I do mine myself. It takes me about 1/2 hour and I know it is done properly.

I use only synthetic oil, usually from Walmart. I buy three 5-quart jugs for about $21 a piece, which is more than enough to change oil on my GS and my wife's RX. Two cars oil changes with tire rotations take just about an hour.

I used to when I was younger... now with kids I don't bother especially since we hardly use the car. I get it changed with amsoil once a year so I don't care about paying them to get dirty for me so infrequently. I don't take it to Lexus I take it to an independent toyota/lexus shop. It's about $70 for full synthetic change which is pretty good for Toronto considering Lexus charges like $120 for dino.

I'll make my own cookies.

I change oil myself. Piece of cake to do, just messy sometimes....(when you step in the oil container)
Takes me about 25 minutes.

^ should teach your kid to do that for you. Or at least get them do the car wash. LOL

I do mine and my wife's RX. However, I buy Mobil1 at Walmart, and have access to a lift at the nearby Military installation ($3.00 charge), so to me the hard part doesn't exist. Also, Discount Tire rotates our tires for free.

iv got 4 cars, its quicker for me if I do it my self

DIY as well, and TBH I'd do it even if there were no cost saving (which there is!) - I'd just prefer to know how to do these things myself. And it's such an easy job too - raising the car correctly is the main work, oil change itself is a piece of ****.

start them young. they need these basic skills to fix spaceship in the future.

I'd do more of my oil change if I have access to a lift. This GS is so low that driving up my ramp would scratch it's front. And craw in there too. Such a pain and it double the time.

Just bought my GS. Will DIY oil changes for sure. IMO it's good to see what's going on in the engine compartment once in a while.

Do you have to be ex military to access the lifts? (or is this just a personal connection?)

I just did mine for the 1st time. The oil had about 3,500 miles on it.I was surprised how clean the oil still was. The owner i bought the car from had the oil always done at the dealer. The oil filter was so tight that it almost didnt come off. The filter totally crushed as I tried to remove it. I switched the car to Mobil1 which i have always run in my cars. Easy job

I took mine to Lexus when I first got it(twice), then to Toyota a couple times. The I just started doing to myself, super easy and I trust myself more than that person turning wrenches trying to be fast to knock out cars.
