Default Oil reset and Lexus oil?

2 part question for those of you who know.

How do you reset the oil service light? I think you have to push two buttons on the dash or something.


Also anyone know what brand of oil Lexus uses in their Toyota bottles? for dino and sytech?

The Toyota oil is Mobil 1 OW20. You can also purchase it from any Toyota dealer...

Am I wrong in assuming they use dino oil as OEM in our LS's? Otherwise, I don't understand the need for a 5,000 miles change interval.

I use either Pennzoil or Quaker State 5W20 full synthetic - Walmart $20 for 5 US quarts. About 8-10K miles per change.
