Toyota Oil Change Posssible in SoCal?
I live in Orange County and called several Toyota Service locations about an oil change for my GS430. They said that they do not service Lexus cars. Anyone ever had their oil changed at Toyota in SoCal? If so, how much and where are they located (I use Mobil 1 syn). If not, any recommendations for a reliable place, other than Lexus, to have it done.
If no, I know there is a DIY for GS350 oil changes, but is it basically the same for a GS430, other than the filter, or is different for the GS430? I know the filter wrench must be different since it's not in a canister.
One thing is certain, paying $109 for an oil change at Lexus is highway robbery.

Why not just take a jug of your own synthetic oil in and have them do it. That way the price of the oil change comes way down and you get to select the oil they are using

TWong1200 thanks for the info. I emailed Penske and they do work on Lexus GS models. They will change my oil using Mobil 1 synthetic (they will supply), replace oil filter and drain plug gasket and perform a multipoint inspection all for $69.95. Made an appointment for 11AM today. Will let you know how good the service was.

Oil change was done using Mobile 1 syn plus fuel treatment (not sure what the treatment was, but on invoice). It took a little longer then I expected (1-1/2 hours), but they did what they call their 27 point visual inspection which included all the fluids, brakes, air intake filter, battery, tires (got rid of the low tire warning light), reset the oil maintenance warning (no warning now), and gave me a free car wash. They charged $68.88 plus tax. The place was clean and the people courteous. A definite place to go for maintenance.
