When do I have to change the oil?
In my owners book it tells me to change the oil every 7500 miles. I recently changed my oil at my local lexus dealership and they charged me about 80 dollars for regular oil and told me to come back after 4000 miles. I was thinking about taking it back after 5000 miles but my service light came on after 4300 miles. You guys think its safe if I ride out to 5000 miles?

What kind of oil are they using, Synthetic or non Synthetic?
I use Mobil 1 Synthetic and I can push it to 8000+ miles on normal driving. You just have to change your oil filter every 4000-5000 miles.
Maybe thats why the Stealership wants you back by 4000 miles.
I can do your oil change for $75 J/K

On the 2JZGE, I use to run Mobil 1 5w30 Extended Life 15k and still changed it at 6k. The car ran like a top at 90k when i traded it in. You will be fine running regular synthetic till 6 as well. I drove a lot in rush hour also.
