purchased in Oct 2001) lexus es 300?

Thanks a LOT folks.

Don't know about the filter but you should be able to purchase the oil at Walmart in gallon jugs. Can't imagine anyone being cheaper...

ya i bought 5L Valvoline premium 5w30 oil for 9 bucks ( was on sale) from Walmart and another 9 bucks for the OEM Toyota oil filter and did it DIY. Last time i put Castrol GTX since it was also on sale. But this time its Valvoline. Just shop around and see which store has it on sale
