No car should ever be so complicated that it takes eight guys the better part of a day to do an oil change.

Thats smart to put the oil filters in a easy place to get to. Never seen a car that took 2 filter though then again it is an LFA.

isnt this video belong to an LFA owner on CL?

If I had an LFA, I would film the oil changes too to ensure the car is treated properly. Infact, I would film all my services...24/7 haha

I bet the service manager has a small heart attack when the owner comes in. I have had my GS , G35, and LS damaged at the dealership during service. I can only imagine the drama if they damaged something as special as an LFA

wow, what a complex process. and that black lf-a looks stunning. i'm trying to think of ANY vehicle i've ever thought was better looking.

some funny comments below the video.

Ehhh, I play this very same music when i change the oil in my Altima SE-R and it makes me feel epic too....
lol. All kidding aside, the LFA is an amazing piece of machinery, and i do not mock it

I believe she leaves her LFA at the dealership most of the time, so she doesn't actually come in for service.

BTW, she also owns a 2010 isf, 2013 isf and a rav 4.

LFA oil change calls for a full cycle, so it's going to take time no matter what. Owners have the option of requesting lead LFA technicians from Lexus be sent in to do the service, so basically when you see so many people involved it's because there are extra service people around observing/learning from the lead techs.

I did a hybrid 1-2 year service with the oil change (plus lead tech mentioned above) for $1500. Relative to supercar service in general, that's a bargain.
