Has anyone done their own oil change yet?
DIY will be gladly appreciated😁

Also: how early are some of you guys doing it? 1k,5k, or dealer recommended 10k?(which I think is too long)

Dealer recommends changing the oil at 10K. The 5K and 10K service are free of charge.

Changing mine at 10K sorry forgot to add that Lexus has figured out how to make a car and engine last. Going to do what they recommend.

Where did they state for you that 5k and 10k is complimentary?

I only received a 1k and 5k service coupon.

Also during the purchase I didn't get free interval service like many here did, which added to the cost of the car.(which i'm okay with)

Somewhere on Lexus owners website it says 5k and 10k service are complimentary.

Im only finding that 1000 and 5000 miles are complimentary. Correct me if im wrong

If you go to the "scheduled maintenance" tab in that link it's the last line in the "proper maintenance intervals" paragraph.

Wording is weird, and appears to refer to synthetic oil changes. This was taken from the Scheduled Maintenance Tab on the link (I did not include the chart). Interpret it however you like.

PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Your Lexus should receive scheduled maintenance every 5,000 miles or every six months, depending on your circumstances and driving habits.

Use the following chart to determine your maintenance schedule. (The chart below is for a non-synthetic oil vehicle, please confirm the chart will reflect a synthetic oil vehicle when appropriate. Synthetic oil vehicle complementary services are 6 months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles.)

So the website is stating they will change our oil at 5k/6 months, and also 10k/12 months?

Fsportlex

Check your owners manual pages it says it in there the 5k and 10k are free.......always good to give the manual a read lol

Fsportlex

They change it at 10k miles...but like me i had them do it at 5k you just have to ask....

aTeAse

If you ask to do it at 5k, do they do it again at 10k?

1000km first service
10,000km / 6 monthly

Changing my own at 1000 - this coming weekend. Might be paranoid by I suspect there are tiny metal shavings in the oil from the break-in period. Also want to get high quality oil (AMSOil) in as soon as possible.
