Default is350 60k DIY help/ questions, OEM tq. specs? Service lift points?

Those of you who used lifts with these cars, how do you usually place the arms on the lift under the car, anything I should know in particular or is it pretty much run of the mill as with other cars?
(Haven't even looked under it since I just bought it, will I need to shim the lift pads etc etc)

What is the factory stated consensus on the spark plugs, should I put them in DRY, NO anti-seize?
Is there a factory recommended torque spec, is there one? (not from forum posts, but actual service manual stated spec). Anyone ever had cross thread issues with these heads? (God I hope not.)

Torque specs on oil filter cap?

What is the OEM/ factory recommended oil BRAND? I will use OEM weight.

I'm just looking for answers that would come from lexus themselves here, not opinions. I can't find actual factory specs on these things. I always try to keep my cars serviced to the specs/ methods that the dealership would.

Thanks in advance...

I used anti-seize when I installed my new plugs; I always do so with aluminum heads. I cannot remember the torque spec though; but I found it through Club Lexus here.

The oil canister that the oil filter sits in I only hand tighten plus a slight tug with the specialty wrench tool...which I permanently keep on that canister.

Oil brand the factory uses...no sure; but Mobil 1 full syn is a win! 5w-30 for PA will be fine.
