Do you do your own oil changes and what kind of oil do you use?
 
I have always done my own oil changes on previous cars because I am pretty anal about other people working on my car. Plus, I use Mobil1 synthetic and people charge up the ass for synthetic oil changes. What kind of oil and filter do you guys use if you are doing it yourself. Are there any tips or tricks on a 2IS 250 or is it just pretty much the same as any other car? I was thinking about using my regular 5w-30 Mobil1 with a toyota filter or would any other filter be fine?

Here's a nice thread on oil changes:

If you do a search for "diy oil change" you should see plenty of helpful posts.

I still have one more complimentary free oil change by Lexus and I should be bring it in around January. After that, it's DIY for me. :)
