Default Oil Change: Lexus or Toyota?

So who here gets their oil change done at a Lexus Dealer or Toyota Dealer? And why?

Toyota. I take my own synthetic oil and genuine filter in, and they charge me $15 for my LS460L.

Go wherever is synthetic.

I usually DIY. But if no access to tools, then i usually just bring my oil and filter to a regular place and have them change it using the provided supplies.

I'll usually bring in my own synthetic oil and filter to Lexus and pay a flat rate of $17 plus tax for the oil change.

While I'm waiting at the Lexus dealership, I'll eat a bunch of the yogurt supply and drink as much of the Starbucks coffee that I can chug while enjoying their available massage chairs. I guess you can say I get my money's worth.
