GTA owners: Are you guys taking your cars back for service at the dealers?
If so, what are you guys doing? Full service or just oil changes? Which dealership and would you recommend them?

The grade of oil (along with other fluids and many other important things) is specified in your owner's manual.

Took mine to Lexus. $100 plus tax. Figure the 6.8 quarts of oil it takes I won't be saving that much from "my guy".

Damn.....
For me:
- synthetic oil $30-35 on sale
- synthetic oil filter $10 on sale
- time in my garage 15 mins
- total = $40-50 in material and 15 minutes of my time.

Toyota dealerships do service Lexus vehicles FYI. The prices for service are cheaper.
