Welcome to CL! All New IS models require Premium Unleaded. You can use lower octanes for temporary usage but it's best to use premium as the 2GR-FSE 3.5L and 4GR-FSE 2.5L V6's are both high compression engines. Off the top of my head 11.8:1 and 12.0:1 respectively.

Default Always use Premium fuel!

Definitely use the the premium fuel in your lex. In your owners portfolio there is a small booklet called the "Owner's Manual Supplement" that has your maintenance schedule at the back of it. Your 5000 mile service is free and the book has a 5000 mile interval schedule with a brief description of what is to be done/inspected at each service. You can always do your oil changes more frequent, but the book shows every 5k.
