Nice photos. I noticed you said nothing about jack stands. I notice there was none then in the last photo, I see one on passenger side. After my father told me about someone he new getting killed and another lamed for life after hydraulic failures, I would not craw under a car with only a jack. Keep yourself safe 
.. Nice photos of the metal shavings. In your experience, do you see those after the first oil change?

I have a 07 IS250 with about 600 miles. I was thinking about changing my oil at 1,500.
But some say they put a special break in oil at the factory and not to change the oil to soon.
I dont know, I'm like you I would rather change the oil sooner then prolong it.

Initially, the reason they don't put synthetic in the car, is that the non-synthetic is thicker. It breaks in the engine better. Personally, I wouldn't change it the first time until it's stated at 5,000. Verry nice pics and post though. Nice job.
