Does anyone stick with the 3k interval schedule recommended by the dealer? I feel this is overkill, and an attempt to make $$$. Modern oil and filters should last longer IMO, but im not an expert. What do you guys think?

Also, if i were to do it myself, what oil and filter would you recommend? Should i stick with the OEM filter?

Thanks

change interval is 5K.....

i dont ever change my oil at 3K with the modern day tech into oils, i do every 5k miles. anything below that and you are just throwing away good oil still. i also just use oem filters

as far what oil to use, thats subjective and ultimately going to be up to you. everyone has their own preference for their own reasons

If I decide to change it myself, how do I reset the oil change light? Where should I get OEM filter?

you can go to any Lexus/Toyota dealer to get the OEM oil filter. Most of the members here get them from Sewell (one of the CL Sponsors)

I change every 5k

Every 5K is all thats needed unless your a taxi.

6-7k for me.

I did 7K using Mobil1 Synthetic

i tried 7500 once with the same weight Eneos i use now. the oil still looked good even still after 7500 miles. but i just wanted to try it and see. i stick with 5k though. just peach of mind i guess lol. old habits die hard

You can do 10k if your car came with 5w20 full synthetic oil

I started with 5k intervals, 7k interval, now 10k interval. I'm sure I can even do 12k interval. (Mobil 1 synthetic oil)
