Every 5000 for conventional oil. LS430 takes 4.7 or so with filter. Surprisingly, the GS takes about a quart more (according to manufacturing specs).
TO the OP, theres not much to it. Just as a note, you no longer have to take off the entire undercarriage tray to access the oil filter like in previous models. There is a small cut out section they can be opened independently to provide access to the filter (Im glad lexus finally did this).
I strongly suggest you go with a reputable filter, non of that fram stuff.

and Lexus filter is probably wayyy over priced...

And the Lex filter costs more than the Fram but it IS better - buy 'em on-line and several at a time and they'll end up costing less.

OK, I guess I do have it! It's a little cutout that you unbolt and then fold back and allows access to the filter but if you don't remove the whole tray the oil runs all over the place via the tray. At least that's what happened the last time I did it that way.
