It ain't mandatory! I'll be doing oil changes every 3000 miles.

Just did the 1000 mile service today. I also had them put in a new filter and I provided them with Royal Purple oil.

I'm somewhat surprised that the 0W20 full synthetic oil that Lexus recommends for the LS isn't also the default for the IS-F but....
