This is a quote I made in another thread. In my previous posts I mentioned does it really make a difference if change oil early. Saw an interesting car care nut you tube video. He said for the first 100k miles you could get by with very little maintenance. For the 1 to 200k if followed manufacturers maintenance you would see very little difference. It was the 200k to 400k where you would reap the benefits of changing oil early from beginning. Now that makes sense to me.

Some people only focus on the 10k/12mo but the manual clearly states that when driving on those special conditions it's 5k/6mo; and those conditions could apply to a greater number of people who only focus on the 10k/12mo. So when the Lexus Engineers say 10k/mo they are not lying; It's 10k/12mo under their normal expected conditions.

i always like to put objective info out there at least once.. maybe twice. someone may consider or use it. you can argue it's good to brush your teeth daily and you'll still get those who say its not needed and they brush every other day despite there being minimal cost or effort involved to do it daily.
i say let them. beyond your one go at it, don't try too hard to convince them.

What do you mean non-hybrid ES does not?
I have non-hybrid and it has auto stop-start.
I disable it everytime I hit the start engine button though.
I don't like engine stopping and starting.

I didn't have an option to do oil change at 3k miles as I got this car second hand.
If I bought it brand new, I would have 100 percent done it.
I will also do 5-6k miles oil changes from now on.
As the saying goes billions of times..
Oil is $1, the engine is $20k.
