Sorry ... but Costco Oil ? ... saving maybe $20 per oil change ... do the cost-per-mile calculation ... and buy a premium brand oil of your choice.

OEM Bolt quality is not bad ... the threads become locked from road contamination ... and even worse ... from winter road salts ... so using anti-seize compound on the threads is important for any "under-carriage" fasteners. Unfortunately, Lexus/Toyota did not apply from the factory ...
If excessive torque is required ... (slightly) alternate between the loosening and tightening directions to free up the locked threads before attempting to remove. This will free-up the thread corrosion. Beyond that ... "PB Blaster" is your friend ... it has capillary action that will penetrate frozen threads ... which applied (hours) before removal ... will almost guarantee a no-drama fastener removal.
