I usually just take mine to Toyota. I assume that Lexus and Toyota use the same oil and filter. Ive been doing that for awhile now. Much cheaper than going to Lexus lol.

5-30w Castrol Fully Synthetic doesn't burn oil. From my experience works better than Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic. Just saying.

Now they got Castrol Edge and Mobil 1 Extended, but I use the regular Castrol Fully synthetic, so don't quote me on the new ones.

I just changed mine this week. Castrol Edge 5w30 with K&N filter. They were on sale together for 29.99. Change it every 5000-6000 miles, so once a year.

Car has 66,600 miles.

(mostly got K&N oil filter because my car is white - Haha)
