negotiate toyota/lexus service
I have been getting my oil changes at either lexus or toyota dealerships and am sick of paying so much when I know that I can do it myself or take it somewhere for much cheaper. I just like that everything is documented on lexus.com when they do do a service. So I was wondering if it is possible to negotiate the price or if there is any route i can go from a dealer that is under 85$

What does the labor usually run? How much do you actually save with this approach?

I think it's over $100 for a synthetic oil change. I'd say you'd save over $25 estimating the filter costs $10 and $8 for a single court of Mobil 1 at an auto parts store. They probably charge about $20 for labor. Just a guess though. You'd have to ask your local dealer for their labor charge if you supply parts.

The dealers around here charge about $40 for labor and tax. That's if you bring your own oil and filter
Is the $85 your paying for a synthetic or regular oil change? Because if its synthetic, that's not bad for a dealership price. Around here its about $120 for synthetic oil change and $70 for regular oil after taxes and everything.
Better yet, find a good independent shop and just keep all the receipts of the work done!

+1 for buying the oil and filter and just paying for the dealership labor. You can get it done for cheaper at independent shops, but I like having all my service records with Lexus (better resale value perhaps) and I'm willing to definitely pay an extra $10-$20 once or twice a year for that.
