Default 2013 GS 350 F Sport 20K Service

Hey guys,

I am due for the 20K service soon. This will be my first service since purchasing the car a couple of months ago. What is included in this service? And how much did you guys pay for the 20K service?

My indy mechanic tries to help me save money too. I DIY the air filters and he does the oil change. For reference, I just log the mileage/service info into my Lexus Owners profile/account to keep track of things.

I was quoted $110 for an oil change and filter. The "20K Service" is $269, so I am probably going to opt for just the oil change and do the cabin filter myself.

Local dealer charges $78 for the oil change on the GS. They offer $10 off if you go in on a Saturday. So $68 including tax and fees. Plus the free wash and vac.

HERE is the service costs from a Lexus dealership.

$139.50 for 20K Mile Service - but does not include engine air filter or cabin air filter.

Except for the engine oil and filter change most of the other service that is done are simple inspections. And, the tire rotation is oftentimes not needed because it is done free at tire shops where tires are bought.

Bring your own oil, oil filter, and take it to Toyota. I use to do that for my 2010 RX up until it hit 100k miles. Now that my local Toyota dealer has raised the labor charge from $15 to $25, it no longer makes sense to take it there. So I take it to Lexus. The data put in at the Toyota dealer during my oil changes at Toyota some how shows up on my Lexus driver account online. Maybe the systems are linked? Idk...

Why are they charging for the 10k service? Is it because they added a 1k service to try and avoid the free 10k oil change?

If the free car wash is included, sometimes taking it to the dealer may be worth it. Depending on how well the car wash is. Some dealerships just rinse with de-ionized water and wipe it down, it does a decent job but not what you'd expect in a "car wash".

I guess the Stealer forgot to read the Owner's Manual on Oil Change Frequency. Every 5K....Realy!!??

I would not consider a dealer car wash a postive. I'd always shy away from a dealer wash!

How hard is the cabin air filter replacement?
